West Bank Kickboxing Club

Val didn’t start kickboxing until later in life. Now she’s approaching 60 and she’s one of the fittest people in that gym, full stop.

What started as something new turned into a full-blown love affair with kickboxing and strength. Kickboxing first under China Coyle at West Bank kickboxing club then the gym under Savage Strength | Derry Gym became part of her, day in day out — no shortcuts, no days off, just work.

Turning 60 is never going to slow her down. If anything it’s the milestone that proves the point: age is not the ceiling people think it is.

This shoot was about showcasing just that. Hard-earned, well deserved, and captured properly.

Started later. Never stopped. There’s only one Val

Wednesday nights sparring and kickboxing classes, getting the rounds in and straight on to drills and pad work. Great sessions.

Sparring sessions and classes from the last week or so from West bank kickboxing club.

Very late post (as usual). Last weekend at the Sunday sparring session we had the World Kickboxing Organization WAKO Ireland squad at West Bank for an open mat sparring. Big thank you to all who attended and we look forward to returning the visit. Shout out to Bodyshots Kickboxing coach Rab Cassels for organising the visit and to coach Tommy ┃Fitness photographer ┃videographer and Michael Coyle for overseeing the spar.

Great rounds put in by all and we look forward to seeing you again. 👊💪🥊
