Winchester Boxing Club · Unit 7 Barfield Cl, Winchester SO23 9SQ, UK
The first three Awards (Preliminary, Standard and Bronze) are all non-contact and can be used in clubs for new members and any non-specialist facility like community halls or school gyms. Non-contact parts of Awards can be taught by standalone GB boxing tutors, including school teachers, youth workers and development officers, as these cover boxing basics.
The remaining three Awards (Silver, Gold and Platinum) involve technique development in modified sparring and must be coached in a club with a ring and qualified boxing coach. The Platinum Award takes the boxer into a ring with a skills bout, allowing the boxer to demonstrate the skills, fitness and ability they've learnt while completing all six of the GB National Boxing Awards.
STANDARD AWARD

BRONZE AWARD
