WCB channel’s videos have helped me greatly UNDERSTAND and improve my inside fighting. Slipping, rolling, switches and shifts. I’m grateful that Mr Yankello is generous enough to post these lessons for free. Thank you for all you’ve given.

Tom Yankello’s boxing videos are great for teaching the fundamentals of boxing. I have really enjoyed watching and learning from someone who is so passionate about boxing and teaching it right! Recommend 100% to new and seasoned veteran boxers to learn something new. I have the fundamental of boxing, heavy bag workout, Philly shell, 200 defenses blocks and parries videos learnt so much about body mechanics and the right way to defend, punch and move. I have watched so many times and learned a lot. I started watching Tom’s YouTube’s videos and that made me want to get the in depth videos. Start there for any avid boxing fan!!!

The best youtube boxing channel with a wealth of drills and tips informed by years of experience training and film study. I credit all that I do well or what remains of it to Coach Tom Yankello's tutelage.
If you are serious about the sport, a great choice for a boxing gym.

Avid student of Tom's Youtube tutorials since 2022. Don't get me wrong: I have good in-person teachers, I've been attending a boxing gym in Brazil in a daily basis for more than 3 years - but still, Tom and Danny are responsible for great part of my boxing skills. No better school than old school, and no better place to learn it, in person or Internet. If I ever go to Pennsylvania, I'll certainly visit Ambridge and WCB to say my thanks.

I own his videos and I’ve been online coached by him before. His explanations are quite lengthy but he makes perfect sense. Tom is flexible working with your style regardless of what it may be.

My name's Ignacio and I first found Tom Yankello's channel pre-2020 covid, but it was during the pandemic lockdowns that I became a fan of his boxing teachings, doing every single shadowboxing workout he published, and learning a ton of knowdledge from his technical reviews and historical analysis of old school boxing. He is one of my main boxing inspiration as a sports scholar, trainer, cornerman and gym owner. Always in debt with Mr. Yankello, who I consider one of my coaches! Best regards,

I live in a small town and have kickboxed all my life. The nearest boxing centre is 400 kilometres away. I’ve purchased many of the videos from Tom Yankello and I can now understand how to box properly. It has helped my sparring and love for the sport immensely. Tom is very special.

The absolute BEST Boxing Trainer I've ever seen. Details and explains every little thing to a T and knows exactly how to fix even the slightest problem in somebody's boxing game. For many years now I've watched his YouTube videos and am continuously impressed with his coaching skills & watching his Student Danny Bodish fight professionally now, in the ring doing EXACTLY what Tom Yankello taught him and winning just speaks to Mr.Yankellos commitment to the sweet science but also to those he teaches. I'm 100% willing to bet that man is worth every single penny. Personally I'd move to Pennsylvania just to train in his gym. He's a Legend of the sport and is worth a 5 star rating without a doubt.

Update: I still stand by this

I flew all the way across the country to train with coach yankello (shouts to andrew and Tommy and the whole team) and they welcomed me in like I was one of the guys. The world class boxing gym is truly a church of boxing and Tom and his team of coaches truly believe in TEACHING the ART of boxing. It’s not gym class. It’s not flashy mitt work. It’s the art of hitting and not getting hit with perfect leverage and technique. Can’t wait to train with him again. For now I have to settle for the videos!

My son has been going to World Class Boxing Gym since he was 8 years old. Tom teaches every aspect of the sweet science. My boy has received the best traing available anywhere and it shows in all his bouts! What I love most is the old school atmosphere...this is the best gym there is! When not at the gym, we are always watching Tom's videos and putting his boxing philosophy and techniques to work at home. It has proven to be an invaluable tool to be utilized in my son's boxing journey. I would recommend to anyone looking to learn the necessary skills in order to be successful in the ring.

Coach Tom Yankello is, without question, one of the greatest boxing minds alive today. His depth of knowledge surpasses that of nearly any living trainer - and more importantly, he knows how to teach it. His YouTube and Instagram channels offer just a glimpse of the world-class instruction he delivers in person.

What sets Coach Tom apart isn’t just his technical mastery - it’s his ability to translate generations of lost boxing wisdom into clear, actionable coaching for athletes of all levels. The sport’s richest knowledge base peaked in the 1930s - 1950s, and much of it has faded with the passing of legends. But here, it’s preserved and elevated. I’ve trained hard for over 30 years, and after 8 months working with Coach Tom, Coach Andy, and the rest of the team, I was constantly reminded how deep and layered this art form truly is.

I’ve been fortunate to train in top gyms across California, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Most trainers are solid people and professionals - but none compare to the precision, culture, and coaching intelligence you’ll find at the World Class Boxing Gym. Whether you’re a world champion, an Olympic-level athlete, or just getting started, this is the place to learn the sweet science. It’s more than a gym - it’s a living legacy of what boxing was always meant to be.

From my experience with, Tom Yankello’s World Class Boxing. I have not, felt this confident in training boxing. From any other online boxing instructional video ever, with the fundamentals being all in the detail, it’s a great time striving for excellence here. There’s so much inspiration Danny Bodish, and talent, Xavier Campbell. There’s a great team here attention to detail, you strive along with the knowledge, the community has kept here in Pittsburgh Philadelphia.

World Class Boxing Gym with Coach Tom Yankello is truly an elite-level gym for anyone serious about the sport. Coach Tom is not just a great trainer—he’s one of the best boxing coaches of all time. With a legacy that includes working with legendary champions like Roy Jones Jr. and Paul Spadafora, his resume speaks for itself. His technical knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to bring out the best in every fighter set him apart in the boxing world.

What makes Coach Tom even more exceptional is his dedication to educating and uplifting the boxing community. His YouTube channel is one of the very, very best resources out there, featuring hundreds of free, high-quality videos on everything from fundamentals and footwork to advanced defensive techniques. Whether you're just starting out or have years in the ring, his content offers something valuable for every level of experience.

Coach Tom’s passion, humility, and commitment to the sport are evident in everything he does. He’s not just training fighters—he’s shaping champions and giving back to the sport in a way few others do.

Coach Tom Yankello is a Hall-Of-Famer in my book!

Hi coach, i´m from Belgium, I´m 59 but Still training with Michaël Pirotton.
In your videos, you really transmit your knowledges and your passion of boxing.
As a fan of the oldschool boxing style " slip and slide", I found the informations that I was missing to perfect my stance, increase my fight IQ, develloping new approachs, understand the fight.
With your techniques, I can sustain rounds with youngs dogs :).
Many thanks

As a lover of martial arts and forms of fighting including boxing, I have watched many many people either try to explain or show off their style of boxing. Tom Yankello’s channel is the crispest, cleanest, most understandable boxing I’ve ever seen. And from the looks of it, nothing but winners and champs come out of there. I only train Muay Thai currently, but I am going to travel across the country in June, to go to his gym, and experience and learn what I can from the hands of a great coach, and great gym.

His in-depth understanding and clear demonstrations of proper boxing body mechanics has helped me become a better martial arts instructor.

Coach Tom Yankello is an incredible coach and a true teacher of the art of boxing. I have learned so much from his YouTube channel, and the wealth of knowledge he has put out for free. Watching his students chain together offense and defence is truly mesmerizing. Of course, they are talented, but you can really see the embedded teachings of Tom Yankello in all of their styles. He breaks things down in a way that makes sense in terms of biomechanics and the connection to boxing and other swing sports. His method never sways or changes, rather it’s all anchored to his firm belief in fundamental principles and he returns to that theme in all of his videos. Nothing is a surprise, or comes out of left field, and the building blocks of all the skills he teaches grows from the power of perfecting your stance. His teachings have truly changed my life, and his videos provide people with the knowledge to truly make a world of a difference in there boxing if they are willing to do the hard work. My perception of boxing has been forever changed for the better thanks to your coach. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏽.

Tom Yankello is an absolute legend in the sport and has worked with legendary pros such as Paul Spadafora and Roy Jones Jr. He shares his wealth of knowledge with the world and is one of the few keepers of traditional boxing techniques that are going extinct. If you’re in the area, visiting his gym is absolutely mandatory. If not, buy some of the videos on his website. This is the stuff of legend that your local boxing coaches don’t teach.

I had an incredible experience with the private boxing session. From the start, the atmosphere was focused, encouraging, and tailored exactly to my level. Tom was knowledgeable, professional, and took time to break down technique in a way that was both challenging and accessible.

I wasn’t just being put through drills, I was being coached with intention. I left feeling not only physically pushed, but mentally sharper and more confident in my form. Whether you're new to boxing or looking to level up your skills, I highly recommend booking a session. It was absolutely worth it.

Before World Class Boxing Gym, I was a brawler with a dream and unlimited grit—but no GPS. Then came Tommy,, and world Class Tom was a wizards with those pads who took my raw ambition and sculpted it into pure skill. Tommy didn’t just sharpen my jab—he rewired my entire approach. Thanks to him, I went from swinging wild to thinking like a chess master with gloves. World Class didn’t just level me up… it launched me into orbit.

Big shoutout to Tom for turning a heavyweight hammer into a cruiser weight precision weapon. If you want to train hard, fight smart, and maybe even laugh once in a while, this is the place.
