Barry Hughes brings a lifetime of boxing knowledge and multi-disciplinary experience to the Limitless Martial Arts coaching team. Having started boxing at the age of 12, Barry developed his foundations through years of consistent training and competitive experience in his youth. His early exposure to the sport shaped his understanding of footwork, discipline, timing, and the mental resilience required both inside and outside the ring.

Alongside boxing, Barry has trained in a wide range of combat disciplines—Taekwondo, Muay Thai, kickboxing, grappling, and Wing Chun. This breadth of experience has shaped him into a highly adaptable coach with a unique insight into striking from multiple perspectives. His coaching style blends traditional boxing fundamentals with a deeper understanding of movement, distance management, and technical variation.

Barry holds a Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification, a Level 3 Personal Training Diploma, and several boxing-specific coaching certifications. His technical ability, combined with his strong fitness background, allows him to deliver sessions that develop skill, conditioning, and confidence in equal measure.

Passionate, patient, and detail-driven, Barry is known for his ability to break down techniques clearly and help students understand the “why” behind every movement. He previously ran his own amateur boxing classes for two years, helping many students build solid foundations and progress their abilities.
