A BRITISH international kickboxer is hoping to coach the next generation of stars after opening his own school in Redditch.

Adam Laurence is preparing to fight for Britain in the World Championships in Italy in July and is already putting youngsters through their paces at the Freestyle Kickboxing Association school on the Park Farm Industrial Estate.

The former British and Irish Open Champion is offering talented youngsters the chance to compete for the new club at TS Kingfisher, Unit 3, Uppercrossgate Road.

The UK Open Champion has developed his own style from Kung-Fu, Aikido, Sakado and Kickboxing over the past 15 years and has also won European titles.

Anyone interested in joining the club can call Roy Laurence on 450926.
