New Boxing Club Is A Hit.
A new boxing club for youngsters in a Selby village has
won backing from parish and district councils. The club run by 31 year
old Mickey Bradshaw from Sherburn in Elmet, has been up and running for
a few months and is proving very popular. Mickey, a former soldier started
the club after reading on local websites that the teenagers have nothing
to do on an evening. "Sherburn & South Milford are small villages
and there's not alot for the kids to do" he said. " young kids
are hanging around the streets getting up to no good annoying residents
and businesses" Mickey started uk fighting arts association a few
years ago and its officially recognised by black belt international and
british national martial arts association. Mickey has over 25 years experience
in various martial arts and was a keen amateur boxer as well as boxing
while he served in the parachute regiment for 10 years,
The club is open to under 18's every tuesday night from 18:30-19:30 costing
£3.00 at South Milford WI hall High Street South Milford.
"we have the support of the local councils and police, what we would
like is for support from local businesses, whether its printing off our
syllabus's for the kids or donating equipment"
says mickey. "if we can achieve this then we can do the kids classes
for free and hopefully increase to 2 nights a week". Mickey has already
spent over £600 on equipment from his own pocket and is doing the
classes to benefit the kids and give them something active to do, obesity
is a big problem in children these days and boxing can help with weight
loss along with a controlled diet as well as teaching new life skills,
discipline, stamina, balance, awareness & fitness. Award based training
certifying student of the month, dedication. determination and many more.
Mickey also runs a Kae-bo class for women on a Tuesday night after the
boxing from 20:00-21:00 at a cost of £4.00 that feeds back into
the boxing club. For further information visit www.ukfaa.com
