🥊 A Huge Thank You to the Clive Richards Foundation 🥊 We are incredibly grateful to the Clive Richards Foundation for their generous support, which has enabled us to make a significant investment in Leominster Police Boxing Academy.
Thanks to this funding we’ve been able to purchase new gloves, coaching equipment, free-standing bags, kick shields, resistance bands, medicine balls, protective equipment and storage solutions, helping us continue to provide the very best environment for our members.
This equipment will benefit children, young people and adults through our weekly classes, school sessions and community activities for many years to come.
Thank you for believing in our club and investing in opportunities for our local community. 🥊

🍦 Sometimes the best feedback isn’t a certificate… it’s an ice cream! 😄
Today I had the pleasure of delivering three staff wellbeing sessions at Hereford, Ludlow & North Shropshire College.
We explored practical self-defence, kickboxing pad work and Tai Chi, showing how martial arts can build confidence, improve wellbeing and reduce stress—regardless of age or experience.
The energy, enthusiasm and willingness of everyone taking part made it a fantastic day. Watching people challenge themselves, have a laugh and leave with a smile is exactly why I love what I do.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and to the college for making me feel so welcome.
Now… after all that hard work, I think I’d earned the ice cream! 🍦😂

More than just a T-shirt. 🥊
Confidence.
Belonging.
Team spirit.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, our young members now have fantastic new training shirts to wear with pride.
Supporting young people isn’t just about sport — it’s about giving them something to belong to.

The details make the difference.
Tonight’s focus was the skip-in side kick — a technique widely used in semi-contact competition to close distance quickly, score cleanly and control the fight.
Developing speed, timing and accuracy takes repetition, patience and good coaching. It’s great to see the students becoming more confident every week.

🥊 BUILDING STRONGER MINDS THROUGH BOXING 🥊
I’ve been proud to work alongside West Mercia Police and local schools, delivering positive boxing and fitness sessions to young people across Herefordshire.
What started as a small partnership has now engaged around 1,500 students, helping children develop:
✅ Confidence
✅ Discipline
✅ Respect
✅ Teamwork
✅ Positive relationships with local police officers
These sessions are about far more than boxing. They provide an opportunity for children to learn new skills, improve self-belief, stay active and engage with positive role models in a safe and supportive environment.
Recent feedback from local schools includes:
⭐ “All of the children were engaged throughout and thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills.”
⭐ “A highly enjoyable session that left the children excited and eager for more.”
⭐ “The children showed great enthusiasm, energy and willingness to get involved in every activity.”
⭐ “Glenn was excellent at making sure everyone felt included and able to take part.”
Thank you to the schools, teachers, police officers and most importantly the children who continue to make these sessions such a success.
Together we’re helping build stronger, healthier and more confident young people.
