USA BOXING CLUB
Boxing
A sanctioned USA Boxing club with a full competition ring — not bag-and-music fitness boxing. Coach Anthony “Arthur” Holt, 1982 New York Golden Gloves Champion, teaches real technique from stance and footwork through sparring for those who want it.

Call To Ask →WHAT MAKES THIS GYM DIFFERENT
A 24x24 Professional Boxing Ring. A Professional MMA Cage. Expert Coaches.
Sport, Not Fitness-Shaped Cardio
A lot of “boxing” and “kickboxing” nearby is really a cardio class with gloves on. We're a sanctioned USA Boxing club with a real competition ring, real technique, and a path to amateur competition if you want it — alongside genuine Muay Thai and MMA, not a franchise format.
Coaches Who Have Actually Done It
Anthony Holt is a 1982 Golden Gloves Champion with a 16–3 professional record. Coach Mike is a 2–1 professional MMA fighter.
Zero-Ego, Beginner-First
No experience required for any program. Sparring and hard contact are always optional and always coach-supervised — nobody gets pushed into anything before they're ready.
No Contracts, Ever
Every membership plan cancels anytime, no penalties. If you stick around, it's because you want to be here — not because you're locked into a year you regret by March.

What To Expect Your First Class
Show up ready to move
Athletic clothes and a water bottle is all you need for a first class in any program — no gear required to start.
Learn the real basics
Every class welcomes beginners. A coach walks you through stance, footwork and fundamentals — nobody assumes you've done this before.
Go at your own pace
Sparring and hard contact are always optional and always coach-supervised. You decide when, if ever, you're ready for that — not us.

QUESTIONS
Before Your First Class
Is the first class really free?
Yes. Your first class in any program is free, with no card and no contract. Book it with the Free Trial form and we'll text or call you within one business day to confirm which night you're coming.
Do I need experience or to be in shape first?
No. Getting in shape is what happens as a result of training, not a requirement to walk in. Most members started with zero martial arts background.
Will I have to spar or get hit?
Not on your first day, and maybe never. Regular classes are technique, pad work and controlled drilling. Live sparring is a separate, optional session you join only when your coach says you're ready.
What should I bring?
Athletic clothes with no zippers or pockets, and water. There's nothing to buy before your first class. After that, gloves, then shin guards; ask a coach before you buy.
What does a membership cost?
Kids Martial Arts 5/mo, All Access (adult) 0/mo, Family Plan 0/mo. Each has a one-time signup fee and no contract. Full details on the Pricing page.
What are the class times?
Classes run weekday evenings, Monday through Friday, with Open Roll on Saturday afternoons. Kids classes start at 5:00 or 5:30 PM; adult classes run from 6:30 PM. The Class Schedule has every class and coach.
How old do kids have to be?
Kids Martial Arts is for ages 6–11: Kids Boxing, Kids MMA, Kids Muay Thai and Kids Jiu-Jitsu.
