Let Em Fly Boxing Academy

This little one is truly a future star in the making! ⭐🥊

I absolutely love working with her. Her energy, positive attitude, and willingness to learn are incredible, especially at just 6 years old. She comes into the gym ready to work, listens, gives her best effort, and has a smile that lights up the room.

It's athletes like her that remind me why I love coaching. The future is definitely bright, and I can't wait to watch her continue to grow both inside and outside the ring.

Keep working hard, little champ—your journey is just getting started! 💪❤️

Another 7-day National Tournament is in the books! 🥊🇺🇸

The 2026 National Junior Olympics in Wichita, Kansas was another incredible experience for our team. Every one of our boxers stepped into the ring, competed at a high level, and represented Let Em Fly Boxing Academy with heart, toughness, and pride. That's all we can ask for as coaches.

We leave Wichita with Aniyah capturing her 3rd National Championship and earning back-to-back National Titles! 🥇 What an incredible accomplishment!

As a team, we brought home three national medals:
🥇 Aniyah – National Champion
🥈 Lilly – Silver Medalist
🥉 Osiris – Bronze Medalist

Every athlete we brought looked sharp, gained valuable experience, and had the opportunity to spar some of the best young fighters in the country. Those experiences are priceless and will only make us stronger.

Osiris, Jayden and our newest competition team member, Zealand, came up just short in hard-fought 3-2 split decisions. Lilly and Emoni boxed great but, unfortunately, it just wasn't their day. Every one of them proved they belong on the national stage, and their time is coming.

I couldn't be more proud of this team. We know exactly what we need to improve, and we'll get right back to work making those small adjustments for an even bigger comeback.

Great job this week, Aniyah, Jayden, Osiris, Lilly, Emoni, and Zealand! Thank you to all the families, supporters, and everyone who continues to believe in our program. We appreciate every bit of the support.

Back to the gym. Back to work. Let 'Em Fly! 🥊💪

Reminder no Beginner classes this week!

🏆 5 unanimous victories for the competition team yesterday! 🏆

The hard work, dedication, and countless hours in the gym are paying off. I'm incredibly proud of every athlete who stepped into the ring and represented our team the right way.

Now it's time to shift our focus to the next challenge: Nationals. The grind doesn't stop. We were right back in the gym today putting in work, sharpening our skills, and preparing for the biggest stage yet.

Every round, every drill, every workout matters. We're staying locked in and hungry for more.

🥊 Nationals, we're coming.
✈️ National Team on deck.

First fight in the books for Little Ms. Nylah'Rae!

She works extremely hard in the gym, always comes ready to learn, and gives 100% effort every time she steps through the doors. Her journey is just beginning, and this is only the first chapter of what promises to be an exciting boxing career.

We couldn't be more proud of her courage, determination, and willingness to step into the ring. We can't wait to see what the future holds for our newest addition to the competition team.

The future is bright for Nylah'Rae! 💪🔥🥊

Til next year!

Another dominant weekend at the South Texas JO’s. We didn’t bring a full squad, but the ones who stepped in carried themselves like a full team and then some.

6-0 Undefeated
5 unanimous decisions
1 stoppage.

That’s not luck—that’s preparation, discipline, and heart showing up when it matters.

I couldn’t be prouder! Every round, every fight, they showed what we’ve been building in the gym, and the part that says the most? Every single one of them was right back in the gym the very next day.

That mindset is what separates good from great.

We’ve got a big summer ahead, and next time, we’re bringing the whole team. 🥊

South Texas Junior Olympic Gold for Jayden and Lilliana Hernandez!

Big congrats to Jayden, our hardest worker in the gym, for putting together two strong wins this weekend and taking the Junior 110 lb division 🥇

Shoutout to Lilly, “The Beauty Who’s A Beast,” for claiming the Bantam 75 lb division! Even while not feeling 100%, you stepped up, competed, and brought home gold 🥇

Next stop: Wichita, Kansas — where they’ll represent STABA on the big stage at the National Junior Olympics. Let’s keep it rolling 🥊🔥

South Texas Junior Olympic Gold for Mr. HUH 🥇

One of the most respectful fighters in the gym. All that hard work day in and day out paid off—he stepped in, got two wins on the weekend, and secured Gold with authority.

Proud of the progression and even more excited for what’s ahead. The future is bright. 🥊💪

Congrats Zealand 🥊🔥💪

First Gold Medalist of the South Texas Junior Olympic Tournament — Jake Franco by RSC! 🥇🥊

Huge congratulations on the stoppage and bringing home the tournament win. The grind you put in day in and day out never goes unnoticed—and tonight it showed in a big way. Proud of you, keep leveling up!
