COACH EDSON ROCHA

USA Boxing Gold Level Coach | Founder of Annapolis Boxing

Boxing is more than a sport—it's a discipline, a mindset, and a lifelong journey of self-improvement. At Annapolis Boxing, I ensure that every athlete, whether a beginner or an experienced competitor, trains with the right structure, safety, and technique to maximize their potential.

Certifications & Coaching Experience

I am proud to be a USA Boxing Gold Level Coach, the highest coaching certification provided by USA Boxing. Selected as one of only eight coaches nationwide to complete this elite program at the United States Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, I have deepened my expertise in:

• International Competition Tactics
• Advanced Strength & Conditioning
• Nutrition for Peak Performance
• Injury Prevention & Recovery Strategies

This elite training allows me to provide world-class coaching to every athlete at Annapolis Boxing.

My Journey & Coaching Philosophy

Originally from Brazil, I have called Annapolis, MD, my home since 2017 and proudly became a U.S. citizen in 2021. As a Brazilian Army veteran, I bring discipline, structure, and passion to my coaching, ensuring that my athletes receive technical precision and mental resilience in every session.

At Annapolis Boxing, we welcome all levels—from those looking to get in shape to athletes preparing for competition. Every program is structured to meet your individual goals, with a focus on skill development, physical conditioning, and the rich tradition of boxing.

Beyond the Ring

Outside of boxing, I enjoy spending time with family, working outdoors, reading, and sharing a traditional Brazilian churrasco with friends.
