COACHES

COACH GREG KIRKPATRICK

Coach Greg is the gym owner and head coach. He’s in the gym every day teaching and coaching. He’s been coaching boxers and kickboxers for over 25 years. He has trained many fighters from scratch and helped them learn and improve and accomplish their goals. He’s helped amateur boxers get from the local to the national level. He’s helped kickboxers win titles, and he did help one kickboxer win a world championship. Before coaching he was an accomplished fighter himself. He fought as both an amateur and professional boxer, and he also won championships in kickboxing.

COACH JAIME KIRKPATRICK

Has been coaching boxing and kickboxing for the past 20 years.  Before coaching she was an accomplished fighter.  She won kickboxing championships, and she was a top ranked amateur boxer.  At one time she was ranked #2 in the nation.

COACH MIKE

Has been coaching boxing for the past 5 years.  Before coaching he was a competitive boxer at our gym.  When he was done competing he still worked out, and one day Greg asked him if he’d be interested in coaching.  Fortunately for everyone at our gym he said he was interested… and he’s been with it ever since.  Mike is also a tremendous artist.  He spray painted the gym logo on the wall by the ring.

ASSIST. COACH RYAN

He’s not an official coach, but he sometimes helps teach beginner’s classes and he helps out in many other ways.  Ryan is a very experienced boxer.  He started boxing at our gym almost 20 years ago when he was in high school.  He went to the University of Nevada Reno and boxed in college where he won two National Collegiate Boxing Championship titles.  As I write this he seems to be done competing, but he still spars with all kinds of people at our gym… both young and old.  His sparring and his advice and guidance have helped many of our gym members.

COACH GRANT

Grant has been coaching for more than 5 years.  He started working out at our gym almost 20 years ago.  He was an open class boxer, and after he was done competing he found that he really enjoys staying involved in the sport and teaching both boxing and kickboxing.
