dancing through the shadows - a photographic project at High Wycombe Amateur Boxing Club

The mission of the club is to help and educate young people, through boxing and physical fitness training; developing their physical, mental and spiritual capacities so they may grow to full maturity as confident individuals and members of society. The aim of the project is to encourage community cohesion and give the local young people a centre to improve well-being, self-esteem, discipline and self defence and to reduce the number of young people on the street. The images capture the dedication and commitment of the coaches through hours of physical training whilst also capturing the intense concentration and determined spirit pushing through physical exhaustion.

The club has now moved to new premises.
