This man is an Anglican priest but with a difference. You would not want to offend him put it that way. His online ministry helps to serve the community of street youth homeless/drug-addicted/criminal in a very unique way - by teaching them how to fight for starters.
At the end of this article I will leave you with Father Dave's Top 10 of why we need to teach our youngsters boxing in order to make them less violent...
What does it conjur in your mind when you think Anglican priest? Maybe a religious person? An old man pontificating whilst shrouded by church incense? Or perhaps a born-again Christian jumping about singing 'Praise the Lord on high' and speaking in tongues amidst wails and shrieks of people being moved by the Spirit 'Toronto blessing style.'
Let me tell you that though he wears a dog-collar this man is no weakling. Father dave Smith is the minister of Holy Trinity Dulwich Hill in Sydney, Australia. From his own bio:
"My mother died while I was still 16. It was the same day that I bought my first leather jacket. By this stage I'd developed a rather passionate attraction to the 'Sex Pistols' and to the nihilism of the British Punk scene. With my leather jacket and metal studs though I modelled my persona more on Dee Dee Ramone of the American punk group 'The Ramones'."
We often neglect our spirituality. You can sign up for Father Dave's free affiliates only newsletter here A WARRIOR FORUM EXCLUSIVE:

Here's what some others have been saying about Father Dave, friends:
"He's as comfortable punching as he is preaching - which is just as well for the hundreds of teenagers this fighting father figure has saved from a life on the streets."
Greg McLean (Aussie Post)
"This nuggety minister has seen life from both sides of the tracks."
Steve Lacey (Sydney Morning Herald)
"Dave is a man of wonderful vision and never misses an opportunity to help others where he can ... I count myself fortunate to know him personally and to have him as a driving force in my Council area."
Barry Cotter (Mayor of Marrickville)
"I go to the man. I go to The Man's man. I go to the street, to the edge of the breakdown. I go to a man of God who wouid rather see kids throwing punches than punching heroin into their veins. Anglican priest Father Dave Smith"
Jeff Wells (Daily Telegraph)
"Father Dave is gifted in providing the young with a sense of purpose."
Councillor Dimitrios Thanos (Marrickville Council)
"fists of steel, a kick like a mule, the head of a fox and a heart of gold"
Ross Willis (Western Suburbs Courier)
Father Dave also has two digital products available. One, 'Sex, the Ring and the Eucharist' was in the Amazon Top 500 on the day of release. I urge you to check these out. The second is an inspirational original from the forefather's of America. This is just what our spirit's need. Let Father Dave welcome you. You can even watch him in the ring if you wish. Hee are the links to Father Dave's webpages:

At the beginning I promised you Father Dave's Top 10 reasons for teaching our youngsters boxing. Here they are:
When young people are in a disciplined training routine they have no time to cause trouble
Even when they have the time, they are too tired to cause trouble after a solid night's training
Young people learn to work happily in a structured environment which has positive effects at school
In the boxing gym they learn to accept authority
Through competitive fighting, young people learn to set goals for their lives
Through developing their physical capabilities young people develop greater self-esteem
The training routine teaches them self-discipline
Through learning to control their response when they are hit, young people develop self-control
Boxing training is very cathartic for persons carrying a lot of emotional baggage or anger
When a young person joins a gym they join a new peer group of persons not involved in drugs or criminal activities
