🛡️ Armor Up: A Tight Defense Saves Lives
Hands up, chin tucked, guard tight. In the ring and in life, the second you drop your guard is the moment you get caught.

One of the biggest blocks of our Fundamental Boxing Camp starting July 28th is entirely dedicated to arming you with an elite defensive structure. We aren't just teaching you how to punch; we are teaching you how to protect the asset. You will learn how to catch, block, roll, and slip punches, and maintain accountability over your guard even when fatigue sets in.

True confidence comes from knowing your defense is bulletproof.

⚡ Discover Weapons: Your Offensive Toolbox
Real offense isn't about swinging and praying. It’s a tactical manipulation of what your hands can do. It’s about extension, timing, rotating the hips, and knowing exactly when to pull the trigger with precision.

On July 28th, we are unlocking the offensive toolbox. You’re going to learn how to throw clean jabs, sharp crosses, and structured combinations that connect with maximum efficiency—without leaving yourself completely exposed. We train you to think like a boxing technician.

Get ready to work hard, take feedback, and sharpen your tools.

🚨 Advance and Evade: Establish Your Stance
Your stance is your battle station. Everything in boxing—your power, your defense, your mobility, and your balance—starts from the ground up. If your feet are wrong, your punches lose leverage and your guard is compromised.

At the Fundamental Boxing Camp on July 28th, we are spending dedicated time breaking down exactly how to establish and maintain a structure that makes you unshakeable. We’re teaching you how to stay balanced, move with intent, and maintain the proper range so you control the space.

If you want high-level boxing IQ, you have to master the posture first.

🥊 Master the Basics: The Fundamental Boxing Camp
You can’t build a championship house on a weak foundation. Too many people try to skip steps, throwing wild hooks before they even know how to balance their weight. That’s how you build bad habits that get exposed real quick.

On July 28th, we are starting with "Step 1". The Fundamental Boxing Camp is designed to strip away the noise and lock in a rock-solid foundation. Whether you’re a complete beginner looking to start the right way, or an experienced Boxer needing to clean up your blind spots, this camp is for you. We’re going deep into the structure, the strategy, and the warrior mindset.

Spaces are limited. Stop overthinking and start building.

🥊 THE FUNDAMENTAL BOXING CAMP IS BACK (WITH A HUGE REWARD) 🥊

If you missed the first one, here is your second chance.

Starting July 28th, I’m running our 2-week, 6-session Fundamental Boxing Camp. This is open to new and current members, kids and adults (ages 15+).

This isn't a random cardio class where you just flail your arms. Each session has a specific focus that builds off the last one so you actually learn real technique, real discipline, and real defense.

📅 The Schedule (July 28 – August 8):
- Tuesdays at 6:00 PM
- Thursdays at 6:00 PM
- Saturdays at 9:00 AM

⚠️ The Rules & Details:
- 100% Free to join the camp.
- No experience needed.
- No equipment needed on Day 1.
- Limited to 20 spots total.

The Commitment: You must commit to all 6 sessions. If you're going to flake halfway through, don't take a spot from someone who actually wants to be here.

🔥 THE HOOK-UP (FOR THE GRINDERS ONLY) 🔥
I don’t reward laziness, but I heavily reward discipline.

If you lock in, show up, and complete all 6 sessions of this camp, I am giving you a huge first-month sign-up hook-up to officially join the Animal Kingdom Boxing crew.

You prove to me that you can follow instructions and show up for 2 weeks, and I’ll make it incredibly easy for you to keep training on the mats with us.

Whether you’re here for fitness, skill, confidence, or you just want to tap into that warrior mindset—this is where it starts.

Because of the last FBC, we've up'd the max boxer limit to 30 people. But don't sleep on it. The spots will still go fast!

See you on the floor.

🥊 Honoring a True Warrior: Emile Griffith ✊🏽🏳️‍🌈🏳‍⚧

Today, June 19th, as we celebrate both Juneteenth and Pride Month, I want to honor a historical icon who lived at the exact intersection of Black excellence and LGBTQ+ history: fierce trailblazer Emile Griffith (85-24-2 (23 KO's), 1 NC)

Emile was a master of the sweet science. He was a 5-time, 3-division World Champion, a Hall of Famer, and possesses one of the most technical records in boxing history. But his toughest fight wasn't against the killers he faced in the ring—it was against a world that wasn't ready for who he truly was.

As a bisexual Black man dominating a hyper-masculine sport in the 1960s, Emile had to fight for his basic humanity every single day. He famously said:

"I kill a man, and most people understand and forgive me. However, I love a man, and to many, this is an unforgivable sin."

Emile Griffith showed up, out-worked everyone, took life’s heaviest combinations, punch for punch, and never let the world break his capacity to give love. He proved that true strength is about the integrity and discipline it takes to protect your identity and stand tall in your own truth.

Within Animal Kingdom Boxing, we hold a warrior-tribe mindset that believes everybody deserves love and respect. I want to take this moment to directly recognize and honor my AKB members who celebrate Juneteenth and Pride Month. Your heart beats in sync with all other members of this crew. I see your grind, I respect your journey, and I am proud to stand in your corner not just during this special holiday month, but during every round this life has to offer.

Rest in peace to a true champion in Emile Griffith, and respect to everyone in this Kingdom, and outside of it, fighting to live their truth. 👑🥊

👊🏽👍🏽
