Introduction

The Erdélyi Godako Boxing Sports Club was established in 2017. Our goal is to train athletes who win Olympic gold medals, stand on the podium at the world’s most prestigious competitions, and bring pride to their homeland as well as to the Hungarian nation.

Our objective remains unchanged, and we believe we are on the right path toward achieving it. We started working with children aged 10–12, and several of them have already won numerous national championship medals.

We participate simultaneously in both the Romanian and Hungarian competition systems. In Hungary, we compete under the colors of Felcsút SK.

Árpád Huszár, President of the Erdélyi Godako Boxing Sports Club:

“Medals and sporting glory are wonderful things, but they are not the most important. Not everyone who puts on boxing gloves here will become an Olympic champion—this is impossible. However, we work so that through sport and the experiences gained here, we raise adults who will stand their ground in life with honor and integrity, and become valuable members of our community and nation.”

The Erdélyi Godako Boxing Sports Club is based in Gheorgheni, where our modern sports facility—the home of elite training—is located. Our branches operate in Târgu Secuiesc and Valea Rece, working with numerous athletes under the leadership of Árpád Huszár..

From the very beginning, we have worked together with the Saint Francis Foundation led by Brother Csaba Böjte. Boxing training takes place in several children’s homes, and we already have multiple national champions who started here. For them, boxing has taught the importance of persistent, conscious work, provided a sense of achievement, and in the long term contributes to securing their future.

Csaba Böjte, Honorary President of the Erdélyi Godako Boxing Sports Club:

Our body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit! Whoever respects and loves God takes care of the temple entrusted to them, sanctifies it through an active life, and maintains it through continuous movement and sport. Let us do everything we can so that the temple of our body does not become lazy, overweight, and falling apart, but instead stands firm like a strong, healthy, and lean cathedral, proclaiming for many years the greatness, strength, and power of our Creator! In our atoms, particles move at nearly the speed of light—life itself is movement! Growth and development are ensured by learning, training, and continuous intellectual, spiritual, and physical effort, which must be part of our daily lives!

With gratitude and love, I thank Árpád Huszár and every member of the Erdélyi Godako Boxing Sports Club for supporting the children taken in by the Saint Francis Foundation and, through hard and persistent work, helping them reach the top step of the podium.

Thank you for helping boys and girls understand that they have the right to fight for their goals and dreams, by respecting the rules—even in the ring—through fair competition, to reap the rewards of their hard work and lift the championship trophy they deserve based on their knowledge, physical condition, and perseverance.

Thank you for preparing our youth to take on the daily struggles of life and to face them successfully.
