You are reading this because you are a challenger.
You are thinking about boxing and that means you want to push your self to new levels
The first thing that comes to mind when you think physical fitness, Stamina, Achievement, overcoming fears is boxing, it is the purest test of your metal.
We teach strong fundamentals, muscle memory, and having a simple effective plan before you walk in the ring. You might see videos of 80 punch combinations on instagram or youtube; and while that is lovely it just is not realistic. You will learn how and where to stand, how to anticipate opponents, how to move your head, how and when to punch, etc. By the time you are ready for real sparring or a fight this will be second nature. If standing in the center of the ring and only using your jab is working that is all you will be doing!
We have a ranking system to keep you from stagnation. I have no interest in training someone who wants to “maintain.” Lets see constant progress! Also everyone on the team is not required to, but is expected to spar semi-regularly. Fighting is fun! lets get really good at it.
Pricing: $250 per month.
Availability: You may up to 4 times per week. It is recommended 2-3 times per week with me and 2-3 times per week on your own.

Our Roots
George Washington
George is the founding father, his teachings and additions to boxing are possibly overlooked by the public, but esteemed and worshiped by the boxing community especially in NYC, boxing simply wouldn’t be boxing without George ; The founder of Bed-Stuy Boxing Club.
Leon “The Cat” Taylor
For me and many others it all began with Leon. As I walked into Gleason’s Boxing Gym for the first time at 13 he looked at me with his one good eye and asked if I wanted to fight in his low, intimidating yet kind raspy voice. You take one look at Leon and know he’s been through more than you and you need to know more. After first looks you begin to understand he is kind and intensely intelligent, especially when it comes to boxing. He has a way of passing down his knowledge like no one else I know. Its something about the way he says “UpperCup and step ova” that sticks with you forever.
He is like a father and a brother to hundreds and if you’re lucky he will give you some knowledge that is going to win you a fight one day.
The Champs
Dozens of champions have come out of the lineage over the past few decades and I am lucky enough to be contributing by teaching a new era of students with some passed down knowledge to me. It is important to know where you came from though and what this road can led you to. Please research some of the fighters!
