"The girls really enjoyed the session, as did the students who took part last year. We'd love to make this an annual event for our Year 12 girls - The sessions have the potential to scare the students and make them feel uncomfortable however, they were delivered so effectively that all the girls felt comfortable getting involved with the activities and answering questions. As trainers, you are all great with the students and they responded really well as a result. It's sad that there's a need to deliver such a programme but I know that both the students and the school are so grateful that you're able to".

Channelling positive energy
"Fighting chance was an initiative where we identified underprivileged youths from the Portsmouth area and offered them positive role modelling and channelling their energy in the right manner through Martial Arts training. This bridged the gap and allowed the youths to open up to the trainers, one of whom was a police officer who educated them about law and consequences of their actions, and the other a specialist in therapy for children experiencing problems. The outcome was astounding. One of the youths went on to train at a local MMA gym and turn his life around".
