The MMA trainer helping victims of bullying
Ricky was bullied as a teenager, and now teaches mixed martial arts. But the work he is most passionate about is helping other victims of bullying rediscover their confidence through self-defence and coaching. One person who has benefitted from Ricky’s support is 18-year-old Harrison, who was physically bullied for three years - until he met Ricky.
If you've been affected by bullying, these organisations may be able to help.Share this:
