I started training in martial arts at the age of 18 and ultimately, for many years, taught karate at a local club.
After karate, I trained in various other combat sports. I then decided to try boxing and, in 2008, joined South Wye, qualifying as a coach in 2016. I am also a trustee of the charity which runs the Hinton Community Centre.
It is great to be part of the South Wye club and its volunteer coaching team. The team is a closely knit group of individuals which bring their own experiences and strengths to each session with which they are involved.
Since 2008, I have seen the club go from strength to strength and I am particularly proud of everything it is able to do for the local community.
