At AWBC, not everyone wants to get hit, so our founder, Coach Julia Gschwind, developed a color band ranking system similar to martial arts belt tests. Every 3-4 months, we hold a band test for eligible boxers. They demonstrate all of their skills at the test to earn their next color band. The band system exists to give you a clear, tangible goal that isn’t about fighting or a win-loss record. It’s a way to measure your development as a boxer including your conditioning, coordination, technique, strength, and consistency over time. It’s about earning progression, confidence and physical strength through skill practice and commitment.

We’re here to teach you the skill and sport of boxing in a fun, varied, and sweaty group class environment! We hold boxing classes 7 days a week, and have different classes for different ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a teen who wants a safe space to workout amongst peers, a beginner boxer looking for a new hobby, or a seasoned fighter training for your next bout, we have a class available for you.
