This is a great documentary, highlighting the risks of white collar boxing, and the differences between unlicensed and untrained (8 weeks is not enough time to train to throw or defend well!) Fights, compared to amateur and/or professional bouts 🥊

Something I have made - on Radio 4 this afternoon or catch up at anytime -

@richardbutchins I've just listened to this - thank you for raising awareness. As an amateur kickboxer, I think it's important more people acknowledge the risks of unlicensed fighting. I can't imagine competing after 8 weeks, that is definitely not enough time to learn to defend!!

Over the weekend I ran a kickboxing session, as part of a 24 hour fundraising event, with #TeamJed to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy and prove that #musclesmatter
Thank you @BuzzGym for providing the venue, in Cannon Street, London 🥊

Over £18,000 raised so far!

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

@The_RE_LE @BuzzGym Thank you, it was an excellent event and I'm so pleased Jed raised so much and hopeful the research will find a cure soon!

@BrendonChhor I became a champion when I walked out to
The Lion King - I just can't wait to be king 😁🏆🥊

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

@BrendonChhor Cake! 😍

@rachelmoss_ @MetroUK_Life Finding a brand of clothing that help you feel confident!

For me, that's @jluxefit

I've been kickboxing nearly 12 years, and focused on performance... but all through my fighting career, I wasn't happy with my body!

I'm learning acceptance and improving my self-esteem!

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

A fun fitness session today, enjoying getting active, and being outdoors, with @sportsfs 💥🥊

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

Thank you Zoe from @BeckfootHeaton for arranging my visit to work with 3 schools in the @BeckfootTrust this week, @BeckfootOakbank and @_primary_head at Beckfoot Allerton 🥊

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

The FUN and the FEAR

Inspiring future champions, 'up north' (I love on the South East Coast of England!)

My road trip began today, with 1,000 secondary students... 😍

'Kickboxing Champion inspires BIG Dreams in Bradford' 🥊

Today I worked at Beckfoot Oakbank, tomorrow I'm at Beckfoot Allerton, and on Friday @BeckfootHeaton

I think it could make a good news story 😊

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

Admin day, as my school session was cancelled due to #teacherstrikes

I needed the time to catch up anyway!

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

@DymchurchSchool @teamsportstrust @OCMATtrust This looks like so much FUN!

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

@PrimaryRocks1 I've just discovered #primaryrocks - I'm tempted to put a reminder in my calendar... the problem is, I attend a kickboxing class 7.30-9pm Monday evening 🥊🙈

P.s I'm learning about Twitter and how it all works!

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

@Michael_Churm @VictoriaRoadPS @sportsfs 'Always do your best' is such an important message!

[Jess Roper @FightingFitJess]

@j444rvg23 It's great to read about another @sportsfs athlete, running these incredible sessions, and inspiring future champions!! 🥊
