I think it's a great idea. It keeps us fit as well I go to high school in Australia and we hardly get exercise and skills for self-defense.... no wonder our country has a high population of obese people. So question is "Do you think all ( most) countries should have the same thing going ?

I go to a school in the uk and there is no compulsory boxing.

While Australia is unfortunately a very obese nation, introducing a compulsory boxing program is going a bit too far. Boxing can be a dangerous 'sport' and It may be the battleground for a full out war between a bully and somebody they hate. And not everyone is able to box, it could be againest somebodys ethics for example........... But i do agree that Australia needs to do something about the obese problem. At my school, there is NO Physical Education program at all... and it SUCKS! (sometimes) I miss it at my old school where it had a PE program.... =/

Excellent idea, boxing is a very disciplined artform, and it will not hurt to teach kids how to look after themselves!!!!

I don't think it's a good idea. I think mandatory fitness classes are fantastic, but not a violent sport like boxing. Getting hit in the face should be a risk you choose to take, not one that is forced on you. Otherwise it will just be used as a chance to bully/beat up on the nerdy kids without getting in trouble with the school.
