What do you love about boxing? How did you get into training? What are you fighting for?
Boxing gave me an outlet to escape my mind. It allowed me to be fully present and leave behind the daily stressors that distract me from being the best version of myself even for an hour or two of the day. Oh, I also love to feckin punch things. I found a local gym in Ireland and used it to channel my energy ultimately taking a few amateur fights. That experience translated when I arrived in New York and continued to fight in the amateurs. I’m fighting for sanity, freedom from the voices in my head that tell me I’m not good enough and anyone who has ever been knocked down and wants to get back up.
Describe your style of teaching.
Energetic and intense. My goal is to drill the basics and build from there. Underlying all of that my hope is to share the joy and passion that comes with hitting the bag and mitts.
Favorite type of music to play during class?
Ummmmm….Celine Dion but don’t worry we will give you plenty of hip hop and rock to balance it out.
