OUR STORY

Working with our youth to achieve a better future.

​

Michael Wulf aka Peterson was born and breed in Samoa and hails from a long line of Professional Boxers, having competed on the International Circuit himself. In fact, much like the L&P Bottle in Paeroa, Mike is ‘world famous in Hamilton’.
Mike has always used his skills and ability in boxing to train others from his garage however with the help and support of many of his friends and family, Mike has been able to take his passion for boxing to new levels.
Mike offers a unique style of high intensity boxing and circuit type training to all age groups and ability that focuses on strength, speed, cardio and core, whether it be to attain a higher level of fitness or compete in Corporate Events. However, his main focus and goal is to develop a youth based programme called ‘Fundamentals’ that uses boxing as the medium in which to engage with our young people.
Fundamental Steps to Success is about engaging our young people from all cultures, race, gender and focusing on core values such as respect, commitment, hard work & honesty to build strong, credible relationships, build self-esteem and confidence and to build resilience in our young people. By teaching and using these values, Mike hopes to change attitudes and bring out an openness and willingness to engage and learn that extends beyond the Gym into the home and classroom. Mike’s purpose as a positive role model, is to provide a safe, fun environment to give young people the skills and strength to be better able to break down social barriers and to become more culturally and socially diverse to prevent further offending and revictimisation through the art of Boxing.
