Bracebridge Boxingclub

Out again lastnight with the crazy bunch 😂

This time it was over to see Dean & James over at Ashfield School Of Boxing 🥊

Rowan was up first and again proved that in the ring is where he belongs. Great rounds of competitive sparring 🥊

Next was Ellie who had 5 rounds of very evenly matched sparring against a strong counter puncher 🥊

Finn was up next and the last two days out sparring he's showed just why he's so highly rated. Again a great dance partner and it was a pleasure to be ringside.

Then came Archie against Jenson. They know each other very well, have boxed 4 times, had numerous rounds of hard competitive sparring. As Archie said "it's always tough rounds with Jenson". Again great to watch 2 of the best in 6 hard fought rounds 🥊🥊

Great night everyone and as always you did yourselves, Bracebridge and coach proud. Lots to study and work on as always but a very well done to everyone.

Thanks for hosting Dean & James and see you at Bracebridge soon 🥊

Wednesday evening trip over to our friends at Touch Gloves Grantham.

Great learning rounds for Finn & Ellie 🥊

Thank you and see you soon 🥊

Just me and the boy today on the hills. First one back after the holidays and felt good.

To all boxers skipping sessions and thinking sparring alone will get you fighting fit… 🤔😜

Fitness should mainly be built through running—particularly sprints for amateur boxing—along with circuits, bag work, pads and boxing-specific drills.

Remember: get fit to spar—don’t spar to get fit! 🥊

Tricky Ricky Wilders’ Sunday session is tomorrow at 9am. It’ll be another great Bracebridge session—see you there! 🥊

Have a great weekend.

To add..

Ricky's Sunday session completed.

I counted 20 people so great turnout. Another tough session in the bag . Great way to end a busy week and would fully recommend for all fitness levels and like all the Bracebridge sessions, it's as hard as you make it 🥊

Get yourselves down and improve fitness, confidence and make new friends.

Plenty of sessions at only £2. The only time you'll find the cheapest.... is actually the best 😜🥊

Thank you Wayne from Workout Gym Hull for bringing Peaches over for 6 great competitive rounds with Ellie 🥊🥊

Best of luck in your upcoming bout and always great to catchup, hopefully see you soon 🥊

I've taken this post from another club. I've noticed people turning up in sliders and even socks to train on the circuits.

The last thing we want to do at Bracebridge is turn people away.

🥊 TRAINING FOOTWEAR REMINDER 👟

A quick reminder to all members: Crocs are NOT appropriate footwear for boxing training.

Crocs are not trainers and do not provide the support, stability or secure fit needed when boxing, doing footwork, circuits or other exercises.

For your own safety, and the safety of others, please wear suitable trainers or boxing boots when taking part in sessions.

If you arrive in Crocs or other unsuitable footwear, you may not be able to take part in the session.

Come ready to train. 🥊

Open as normal,5pm session, confidence, fitness,new friends, a great introduction to the gym 🥊 everyone welcome

Great day out yesterday with three of our boxers at the Golden Gloves show in Newark. What a fantastic event in the sunshine! ☀️🥊

First up was Ellie, who was matched against a tough opponent with a little more experience. Ellie boxed brilliantly from start to finish and came away with a well-deserved split decision victory. A great performance.

Next was Lewis, making his return after around three years out of the ring. After a promising start, things didn't quite go our way and he was caught by a big overhand right, bringing the contest to an end. It wasn't the result we wanted, but we're proud of him for stepping back through the ropes, and we're sure we'll be seeing Lewis back in action again soon.

Finally, Finn returned after an 18-month lay-off. He looked full of confidence and boxed a very good opponent, but his speed and accuracy proved too much, earning him a convincing unanimous decision win.

It was fantastic to see both Lewis and Finn back where they belong. They've both been missed around the club.

This is a big season ahead for Finn as it's his final year as an amateur, so we're hoping to keep him very busy. And there could even be another comeback on the cards this season… watch this space! 👀

A huge thank you to Johnny Clay for his support throughout the day, and to Mark Richards for stepping in as second. As always, it's a pleasure to learn from their experience and have them in our corner.

Finally, a massive thank you to Esham Pickering for inviting us onto another excellent show.

Well done to all three boxers. Onwards and upwards! 🥊💙

A big thank you to Charlie from Wellingborough ABC for making the trip over from Northampton on such a beautiful summer’s evening.

Illyass enjoyed some excellent, respectful learning rounds with Ashton, while Leighton and Archie put in some hard rounds. Best of luck Leighton at the England camp 🥊

There’s still plenty to work on and tidy up, but that’s all part of the process. Another valuable box ticked on young Illyass’ journey with Bracebridge ABC.

We still have our trip to Sheffield to look forward to after it was postponed earlier. Soon as we get the holidays out the way , we’ll also be welcoming a club over from Hull for another great evening of boxing.

Thank you again to Wellingborough ABC for your time, support and sportsmanship. 🥊
