It’s everyone’s favourite time… 🥁🥁🥁
Wifey takeover muahaha! 😈
(don’t panic…I’m not on the hunt for raffle prizes (well, not just yet anyway!…👀😂))
As always homies, there’s a fair whack going on behind the scenes and here’s a little nugget of that for you ❤️🥊
A few weeks ago we entered the Sedgemoor FM Growth Grant competition and we’re incredibly proud to say that The School of HardKnox has made it through to the semi-finals! 🎉 (thank you Benny Boy for your work on this!)
As part of the process, people were invited to share their experiences of HardKnox and honestly… we have been completely blown away, ya bunch of cuties! 🥰
Over the last few days we’ve sat reading your comments, stories and memories and there have definitely been a few tear-to-eyeball moments, let me tell you! 🥺
When Bobby first started coaching (back when dinosaurs roamed the land…) the goal was never just to create a boxing gym. It genuinely was to build a place where people felt welcome, supported and valued regardless of age, ability or background… andddd obviously turn out some incredibly skilled fighters too, of course!! 😉🥊❤️
Anyway, I digress…
Reading comments from members who have found confidence, massively improved their mental health, made lifelong friendships, learned discipline & respect has reminded us exactly why we do what we do 😎
To every member, parent, supporter, volunteer, coach and friend who took the time to comment - a serious thank you, ya legends ❤️
It’ll keep me off Bob’s back about the absolute shift he puts in…for the next couple of weeks or so… maybe 👀😂
Whatever happens next in the competition, these messages are already a reminder that HardKnox is so much more than “just a boxing gym”… 🥊❤️
Anyway, take a little peak at some of these beauties!!
(I have redacted profile pics & names cos I’m just a respectful gyal like that)
Also this isn’t all of them! If you want to check out more please head to Sedgemoor FM 🥰
Up the Knox baby!! 🙌
All my love
The ever doting, Mrs J xx
