Growing up I started boxing at the Manchester Police Athletic League. After years of being away from it, I realized that this is where my passion truly lies. The past five years I found my love for boxing again and found that boxing has helped me overcome my shyness, helped me to gain confidence in myself and improved overall fitness.

The past five years I found my love for boxing again and found that boxing has helped me overcome my shyness, helped me to gain confidence in myself and improved overall fitness. My hope as a trainer is to be able to give that to someone else.

Sean was a super fan of martial arts at a young age. He dipped his toe into karate as a young boy, and then into Taekwondo as a teen. Sean started boxing 5 years ago as a young adult, and became obsessed over perfecting his technique. These days Sean has developed a keen eye for details, and has become a respectable coach. He finds great pleasure in helping others understand the basics and how to move. It's one thing to hear instructions and repeat them, and a whole other level to understand them and embed them into your nervous system.
