What is your biggest fear coming into a boxing gym? Most people think it is getting hit. It is not. It is hitting someone else. If you hit me, I'll live with it. If I hit you, I have to live with it myself. Everybody knows what they can't do. It is what they can do that scares them.
Fear is the great motivator. We are physically wired for it. Fight, flight, freeze or faint. Pick one. Then train for it. Boxing is not fighting. One is a sport; the other is an instinct. We take behaviors and turn them into habits, then we take those habits and turn them into new instincts.
Everybody has two identities - the one you are born with and the one you live with. Who you are is not who you were. Every fighter has a ring name. What is yours?
BE A FIGHTER
Life is a contact sport. You are welcomed into the world with a slap on the ass, not a kiss on the cheek. It starts when you win your first fight for oxygen and ends when you lose in the rematch.
How you do in between is up to you. If there is no crying in baseball, there’s even less in boxing. Think life is tough? It is. Think life’s not fair? You’re right.
The opponents you face may not be named Foreman or Frazier, but every day we train people as if they were. Our “fighters” encounter the same challenges as you. We don’t fight their battles for them. We teach them how to stand on their feet, pick up their hands and win them on their own.
You don't need a college degree to learn how to box, but you should have a boxing degree if you want to teach it. Our trainers have their master’s degrees in getting punched in the face and their Ph.D.’s in how not to. It is one thing being able to do it, it is another to be able to teach it. We do both.
No matter what your level of education, nothing matters if you don't have the ability to perform under pressure. We teach you the stuff they don't in grad school - how to stand up, pick up your hands and fight.
Our trainers are teachers. They know boxing like the back of their hand because they learned it from the back of someone else's. We didn't learn it on YouTube. We learned it in a gym and practiced it in front of a crowd. Anybody can teach you how to throw a punch. We teach you how to throw a punch when there's one coming at you.

Coach Melendrez brings decades of experience training world champions. He has trained over 30 UFC and Bellator fighters and high-level professional boxers. Fighters such as Phil Davis, Jeremy Stephens, Darrion Caldwell, Brandon Vera, Ross Pearson, Dominick Cruz, Chris Martin, and UFC up-and-comer Matt Sayles, developed their striking techniques under coach Melendrez' tutelage.
Working with a ranked MMA team can have its advantages.
“One hundred percent, it matters,” says Alliance MMA head coach Eric Delfierro. “When we call a big show to recommend a guy, promoters listen to us. At the same time, it can really make it hard to get fights at smaller shows, for the same reasons.”
