🥊 GRIT – MORE THAN JUST TALKING 🥊

What a night at Crown Kickboxing - Swadlincote

We started off with circuits, which was enough to finish most of us off 😂 then moved onto the bags before getting in the ring and having a go at some light sparring.

It was hard work, exhausting and definitely pushed a few of us outside our comfort zone, but I think that’s exactly what we needed.

There was plenty of sweating, plenty of laughs and, as always with GRIT, plenty of support for each other.

A massive thank you to Craig Harrison and everyone at Crown Kickboxing for putting the session on and making us feel so welcome, and to Abbey Wright from Phil’s Legacy for coming along and being part of the night. ❤️

Afterwards we sat around, as we do at GRIT, and talked. Abbey shared her story with us, and it was a powerful reminder of why these moments together matter so much.

This is what GRIT is all about. It doesn’t always have to be sitting around a table talking. Sometimes getting out, doing something together and having a laugh is exactly what gets people talking naturally.

No pressure. No judgement. Just men getting together, supporting each other and trying something different.

Gather • Reflect • Improve • Talk

Silence isn’t strength.

🥊 GRIT – SOMETHING DIFFERENT TOMORROW! 👊

A quick reminder that tomorrow we’re swapping our usual GRIT session for something a little different.

We’re heading over to Phil’s Legacy Boxing Circuit for Men’s Mental Health at Crown Kickboxing.

📅 Wednesday 12th August
⏰ 7pm–9pm
📍 Crown Kickboxing, Swadlincote

🥊 7–8pm – Boxing circuit
☕ 8–9pm – Cuppa & a chat

You don’t have to be fit, you don’t have to know how to box, and you don’t even have to take part.

Just turning up matters.

Different setting. Same mission.

Talk. Support. Look out for each other.
NO MAN LEFT BEHIND. 🤝

Come down and represent GRIT with us. 💪

NEXT GRIT SESSION – SOMETHING DIFFERENT 👊

This time we’re changing things up.

Instead of our usual GRIT session at Linton, we’re heading out together to support another fantastic local men’s mental health initiative Phil’s Legacy Boxing Circuit.

🥊 Wednesday 12th August
🕖 7:00pm – 9:00pm
📍 Crown kickboxing, 13 West Street, Swadlincote, DE11 9DG

Don’t worry if you’ve never boxed before, all abilities are welcome, and if you’d rather just come along for the brew and chat afterwards, that’s absolutely fine too.

At GRIT, we believe that supporting each other goes beyond our own four walls. This is a chance to meet other men, build new connections, and show that we’re all on the same team when it comes to men’s mental health.

Let’s turn up together and show what “No Man Left Behind” really means.

Drop a 👊 below if you’re joining us.

🥊 BOXING CIRCUIT FOR MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH 💙

Starting Wednesday 12th August at Crown Kickboxing

🕖 7–8pm – Boxing Circuit (all abilities welcome)
☕ 8–9pm – Cuppa Tea & A Chat

The OGS are making a comeback Craig Harrison 😂💪🏻 (we are not as young as we are on this pic btw) 😂😂

Phil’s Legacy was created in memory of my dad, Phil Wright, who sadly lost his life to su***de. After losing him, I made a promise that his story would not end with his death. Phil’s Legacy is about turning heartbreak into hope by creating safe spaces where people feel able to talk, reach out, and know they’re never alone.

This evening isn’t just about boxing, it’s about bringing people together, supporting one another, and breaking the stigma around mental health!!!

Whether you want to train, have a brew, or simply be around others who understand, you’ll be welcomed.

If one conversation gives someone hope, encourages them to ask for help, or reminds them they matter, then we’re making a difference. That’s what Phil’s Legacy is all about.

📍 13 West St, Swadlincote, DE11 9DG

💙 In memory of my dad, Phil Wright.
💛 Together, we can break the silence.

This is absolutely beautiful and so true ❤️

Behind every su***de is a life that mattered.

This is for my Dad.💌🪽

Join us for a relaxed evening of honest conversation, support and brotherhood.

📍 Linton Brick Rooms
📅 Wednesday 29th July
🕖 7:00pm – 9:00pm

No judgement. No pressure. Just real conversations.

No man left behind.
