I’ve coached boxing in Harlem since 2014 through Stray Boxing Clinic, working with adults and teens—from complete beginners and fitness clients to experienced fighters sharpening their technique.

Your first session includes a skill assessment, personalized instruction, and a clear training plan built around your experience, goals, and pace.
