Looking for a serious boxing gym in Annapolis? You just found it.

Annapolis Boxing is the only amateur boxing club in Annapolis registered with USA Boxing. 


We provide a clear path from learning the fundamentals to participating in USA Boxing-sanctioned competitions and tournaments.

We train every athlete like a boxer — with an emphasis on fundamentals, discipline, technical development, and measurable progress. Whether you are brand-new, training for fitness, returning to the sport, or preparing to compete, this is where your boxing journey begins.

Our training system is built on two foundations:

• School of Boxing — where you develop proper stance, footwork, defense, punching mechanics, and overall technique.

• School of Combat — where you apply those skills through mitt work, partner drills, tactical exercises, and supervised sparring.

We offer boxing classes six days a week, Monday through Saturday.

Founded in 2023, Annapolis Boxing is an ego-free training community led by Coach Edson Rocha, a Brazilian Army veteran and USA Boxing Gold-Level Coach.

All levels. All in. Let’s get to work.

No experience? No problem. This is where it begins.

The program includes:

• 80 hours of structured training
• A technical evaluation at the end of the program
• Progression based on your individual development

Build a strong technical foundation, improve your conditioning, and develop confidence from your first day of training.

INTERMEDIATE BOXING PROGRAM

Level Up Your Fight Game

Once you have built a solid technical foundation, the Intermediate Boxing Program takes your development further.

Through at least 150 hours of structured training, you will refine your technique, improve your tactical awareness, and prepare for more advanced drills, supervised sparring, and amateur competition.

The program develops:

• Advanced combinations and footwork
• Defense and counterpunching
• Timing, distance, and pressure management
• Tactical decision-making and fight IQ
• Competition-specific conditioning

This is where solid fundamentals become effective boxing.
