The guys from Northern Pics came over to SRG Thai Boxing this past week to record for their TV series Ice Wars that goes to air on ABC.
They covered and interviewed the kids and the officers that have been working together with our head coach Luis Regis and one of our great friends Richie Vas in a program called “Back on Track”
The boys together with the PCYC Daceyville and the Shack group have been helping kids and teenager that have been in trouble of somehow and have had issues with the authorities.
The crew was interested in the experience this young people have had during their life, with their guardians, what they have been exposed to and what not. The type of neighborhood that they were brought up and the influence that it has taken in their life.
They followed them for the morning, on their usual Monday and Wednesday routine. PCYC Daceyville and The Shack go to each individual house of this kids and picks them all up to come to training. Then they go back to the station after training , get fed breakfast and then they are all taken to school in a great program that incentives them to get a workout, have decent food in the morning and go straight to school, at least in those 2 occasions of the week.
We have had over the year some changes that are not even measurable. Kids gone from been absolutely unreliable, having bad attitude towards their instructors, teachers and also towards the officers that have been carrying it out the program, to now been great kids, with a positive attitude that are now really interested in Muay Thai and have developed a self discipline within themselves that is the most rewarding thing we could expect. There are a few of them, that over the years have been serving a guide through the new comers, and they have been awarded full free pass to the gym and have been taking most advantage of it.
They will star in the 4th episode of the upcoming series and we look forward to see them improving in life and getting to a better place in their minds.
