Peter Welch's Gym

Boxing Instruction Program

Whether you want to learn boxing as a hobby, for self defense, to test yourself in carefully supervised matches or become an amateur or professional fighter, our Boxing Instruction Program is the most unique boxing instruction program in the country with small group training that follows a comprehensive and progressive curriculum.

You will be guided through a formalized training system where you will progress through Levels and ultimately be recognized for your ranking by Peter Welch's Gym - similar to the belt system found in many martial arts.

The Boxing Instruction Program was developed by Peter Welch - a former Golden Gloves champion and the elite boxing coach for many UFC Fighters including; Kenny Florian, Jorge Rivera and Brock Lesnar.

Under the supervision of several class instructors, you will learn the basics of boxing mechanics. Over time, you will learn traditional boxing techniques that paved the way for Dempsey, Marciano, Hagler, Robinson, Ali and countless others who made boxing history.

This program incorporates and builds off the conditioning principles used in the Fighter Conditioning Classes.

To experience a Boxing Instruction Program Class, we encourage you to take a free class on Tuesday (7:30pm) or Thursday nights (7pm).

In a fun, closely supervised and engaged environment, children (boys and girls) will learn basic boxing skills and conditioning exercises that will build their self esteem, discipline and confidence.

Children will be taught the basic stance, footwork, punching combinations and how to properly use boxing equipment such as pads and bags. They will practice and perfect a wide range of boxing drills (no sparring), a variety of bodyweight and strength conditioning exercises along with cardiovascular and flexibility related activities that will measurably improve their overall physical conditioning and mental focus.

Children will be broken into groups based on age and skill level.
