In a small pocket of Wimbledon, a little gym attached to Joseph Hood primary school, a boxing and kickboxing club is making a profound impact on its trainees.
Regardless of whether you are a beginner or have had vast amounts of training in the sports, the club welcomes anybody of any age to work towards their personal goals.
One trainee, Poppy, who has used boxing explained that the club has provided a gateway to overcome her past internal struggles.
She said: “After lockdown I have struggled with my mental and physical health, I couldn’t do sport for a while.
“When I could go back to sport all I wanted to do was boxing – it’s really helped me.”
The trainees attend weekly sessions which combine a variety of sparring and fitness drills to maintain a standard of self-discipline.
