A coach has helped 10 young people turn their lives around by using martial arts to steer them away from street violence.
Steven France, who runs Made 4 The Cage gym in Sunderland invited 10 young people to train with him as part of a programme to help them turn their lives around.
After getting funding from Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner's Violence Reduction Fund, Steven was able to launch the year long Positive Steps project.
