Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service
Northumberland Fire and Rescue Boxing Academy.
Welcome to our Boxing Academy
The Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service boxing academy is a project run by local firefighters in their own time. The academy is open to people of all ages from 10 years old and upwards. Come along to join a class – the first session is free.
Why should I join the boxing academy?
Your strength comes from your self-esteem. One of the primary benefits of boxing is that it is a sport which makes you feel empowered. The sport allows you to be aware of your positive qualities and abilities, as well as recognising your faults, mistakes, and shortcomings.
When boxing, you learn to understand the need to change things and manoeuvre through difficult fighting situations without becoming defensive. These skills will also help you in your everyday life, your relationships, and your career.
Being self-assured does not mean being cocky, as boxing can be a very humbling experience. The attributes of a good boxer mirror many of the personal attributes of a good firefighter.
Both require courage, discipline, dedication, focus, and respect for others.
How to join in the fun...
Come along to West Hartford Community Fire Station and join one of our classes. No matter what your ability, there is a class suitable for you. The first session is free so you have absolutely nothing to lose, but a great deal to gain!​
