Brotherhood Boxing

I went by to inquire and was very disappointed with the manager or owner. He was very nice but there seemed to be and underlying racist element. My son is an amateur boxer and is 17 years old. The owner told me that a requirement to join the gym was for him to review these kids grades and make sure they PASS ALL THE SUBJECTS or they could not be a Brotherhood member. REALLY? After I left and gave it thought I concluded this was a racist ploy to discourage ppl of a darker race from joining. I did notice they had majority white or Hispanic young talent. I didn’t even see a light skinned black person. As a black man I didn’t do well in school and pass EVERY GRADE ALL THE TIME. However I did graduate and go to college and did well in life. kids of different races and backgrounds can do differently in school and to judge a membership on that is a way to discourage and reduce a certain people you don’t want. To some people that may be all they have is a boxing gym and this gym is going to deny them that only option? I’m all for kids doing good and having coaches or trainers instilling good values and being concerned, but it should be not the only criteria. Besides what he doesn’t know is my son is doing well in school and doing his BEST and is not a gang member and loves boxing to the core. My son spars with pro fighters and olympic prospects. The owner pointed at an old bill board with outdated fighters who came through some time long ago. Nothing or no one recent. Again it overall appeared racist

I trained here for a month during the summer. Training was great, They have a weight section which they incorporate into their workout. location was very easy to get to but sometimes parking during the day can be crazy due to the alternate street parking. The owners were really nice. I orgiinally planned for 6 weeks. I spoke to them about 2 week rate extra and they were very acommodating. Too bad, I had to run back upstate to move into new house so I had to cut it short. I would probably come back next summer.

I finally found it, my perfect boxing gym. Great coaches, chill crowd. Being back to boxing after two years break, I only foresee one problem: cursing is forbidden here. But no one hears what I whisper to myself, right?

This gym is great for both kids and adults. Some of the best JOs in the country train here, as well as multiple golden glove champions. You not only get to train with coach Ray Cuadrado (which in my opinion is the best part about coming here), but there’s also an impressive gym to do full body, sport-​specific workouts, which SO many of these boxing gyms are lacking due to budget restraints and outdated misinformation about exercise science. Whether you want to compete, or just want to get into fighting shape, the Brotherhood Boxing Club is the place to go.
