It’s a Tuesday night, and the sound of shuffling feet can be heard outside Eli Wyse’s office at Force Boxing and Fitness in Snuneymuxw homelands.
Every three minutes, a buzzer rings out, signalling the youth to move on to their next exercise, or take a break. The sound of gloves on punching bags creates a rhythmic thudding, offset by the high-pitched snapping of skipping ropes on the gym floor.
Led by head coach Wyse, Team Trouble is a boxing club that he created as a safe space for Indigenous Youth to practice the sport. The club has become a second home for young people from local Coast Salish nations since it began at the end of 2020. He said Kw’umut Lelum suggested to him he should just run a class. “I didn’t see that coming. I had no intention of teaching. It’s just what the Youth wanted at the time.”
