We offer somewhere safe to go, something fun to do and someone trusted to talk to after school every evening and then we welcome the wider community into our Youth Zone on Saturdays, running themed activities for families with young people of all ages and abilities.

At InPower Academy, we use mixed martial arts (MMA) as our primary tool to engage and inspire young people. MMA is a sport that resonates deeply with youth, offering incredible benefits such as improved confidence, enhanced focus and concentration, stress relief and the ability to maintain a positive mindset.

Founded in 1972, our goal is to provide a supportive and challenging environment for wrestlers of all skill levels to develop their skills, strength and character. At our club, we believe that wrestling is not just a sport, but a discipline that can help individuals to become the best version of themselves. We take inspiration from those that were here before us and who paved the way.
