Twin Tigers Boxing and Martial Arts Club on Honiton High Street is making use of technology to keep up with members' training and in touch with each other - from the safety of their homes!

Head coach, Paul Quick told Nub News: "Myself and coaches Matt, Jon and Jasper are helping to boost morale by producing live video feeds of training sessions for children and adults.

"This has been a great way to maintain the momentum of the student's training; keeping active whilst supporting mental health.

"I even arranged for Muay Thai champion, John Wayne Parr, to host a lesson all the way from Australia live on the Zoom app.

"This will be done again in two week's time.

"Twin Tigers have also hosted family quiz nights via the Zoom app to keep the close family network of the club alive.

"This is a very scary time for the UK, and the world as a whole.

"What we are trying to do as a club is nothing in comparison to our NHS frontline staff, key workers, carers working with the elderly and vulnerable and postal staff delivering mail - to mention just a few - but it helps!

"The community spirit within Honiton is just amazing; The Random Kitchen being a fine example of this."

"Twin Tigers will continue to support the community in its own small way," added Paul.
