"The
Original"
School of Hard Knox...
A:Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday & Friday from 6PM to 8PM. We are closed
Wednesdays and weekends. However they are subject to
change.
A:Getting ready
to compete is a completely personal goal. How fast you learn
& how hard you work will determine how quickly you can start
competing. In the beginning of your training, you will learn
foot work & the jab-no other aspects-until these two elements
are mastered. It will all seem very boring & useless but
they are the foundation for every combination you will eventually
learn; without them nothing else will be properly
executed.

Q: Do I
have to be be at practice every night?
A: While we
understand that school & work schedules don't always
accommodate the training schedule, you miss vital information when
you are absent from practice. The more training sessions you
attend, the more you will learn.

Q: Is
boxing safe?
A: As with any
sport or activity there is risk of injury. However, amateur
boxing has many safety precautions in place to prevent
injuries. Boxing is actually safer than more popular sports
like football, hockey & even cheerleading. While we
cannot guarantee you will never suffer an injury (black eye, bloody
nose, or a fat lip are the most common) we strive to keep injuries
to a minimum.

Q: Do you
travel often?
A: We try to
attend every event we possibly can when funds allow. We are a non
profit organization (501 c 3) but funds are very limited. The
staff (the coach & his support staff) are all VOLUNTEERS.
They do not receive any financial compensation for the time they
put into our gym. Many times the staff have taken money from
their own pockets to get the team to an event. We are always
seeking ways to raise money to get to events whether through
holding car washes or finding a grant writer that is willing to
donate his/her time to our organization.

Q: What
does a non profit organization mean?
A: Because we are a non profit
organization (501 c 3) donations that are made to our organization
are considered a contribution to a charitable organization and may
be tax deductible
