We help young people to be strong for life
What started as a small boxing gym has become a social enterprise changing lives through boxing, fitness, and education.
We opened Training Cave as a place for people to train, grow, and belong
What began as a few local classes has grown into a community of hundreds of members and a competitive Boxing Academy. For us, it's never just been about fitness — it's about confidence, resilience, and belonging.
Soon, schools started calling. Teachers needed support for students who were disengaged or at risk of being excluded
We built accredited programmes in boxing, PE, sports leadership, and wellbeing — courses that give students qualifications, confidence, and real pathways into further education or work. Today, our classrooms are just as important as our gym floor.
Word spread beyond the classroom. Councils, police, and charities asked us to meet young people where they are
Not every young person walks through a school gate or gym door. So we took the gloves to them — pop-up sessions in local parks, youth justice referrals, holiday programmes. Building safer, stronger communities across Kirklees.
