Boxing Awards


Mickey's Boxing Academy held it's first ABA Awards day on Tuesday 25th August. Eight of the gyms Junior members class attended a full day of boxing delivered by Coaches Kerry Tomlinson and Adam Rose, to earn their Preliminary Medal and Certificate. The members where taken through all the basic punches and defences, working on the bags and in the ring and where continually assessed through out the day. All the young lads had to achieve over 55 marks in their assessment to pass however the standard was excellent with all achieving more than 70 marks and above. Coach Kerry Tomlinson said' it was an excellent day, all the young lads had a great time and picked up all the basics really quickly and I was really impressed with the final assessment results, well done lads.'This is the first step out of six levels which get progressively harder as you work through them. All were raring to start practising for their next award which will hopefully take place after the club show.
