Combat sports are popular and have great potential to contribute to social issues. At Baas Sports teaching and training is done in a safe and responsible way, within a good pedagogical climate and where social involvement has an important place.
Baas was able to keep many young people on the right path through training and guidance.
Many, especially children, also gained self-confidence through the training and coaching.

Edwin Baas has been volunteering for the sport for years.
For many years he has been a member of the board of non-profit organizations such as the Curacao Martial Arts Federation CUMAFE (since 2003) and the Curacao Boxing Association CuraBox (since 2009) with which he has organized many activities selflessly. Baas has spent and still spends many hours of free time and energy on director duties and organizing various activities.
Since 2013, Baas teaches yearly all classes of the Divi Divischool, (special education) martial arts for free. And he has also done this a lot at many other schools.

Baas regularly gives workshops free of charge, such as in the photo above for ambulance FKA (Fundashon Kuido di Ambulans di Kòrsou) and CITRO (citizen rescue organization) staff and in the photo below at various schools, like Divi Divi school, Marnix College, Albert Schweitzer and Abel Tasman College.
