I wanted to use Boxing to relieve stress and gain more confidence. Not only did I achieve both of those and continue training every week but, I also gains a mentor and a great friend in Johnny. Very humble and supportive towards not only my craft but his aswell cWhen it’s time to work it’s time to work but there’s also chill vibes and he’s very open to talking about anything in life that’s bothering me at that moment. I’ve seen progress since week one and he shows you it’s not just about punching it’s about footwork and balance. Some teach Boxing with just gloves he breaks it down to a science!!!!
