About Poetry with Punch

We work on improving the literacy skills of young people through boxercise, creative writing and other forms of art.

What we do is engage their body and mind as one entity instead of two separate units.

Poetry with Punch does this to entice and inspire so that its participants can gain confidence, self worth and break stereotypes which then gives them the capacity to work towards their sporting AND academic goals.

I've had a productive day today first delivering an @AQAEnglish revision workshop with Year 11 @thersaacademy in preparation for their poetry exam 📝 I then headed over to @edgbaston cricket ground to perform and give a talk at the @cobspruoutreach conference where I got to see the teacher who first encouraged me to get into poetry - Sue Barnes 😊 Now I'm off to the @warley_a.b.c club show to support the next generation of champions coming through 👊 Tomorrow I'll be performing at @B_villeBookFest @bcsbirmingham if you're looking for something to do with your nipper 📚 #PoetWithPunch #English #exams #revision #power #conflict #school #freelancer #teacherlife #teachergoals #poets #poetry #bournville #bookfest #kids #inspiration #poetsofinstagram #book #festival #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #art #artistsofinstagram #hardwork #boxing #poet #wordporn #learning #children #teen

So the referee's scoring has prevented me from becoming the Midlands area flyweight champion 😔 I understand that boxing is subjective and I can accept that people from my opponents camp feel that he nicked it in the same way that my team feel I won but what I can't accept is that after winning the first round and knocking him down in the second, the referee then failed to score a single round in my favour for the remainder of the fight which is absolutely shocking 😵 My opponent rallied well for a few rounds after the knockdown and my performance dipped before I picked up the pace heading into the second half of the fight and started to be the boss in there with a couple of the rounds being very dominant in my favour to everyone except the ref 🙈 There has been plenty of times over the years when I've put my hands up and said on the night I wasn't good enough but there's been twice as many times where I've been robbed or the close decision hasn't gone in my favour and I've done nothing but take it like a good sport but this one takes the piss. A member of my opponents team apologised to me for not getting the win, some of his closest people had it even and respected pros and ex pros watching online had me winning 👐 Well done to my opponent for being the other half in a fight of the year candidate and I wish him and his team well for the future. As for me? I'd love to move down to light flyweight and get a title shot there but the division doesn't exist in Britain, only internationally and after receiving an L it feels like a right mission for me to be able to do that. We'll see 👀 A massive thank you to my coach @Spencermccracke who whipped me into incredible shape, had me make weight like a true professional and really improve me as a boxer as well as the Matclan that provided an amazing atmosphere 👊 Want some advice, kids? Work hard at school and stay away from this boxing shit! 😂 #PoetWithPunch #gutted #heartbroken #fuming #angry #bigstatus #alert #lol #smile
