THE ANNAPOLIS BOXING METHOD
EVERY SKILL
HAS A
PURPOSE.
Annapolis Boxing teaches Olympic boxing through fundamentals, discipline and technical development. Whether you are brand-new, returning to the sport or preparing to compete, training starts with a strong foundation.
Our School of Boxing develops stance, footwork, punching mechanics and defense. Our School of Combat develops the application of those skills through purposeful partner drills, mitt work and boxing-specific tactics.
For members who choose to spar, supervised rounds provide an opportunity to apply their skills when the coaching staff determines they are ready.
UNDERSTAND THE APPLICATION.
Develop timing, distance, positioning and purposeful decisions through focused drills.
PUT SKILLS INTO PRACTICE.
Apply your training in supervised rounds with clear objectives and coach approval.
