Our Philosophy
We strive to give people the best boxing experience possible. We emphasize foot work, defense, and of course, punching techniques. Even though most work is done by getting in the ring, our students will eventually know how to defend themselves if the occasion arises.
​
We are very passionate about this sport of science, and it is a science. We put 100% into it, and that's what we try to pull out of everyone who walks through the door.
​
If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.
"The best things I'm called, are 'Dad' and 'Coach!'"

"My biggest inspiration is watching someone walk through that door knowing nothing, and literally weeks later, we have them boxing. You never know what's inside someone."
