Never Stop Training_.

Improving the health and wellness of our community is a priority for MacGillivray Law. We also understand the value of fitness instruction that instills virtues of discipline, respect, and care for oneself, especially for young people who may be going through a challenging time.

Research from leading health journals suggests a positive correlation between cognitive development in vulnerable youths and training in mixed martial arts. The structure, interaction with adults and other young people who may come from similar backgrounds, and an athletic output all help create a positive environment for young people to grow.

MacGillivray Law has sponsored Dukes Up Boxing, a New Glasgow gym that has helped young people in the local community have a productive outlet to work through challenges in a safe environment.

Now, MacGillivray Law is launching a grant program to cover the costs of membership classes for young people from ages 10 to 18 in Atlantic Canada who would benefit from the positive intervention of structured martial arts classes. It is our hope that through this program, we are able to change the trajectory of some of the lives of young Atlantic Canadians.

If you know a young person who would benefit from access to martial arts classes, fill out the form below. Due to the volume of submissions, MacGillivray Law cannot support all the applicants we receive, but will endeavor to fund opportunities for the applications who could benefit from this program the most.
