John Jo

Tutor

John’s perfectly suited to be running our fitness, outward bound & construction courses as well as our Boxing Academy. He fought his way to a GOLD MEDAL for Boxing in the Commonwealth Games, then went on to be British and Commonwealth Champion (both as an amateur and professional) and to win the Lonsdale Belt outright. After his boxing career John Jo trained as a joiner and ran his own double glazing company. He still keeps himself fit and often bikes into work all the way from Tickhill!
