I did karate upstairs in the gym and played for The Peacock football team. They have done so much for the local youth and i really appreciate what they do.

I just want to say thank you Peacock Gym! The best gym I ever trained at sadly had to move away from the area but the memories stick with me. Wishing you all the best!!

Thank you everyone for watching. We hope you enjoy the film.

Lovely film, people shouldn't underestimate the value of what that gym was to the local community and further afield. I remember once talking to a lad about getting a book out from the library. He told me he couldn't because the library was on the wrong side of the road and he was worried about getting stabbed , yet he walked everday to the gym because he felt safe there. Another bunch of lads who all hated school and never went, all turned up on time everyday,. When i asked them why, whats the difference, they said they felt wanted. If you ask what the peacock was/is, it was a bastion against adversity, being born in a part of town that never got a fair chance, shouldn't never mean you dont count.

I learnt everything I know from here, I've been a member since 95 when I was young, one of the longest active members. Saw all the champs come in to train there, sad that it's been closed down. Always gonna be a part of me.

Absolutely loved every minute of this little video, great work about great people.

People forget how important boxing clubs are to local communities and what they give back. It ain’t just about the boxing 🥊
