At her Dartmouth, N.S., boxing club, coach Bridget Stevens shares the lessons she grew up with on the Eskasoni First Nation.
It's more important to her that fighters learn how to be good people and support each other than it is for them to win every match.
"What I'm doing here is what our community members do to help one another," said Stevens, who owns Tribal Boxing Club on Windmill Road. 
It's why even in the middle of a pandemic, she's offering free classes for youth who can't afford to pay. She wants boxing to be a refuge for those who need it, like it has been for her.
