Boxing ain't just great cardio or good for a quick sweat. It’s straight-up, all-around human development.

After a certain point in your training, it starts to set in that on the hard days, every round forces your mind, body, and spirit to lock in together. When you learn how to stand in the fire, bite down on your mouthpiece, and keep your hands up even when your lungs and shoulders are burning, that mindset doesn't (and shouldn't) stay in the gym when that last bell sounds off. It bleeds into how you show up as a father, a mother, a husband, wife, friend, brother, sister, a worker, and a leader.

You take the hits, the hard rounds, you stay disciplined, you keep your damn hands up, and you walk out of the gym with real armor reinforced and equipped for whatever life throws at you.

If you want to find out what that means for you, give it a shot with a free fundamental session by following the link below.

If you don't like it, at least you'll know. But if you do like it...
Could be life changing.

See you at your first session.
👊🏽

🎃👻 Halloween Boxing Workout at AKB! (Thursday, Oct 29th)
Halloween is right around the corner, and we’re switching things up so everybody can handle family duty, daytime trick-or-treating with the little ones, and still get their rounds in.

We’re throwing our Halloween Boxing Workout during our normal training time on Thursday, October 29th at 6:30pm!

Costumes aren't mandatory, but they are HIGHLY encouraged. I’ll have the camera out snapping pictures during the session, so show up dressed to kill... or dressed to box... or both. 👿 Just make sure you can still throw hands in whatever you're wearing.

Want in on the session? Here’s how:
This workout is for AKB Members, but if you’ve been on the fence about stepping through our doors, this is your time to jump in.

Right now through the end of October, you can claim our Intro Special: your first month is just $50 for 3 sessions a week.

You get authentic technique, zero fluff, a killer workout, and a community of people who actually push you to get better—plus, you get to jump right into our Halloween throwdown on the 29th.

👉🏽 Use code OCT100 at checkout through the link below (or the link in our bio, depending on where you're seeing this) to lock in your first month for $50 and claim your spot!

See you there!

👊🏽👍🏽

🌧️ WEATHER UPDATE: Tomorrow’s Free Workout is Moving Indoors! 🥊
With all the rain today and more coming tomorrow, we’re not taking any chances working out on slick, wet concrete.

The workout is 100% STILL ON—we’re just moving inside to our normal training spot!

📍 Where: The ECM Building (Ecumenical Campus Ministry) on KU campus — 1204 Oread Ave, Lawrence, KS

We’ll have plenty of dry space to get after it, learn some authentic skills, and work up a solid sweat.

Saturday Morning Rundown:
🚗 Parking: Street and campus parking can get a little tight, so give yourself an extra few minutes to snag a good spot.
🥊 9:00 AM — Fundamentals Preview: If you’re brand new to boxing or just want a refresher on the basics (stance, guard, straight punches), show up at 9:00 AM! I’ll personally break it down with you so you’re ready to roll.
⚡ 9:30 AM — Workout Kicks Off: Full 1 to 1.5-hour session.

💧 What to Bring: Sneakers, workout clothes, a water bottle, and definitely a small towel for the sweat. (Gloves are optional—bring 'em if you got 'em, but you don't need 'em!).

Still totally FREE. If you haven't reserved your spot yet, book your spot here...

Get some rest, stay dry tonight, and see you all in the morning!

🌧️ Quick Heads Up for Saturday’s Free Workout! (Sept 26th)
Looks like there's some rain in the forecast for this Saturday morning, but we’re definitely not letting that shut us down.

If the weather looks rough and the basketball courts are wet, we’re simply taking the party indoors to our usual training spot:

📍 Indoor Backup: The ECM Building on KU campus (1204 Oread Ave).

Either way, we’re getting a great session in. Here’s a quick reminder of the rundown:

When: Saturday, September 26th at 9:30 AM (about an hour and a half total).

New to boxing? Come 30 minutes early! I’ll get you set up with your stance, guard, and basic punches before things kick off so you’re comfortable.

No gear needed: No gloves required to get a solid sweat, but pack 'em if you got 'em. Just bring some sneakers, comfy clothes, and a water bottle.

Who it’s for: Free to everybody—college students, working folks, parents, complete beginners, or anyone just looking to try something new.

Spots are still limited so we have plenty of room to move around, so make sure you claim yours ahead of time.

The team grows again! 💪🏽

Although it was a little crowded, we still got room for more homies to jump in. Training up to three times a week with teammates that want to see you succeed as bad as they do.

Whether you've got rounds in the bank or you're "fresh off the couch", I'll train you where you're at. Check the bio for a link to get your first couple free sessions in.

The only think I ask of you is that you give me your best every time you strap them gloves on. See what you got in you, for real.

Let's get it. 👊🏽👍🏽

🚨 10 SPOTS ONLY: COLLEGE SEMESTER BOXING OFFER 🚨
College life is back on for the semester. Getting into the swing of things is going to be pretty important, and finding your thing to do after classes and studying is going to be what keeps your mind right and on track. Boxing can help with that.

For this semester, I’m opening up a special run strictly limited to 10 new KU and/or Haskell students who are ready to put in some good work away from school—and I'm knocking nearly 40% OFF the regular price of what it would be, PLUS getting you the gear you need to start training right away.

What’s Included in the Semester Pass:
2 Sessions a Week: Real, structured group coaching to build genuine boxing skill, footwork, defense, and conditioning.
FREE Starter Gear Package: Your own pair of boxing gloves, 180" hand wraps, and an official AKB tee included at zero extra cost so you show up ready on Day 1.

The Catch: It’s only good for 10 new people. That’s all. Once these 10 spots are claimed, the deal slams shut and this offer is officially dead for the semester, whether I hit 10 people or not.

If you're ready to step up and see what you're actually capable of, claim your spot now with the link here or in the bio:
👉🏽 https://app.acuityscheduling.com/catalog.php?owner=39768695&action=addCart&clear=1&id=2260384

Show up, put in the work, and let's get after it.

I’ll see you at your first session.

🥊 Week 1 Done. Now We Finish Strong.
We had a solid first week of the Fundamental Boxing Camp.

I want to shout out everybody who stepped onto the floor. You came in, dumped the ego, opened your ears, and learned some stuff. We laid down the bricks: locking in the stance, holding a tight guard, and learning how to "2 step" a little. Watching the lightbulbs go off and seeing people figure it out is a big part of why I do this. It's fulfilling to see people get it.

Now, we hit Week 2. Championship rounds, if you will. We’re finishing this camp by putting all that you've learned so far together and putting real sweat into the effort in the home stretch

To my camp crew: stay disciplined, show up, and let’s end this thing right.

Missed out on this camp? Don't trip!
If you couldn't make this camp, don't throw in the towel quite yet. Our normal FREE Fundamental Boxing sessions are back on the schedule next Tuesday!

If you're ready to learn authentic boxing, get a solid sweat in, and be around people who actually care about your learning and progress in such an unforgiving sport, come on in and give it a shot.

👉🏽Sign up here for it or check the bio.

See you at the next session!
