Leith Braiden with some of his trophies
A Leith out of Hamiltons book
Leith Braiden, North Belfast's answer to Gary Hamilton, says he wants to be a champion and the smart money says, that if he keeps at it, he will be. The Ten year old has already massed 14 medals and numerous trophies at the monthly ProKick competition. The credit also belongs to his backroom staff, his mum Carol Braiden travels across town through rush hour traffic to make sure her darling little son Leith makes his classes twice a week.

I wish i had started kickboxing when i was younger like leith here, and its great that kids have interest in such a sport.
I think the younger generation need to be helped as much as possible with the greatest encouragement to show them what they can acheive. Leith i am sure will be a name many will get to know in the future of kick boxing.
Well done to mum for her never faltering dedication and at least now we know who the mad motorist is weaving through the Belfast streets to get to prokick..
Well done and keep it going.
Truth - Discipline - Respect
