HOW DO I GET CERTIFIED?
WHY DO I NEED A BOXING CERTIFICATE?
Both Dino and Tom have been around to many gyms in their travel. They have seen tremendous growth in boxing and want to see the growth continue. Boxing is one of the best workouts for cardio, heart health, self-protection, aerobic, anaerobic and strength conditioning. When taught PROPERLY. It's kind of an all-in-one workout. It is easy to participate as all you really need to try it is some hand-wraps and a pair of gloves. It is also accessible in the sense that it is cost efficient and the benefits are tremendous. Very little chance of injury, low Impact and easy to learn IF taught properly. This is all predicated however on the fact that you do not injure yourself, or worse, your client. Without proper form, instruction and protection in the initial stages, it can easily come to an abrupt end with the wrong trainer or coach. It will “turn off" a person, with a bad 1st experience. This will ultimately curtail the clients into giving up and corrupting the boxing workout.
Adding boxing to your repertoire and arsenal will help make you not only stand out but instill a unique confidence in your clients you can only get from boxing.
