About
The pandemic has allowed me to focus on training
Most boxing classes are general work out classes with a lot of people in one class. This stops the trainer from being able to fully help you because his focus is divided. I am offering 1 on 1 sessions to fully maximize your training. There are total body workout sessions as well but I will teach you technique and proper form
Many franchise gyms have trainers with no sparring or practical boxing experience that will still charge $40-$100 on a private session
I have trained hundreds of people and many have gone on to compete and succeed.
For:
People who have never boxed and want to try
People with limited boxing experience
People who have never worked out in their life or haven’t worked out in years
Competition level boxers
People who want a different way to do cardio
People who want to learn how to defend themselves
Men, women, and children of all ages
I guarantee that after 1 session: you will know the bare basics and will get a good workout catered to your fitness level and needs
After 1 month (of at least 2-3x a week) you will master all the different types of punches and basic combos
After 3 months (of at least 2-3x a week) you can stop going and know how to conduct your own basic training without doing it wrong. You will be sufficient enough to not look like a fool in front of actual boxers
If you want to continue, after 6 months: be good enough to compete on the amateur level. If you don’t want to compete you will never be pressured to
After 1 year: you will be able to do advanced combos, workouts, and be able to spar with almost anyone.
The goal is to get you to not need me anymore (except for the competition fighters).
Message here to schedule and get more info. It will be in a Bartlett home where there is no chance to get Covid and equipment will be properly cleaned.
Monday-Friday 6am - 6pm. Custom hours depends on request and availability
If you want to add someone with you it’s only $15 per add on. I will not work with more than 4 people in one session as it diminishes the time I can work with you.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I create a personalized plan for each student based on personal goals
First thing taught is proper form and technique
Once technique is perfect, speed, power, and intensity of the moves are worked on
After just one session, the student is able to sufficiently throw a punch. After a few sessions, the student will learn exponentially.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Former Boxer
Taught many competition level boxers
Multiple sport medalist and athlete
Taught hundreds of students how to defend themselves, hit weight goals, and/or fight
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$40 for a 1 hour session. (To put it in perspective, many trainers charge $50 - $100+ for one hour)
$350 for a 10 card punch pack amounting to $35 per 1 hour session
I guarantee that there are no boxing coaches on lessons.com that are charging less than $50 other than me
How did you get started teaching?
Trained brother to compete in district and regional tournaments
What types of students have you worked with?
Every type of student with every type of body composition. I have worked with children as young as 5 to my oldest student who was 78 and needed a way to be active.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I had a 6 year old student frustrated with his inability to jump rope more than 3 times in a row. I told him that it's okay to be frustrated, but just because something is hard, it doesn't mean to quit. After a few more minutes of calming down and a pep talk we were able to get 5 jumps in a row. 3 months later, the kid can do over 220 jumps in a 3 minute session.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Technique, technique, technique. You can always get stronger and faster, but if you learn technique the wrong way the first time, it can take a while to forget the initial wrong technique and relearn the correct technique.
It pains me to say I have seen countless trainers who have never stepped in a ring do "workout boxing." The trainer holds the focus mitts wrong, they teach wrong technique that they learned off YouTube and got an online certificate for, and they focus more on getting the student tired than actually learning anything useful.
Before committing to a teacher, ask that teacher to shadow box or hit the bag. If it looks funny, that teacher probably doesn't know how to box. You can't teach what you don't know so be wary of these fake teachers. That goes for any sport. If you're learning basketball make sure your teacher can shoot and dribble. I can't tell you how many times I see a muscular trainer trying to teach boxing. It's usually not good.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Can my trainer box?
Can my trainer explain things in a simple way?
Can my trainer help me reach my goals?
Am I progressing after every single session or am I learning too many different things every time I come?
