The Boxing Gym Florissant is home to some of the finest Instructors in St. Louis. Our Competition Teams exist not only for those
individuals who wish to compete in Combat Sports, but also for those individuals who simply want to learn the varied skills of an
MMA fighter without having to compete. By being a member one of the Teams you can also expect to get into the best shape of your life
as a result of our conditioning drills.
IMPORTANT: Whereas some facilities are known for producing great strikers, and other great ground-fighters, The
Boxing Gym is known for producing well-balanced fighters who can win whether on their feet or on the ground. Ours
is the most unique and cost-effective training in St. Louis.
TBG Florissant Teams
Boxing Team - Boxing (sometimes known as the sweet science, pugilism, or English boxing)
is a combat sport in which two participants of similar weight fight each other with their fists. Victory is achieved if the
opponent is knocked down and unable to get up before the referee counts to ten (a Knockout, or KO) or if the opponent is deemed
too injured to continue (a Technical Knockout, or TKO). If there is no stoppage of the fight before an agreed number of rounds,
a winner is determined either by the referee's decision or by judges' scorecards. Our club is affiliated with USA Boxing, sanctioning
body for Amateur Boxing in the United States and trains athletes for local competition, Golden Gloves, and national tournaments such
as the annual Ringside Tournament in Kansas City, MO.
