Boxing Essentials
About
I've been boxing since I was 17. I use to compete when when I was younger now I just train to stay in shape and keep my hand and eye coordination fresh.
I enjoy training each day and improving on my craft when I get a chance. I teach new comers the basics first and help them discover what fighting stance works best (southpaw or orthodox). I combine hand mitt drills with a power punching shield to help with power hooks and uppercuts. Teaching someone something new takes time and patience. Everyone starts at the same level but a great teacher can help you improve with confidence and coordination.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First we'll find what fighting stance is your preferred one. Then we will start with the basics of how to throw a proper punch 🤛. After that we can start throwing some jabs and straight punches on some mitts until we find your rhythm and range. Once we get a bit advanced with our punching, we can start to incorporate more combos and head movement to help improve your technique.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a SFSU alumni with a B.S in Business marketing. I also have an AA in economics. I know that may not show I'm physical capable of training someone but I've been a gym rat my whole life since I've started training and I haven't stopped since then.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I normally charge per hour a lesson it's $40

How did you get started teaching?
I started to teach a couple years ago. At first it was just family members but once I started to improve, close friends would ask me to help train them on how to defend themselves. I took it as an opportunity to help introduce the sport of boxing in a friendly and helpful way that would make it more approachable for a new comer.
What types of students have you worked with?
I train with new and seasoned veterans who want to keep up with there training.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
