Box smart and get fit in LBHF.
The project's aim is to get the community healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually, regardless of age or ability using a trusted and approved system of physical programmes and health advice.
The all round fitness project will consist of a unique training system combined with non contact boxing and kickboxing for physical fitness, healthy eating advice, and mentoring skills to the individual , if needed. The project will help people in the community to become more health conscious by introducing health talks and health expos with free health checks, by local professionals from time to time. The fitness programme has been tested and proven and is backed by a number of testimonials across all walks of life. The physical side of the project will consist of; accredited advanced boxing and kickboxing self defence combinations, pad work, correct punching techniques, correct kicking techniques, interval circuit training routines by a highly experienced instructor with forty years experience in contact sports as an amateur, professional, and now an advanced boxing/kickboxing fitness instructor.
What we'll deliver:
- The fitness programme will give the individual a healthier life style.
- The project will deliver a professional look with safe durable equipment.
- The right equipment is a key to a successful service.
- A more confident individual, young or old.
- The right equipment is a must for a correct health and safety environment.
Why it's a great idea:
I believe the benefits the project will bring will be a tremendous help to the community. Due to the pandemic people have suffered physically and mentally, some have also been abused being looked away for such a long. What better than to go out away from that environment and into a park where they can get fresh air, exercise and train in a green and healthy environment. Although my fitness programme consist of boxing and kickboxing techniques there is no contact between two or even more people. All striking techniques will be on a punch bag, kick pads, focus mitts, etc, relieving the danger of someone getting hurt. It's also a proven fact that hitting a punch bag can relieve stress an anxiety as well as getting you fit. The same fitness programme produced an English and three British semi contact champions.
Steps to get it done:
- I can only see funding as a milestone to buy equipment and a venue. I am well know for what I do in the community.

Health Defence CIC Combatting Ill Health in the Community
Overview
Engagement of young people, particularly adolescent men, is a constant challenge. Young people often disengage from support services provided through schools and youth outreach and, while they may feel part of their peer community, they are less invested in the wider community. Young people can lack plans and aspirations for their futures, are often unaware of opportunities open to them and can be considered too challenging or troublesome by employers. Without effective engagement on neutral terms it is almost impossible to ensure take-up of effective interventions, leading our young people to resorting to less positive activities.
It is proposed that the redevelopment of the available facilities just off King Street Hammersmith incorporates a range of activities targeted at young men, but available also to young women and the wider community. Focussed around a boxing/kickboxing club, physical training, lifestyle (nutrition and healthy living), vocational training courses (construction, in the first instance) and mentoring will be provided.
Through the work, centred around the boxing/kickboxing club, a programme of interventions will be made available, the “deal” being that participation in training, lifestyle and employment related activities for example are rewarded by activities more directly related to the boxing club.
Proposal
Redevelopment of the centre
It is estimated that £30,000 of capital investment would be required to get the current building into good working order. This would then comprise;
- Boxing/kickboxing club training room, with separate treatment room and changing/showering facilities.
- A large kitchen for refreshments, healthy eating and preparation courses.
- Small centre office.
Further funds would allow the further expansion of the facility as a training centre, potentially a more sophisticated kitchen for catering training, and use of the changing facilities for training/education around football, netball or other sporting activities.
