Can you help us give a place to one more young person on to our community project that is providing young people with the opportunity to channel their energy and frustrations in a more constructive and positive way. Helping to build young people’s physical fitness and mental well being as well as helping to create a stronger community.

We will be holding a 12 Hour Sparring Marathon to raise enough funds to secure a place for 1 young person for 1 year on this unprecedented community project.

The Fight Sports Scholarship Programme in Aston Fields, Bromsgrove is a unique project which provides students with the opportunity to combine academic studies with a full-time MMA, kickboxing or Boxing training schedule, progressing them into four exciting industry pathways: Professional Athlete, University, Coaching and Industry Specific Roles (ie. judge, referee, media etc).

The concept is to help young people focus on the positivity sport and to avoid the pitfalls of peer pressure, crime, gang culture etc.

A young person on the Fight Sports Scholarship Programme will not only be mentored by the experienced coaching staff at Hopwood Fight Centre, but they will also become part of the team environment that is constantly encouraging self-improvement in both educational studies and sporting prowess.

Sporting opportunities for the young people on the programme are exceptional with access to competition worldwide through the World Kickboxing Federation.

All young people on the programme will also take part in community fund-raising events for local charities to become more involved in the local community.

Older members on the programme will have access to Coaching Qualifications through the extensive B.M.A.B.A. training services.

The Fight Sports Scholarship Programme, is a not-for-profit community project which gives coaching, mentorship and guidance to 14 to 19-year-olds (many from lower socio-economic backgrounds) to give them the skills and knowledge to forge a great career in the sport by the time they graduate from the Scholarship Programme.
