THE EAST-END AMATEUR BOXING CLUB

This program was initiated as a FUND-RAISER for the Underground Gym to continue running it's free programs for the needy youth of Thunder Bay. Besides, let's give everyone a chance to BOX. Who knows the talent that's out there that wouldn't have a chance otherwise.

We are a registered Club with Boxing Ontario & Boxing Canada. Peter Panetta is a fully certified level III NCCP coach & course-conductor certified with Boxing Canada & Boxing Ontario.

These courses will accommodate both competitive amateur boxers as well as recreational boxers.

We will follow the new "Underground Boxing System" which incorporates 7 levels of progression. The focus will be on developing progressive technical skills as well as the conditioning needed to prepare the boxer for "RING COMPETITION". (Safety & defense are at the top of our priority list).

Courses start September, 2008 until June 2009. Classes are every Tuesday & Thursday from 6:15 to 7:45 pm. One can join anytime. {It is possible to train every Monday & Wednesday as well when available}.
