The Boxing Shop is Victorious in Gladstone

Dave Thompson and "Jimmy" James Whitbourne travelled up to Gladstone on Saturday night to take on 2 very handy local boxers.
"its always a big ask to travel away and come home with the points"said Head coach of "The Boxing Shop" Gareth Willaims.
Thompson was Outstanding for a young man having only his fifth fight where he showed maturity and class in the ring from the opening bell.
Dave won the fight with the final score being 19-6,which is a very convincing win."his Punches were crisp and delivered very precisely in what was a very pleasing result for our squad".
Jimmy James was in his 53rd Amateur Boxing Bout and looked very,very sharp.He Boxed on the Back foot and made his opponent walk into his punches,which was very pleasing for his trainer as "this is what weve been working on for weeks and Jimmy executed the plan perfectly" said Gareth.
"Overall I am very Proud of my Boys in the way that they were extremely professional,in and out of the ring and there Boxing performances were fantastic".

Since moving to Griffith University at the Nathan Campus the Boys have a new team to represent and are doing all the students and staff of Griffith extremely Proud.

Boxing Brisbane on the rise

Boxing in Brisbane is on the increase.
More and more people everyday and from all walks of life are becoming hooked on Boxing training as a means of fitness,self defence and also to learn new skills.

"we are currently training stock brokers,Labourer's,musician's,athletes and lots of different people who have totally different back grounds" said Gareth Williams,head trainer of "The Boxing Shop".
"Since our Opening (20/2/07) we have already introduced 3 more classes than we originally expected to run,due to the overwhelming response from the General public.The difference is that we teach everybody the correct skills in attack and defence rather than running your standard boxing for fitness class and no one is ever pressured to step in to the ring to fight".
