GEORGE THE CLINIC’S VERY OWN OLYMPIAN

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Sporting success seems to follow George, so it’s fitting that he is the latest coach to be added to an already esteemed list.  Born in Athens, Greece he represented his country in Athletics at the Sydney Olympics and within a year of joining The Boxing Clinic he became the heavyweight champion.

But success does not come without a little effort, a point that George will be hammering home in his classes (more…)

April 18th D Day – “The Beginning”

A near capacity crowd at the HMV Kentish Town Forum witnessed its first ever night of MMA in Central London.  News of Volcanic disruptions had filtered through on Saturday but as the first fighters made their way to the cage, the crowd erupted and didn’t lay dormant until the very end of the very last fight.  Here’s what happened… (more…)

VOLCANIC DISRUPTIONS!

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

This ain’t just a headline – it’s fact.  We’re 24 hours away from “The Beginning” and two of our fighters are stuck in the Republic of Ireland due to the Volcanic cloud hovering over Blighty.

But as the saying goes…”the show must go on”.  Matt Wise, in fighting fit form will square up to Clinic Middle Weight Champion Dan Hine, who is stepping up with just 24 hours (more…)

11 days to go until “The Beginning”

Nicole and Lucy are hot!   Annoyingly they’re also smart, dare I say it….nice and they frickin’ look good in their underwear.

Never has there been so much debate on our facebook page as when their pix were posted.  Sadly judged by some before we’ve even had a chance to get to know them….now people, that’s not fair.  So without further a do let’s set the record straight and get to know our girls.  Because that’s who they are, they’re OUR ring girls, appearing at all of our shows.

18 days to go until “The Beginning”.

A good coach will take care of his fighters – it’s not just about training them to physical and technical perfection – it’s a about taking proper care of them too. According to Paul, “This close to a fight it all starts to get psychological, my aim is to keep the guys calm and their head’s clear”. This means helping ensure they don’t (more…)
