Classic Boxing Coach is Orange County's premier classic boxing gym. Our boxing classes are universally loved not only in Newport Beach, but also in Costa Mesa, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Santa Ana and across Orange County.
What makes us different:
1. Our scientific method - we teach a ‘classic’ sport in updated ways, focusing on clear and technical instruction.
2. Our conscientious, thoughtful and individualized approach - we see boxing as a physical, mental and emotional experience, and therefore guide our trainees as coaches rather than boxing trainers.
Classic Boxing Coach is not a franchised gym chain, but a small training studio with neighborhood professionals.

My son went to classic boxing for about 3-4 yrs. We moved out of the area since but Chuck and Morgan are great.

Classic Boxing Coach is exactly what I was looking for. It's the perfect name for what it is. Coach Chuck and Coach Morgan are professionals with a wealth of knowledge and they strive to provide quality instruction and training. The gym is a clean, well equipped boutique style place where students feel welcome. I had some limited experience taking boxing lessons back when I was 19. Now in my forties, I came to CBC basically starting from scratch. My goal was to increase fitness and learn boxing skills. While going only once a week for the last 6 months, I've lost over 10 pounds, feel stronger and faster, and have learned so much. What's really eye-opening is each time I feel like I'm getting the hang of it, I'm introduced to something new, which makes me realize how much more there is to learn. These guys are incredible. Their skill, craft, and ability to pass it on to their students is really motivating. I'm always looking forward to my next session. I highly recommend Classic Boxing Coach to anyone looking for individualized attention in the sport who want to learn and/or hone their skills.

Classic Boxing Coach is the place to go if you’re looking for a patient and caring mentor in an extremely welcoming environment.
This was my first ever experience boxing, and Chuck and Morgan are both amazing trainers. I worked mostly with Chuck. He took me through the fundamentals of boxing from square one at a pace appropriate for my skill level. My fitness level improved a ton while also learning the ins and outs of the sport. No matter if you’re a seasoned boxer or someone who’s never put on a pair of gloves before, Chuck is willing to work with you as long as you’re willing to put in the effort. Aside from being a coach, he’s a great guy who just wants to see his people improve in and out of the ring. I’ve seen both Chuck and Morgan work with all sorts of people with all different backgrounds and all different skill levels. Whether you’re coming to compete or just learn the skill of boxing, they’ll be in your corner. It’s a great time being in this gym and learning from not only Chuck and Morgan but the entire Classic Boxing Coach community.
Can’t recommend Classic Boxing Coach enough. Thanks again, Chuck and Morgan!

Before I joined Classic Boxing Coach in January, I was unsure about what to expect. I'd tried other programs before but never found the right fit. But from the moment I walked through the doors, I knew this place was different. The coaches, Morgan and Chuck, created a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
The programs are tailored to individual needs and are both challenging and engaging. I never felt out of place, even as a beginner. What's more impressive is the noticeable progress I made in just a few months. By focusing on proper technique, consistent training, and a supportive community, I lost 30 pounds and gained a new level of fitness and confidence.
If you're on the fence about trying out Classic Boxing Coach, don't hesitate. This place offers something unique and effective, a combination that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether you're looking to lose weight, improve your boxing skills, or find a supportive community, Classic Boxing Coach is the place to be. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Seriously the best boxing coach you could ask for. I've been coming to Chuck for about a year now and I learn so much from him. I'm a bit of a slow learner and often struggle to get an idea down the first time, but Chuck has been so supportive and helpful in making sure these concepts and fundamentals click in my head. Chuck is a great teacher and truly loves what he does. If you were interested in learning boxing, I don't think there's anyone else that can provide you with a better learning environment.
Thank you Chuck!

I’ve been working out with the team at Classic Boxing Coach for over 2 years now. They have a great facility that is conveniently located off the 73 for easy access from both North and South Orange County. The coaches are knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to honing in on your craft. If you’re looking to learn how to box and get a solid workout, I highly recommend giving them a try.

I’ve been training at this gym for about a year now and I’m super grateful to even have found it in the first place. I was looking for a place that wasn’t focusing on getting in good cardio with boxing gloves on. I wanted to learn how to BOX. I wanted to know technique, form, footwork, etc. This gym is awesome especially for those looking to learn with a hands on coaching and training experience. You don’t find this setup everywhere. The comradery you have with your fellow gym goers and the trainers is something special! It feels like another family. Everyone wants to get better at their craft and be better as a person and that’s why I keep going!

Comparing a Title boxing gym to Classic Boxing Coach is like comparing McDonald's to In-n-Out.
The coaches at CBC know what they're doing and they all have something of value to bring to the table. I've had the pleasure of training with Chuck, Morgan and Max. They all have great attitudes and are very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is excellent, everyone's friendly and welcoming.
Whether your goal is to get fit or get "ring-ready", the coaches at CBC will work with you to develop a plan to achieve your goal.

Before I was merely a boxing fan but after a year of training with CBC I feel confident in my abilities in the ring.
Comparing a Title boxing gym to Classic Boxing Coach is like comparing McDonald's to In-n-Out.
Also, I don't know what that other reviewer is talking about, "not kid friendly"? I see young children in there all the time having the time of their lives. They play whilst learning fundamental skills.
You have to check it out for yourself. Schedule a trial session and you'll see what I mean.

Lors de mon arrivée en Californie, je me suis mis à la recherche d’un club de boxe focalisé, non pas sur le fitness et le cardio’, mais l’apprentissage des techniques et la pratique. « Classic Boxing Coach » a répondu, jusqu’à présent, à mes attentes – et plus encore.
Les entraineurs, Max, Morgan & Chuck, sont excellents. Ils ont leurs spécificités, dans leur manière s’enseigner – cela apportant une certaine fraicheur aux cours –, mais partagent cet enthousiasme contagieux, cette pédagogie et expertise prompte à faciliter l’apprentissage. Ils sont attentifs à vos progrès et communiquent entre eux, maintenant ainsi une cohérence dans l’enseignement quand bien même vous eussiez changé d’entraineur de temps à autre.
Ils n’hésiteront jamais à discuter avec vous les techniques ou même à les revisiter, si nécessaire.
Le programme est simple. Les cours durent une heure et évolueront au fil des séances, i.e. les premiers enseignements porteront sur les fondamentaux – positionnement, etc. – et les différents coups – comment les effectuer correctement, gérer l’espace, etc. Ces derniers seront ensuite intégrés dans des combinaisons, et couplés à des techniques de défense. L’opportunité se présentera rapidement de les mettre en application dans des combats amicaux contre d’autres étudiants. En effet, la formule la plus populaire de « Classic Boxing Coach » est le cours ‘semi-privé’.
Dans cette formule, les cours ne se font pas en 1 vs. 1 avec l’entraineur, mais en groupes d’un à quatre étudiants pour un coach. Les séances sont partagées entre entrainement en tête à tête avec le coach – à hauteur de deux – trois rounds par séance – et pratique sur les sacs ou ‘sparring’. L’intérêt de cette formule réside dans la présence d’autres étudiants. Leur motivation est communicative et, souvent, nous pousse à donner le meilleur de nous-même. Ils sont aussi d’excellent conseil.
Deux aspects restent à mentionner : (i) « Classic Boxing Coach » requiert un effort, tant à l’entrainement qu’en dehors. Venir en dilettante ne permet pas d’en profiter pleinement ; de plus, (ii) le prix des séances n’est pas négligeable. Néanmoins, l‘investissement, tant physique que financier, en vaut largement la peine.

Se volete padroneggiare l’arte della boxe, Classic Boxing Coach è il posto che fa per voi! Ho avuto modo di allenarmi con Chuck e Morgan, e devo dire che il loro metodo di insegnamento è eccellente, fluido ed intuitivo. Entrambi i coach riuscirebbero a far appassionare chiunque alla boxe.
Le lezioni sono fortemente incentrate sull’aspetto tecnico, e ad ogni sessione si ha la certezza di imparare qualcosa in più, così come di consolidare quello che si è appreso in precedenza (oltre a bruciare tante calorie!). Ogni allenamento è infatti calibrato sulla base delle proprie esigenze. Si viene seguiti costantemente con attenzione, ed i coach sono sempre disponibili a chiarire qualunque dubbio possiate avere sui concetti insegnati, ed allo stesso tempo fornire nuovi spunti per migliorarsi. L’aspetto secondo me più innovativo ed appassionante di questo programma di boxe è come le tecniche vengano scomposte nei minimi dettagli, per poi essere collegate tra loro in maniera organica, evidenziando il filo conduttore che lega le mosse più semplici a quelle più complesse.
Sono sempre impaziente che arrivi la lezione successiva, sento di migliorare ogni volta e trovo stimolante il fatto di essere circondato da persone che come me vogliono imparare e allo stesso tempo divertirsi!

Had to get a refund. The facility is not kid friendly, not welcoming. Chuck told me to bring my kid somewhere else, and to bring him back when he's less inspired. Never would recommend this place

I began going to Classic Boxing Coach two months ago, and I've been loving it ever since! I had no experience with boxing prior to joining and unsure of what to expect. I was worried that the training would be too demanding and stressful to fit into my busy schedule. However, these concerns were quickly dashed when I started the program. The staff at Classic Boxing Coach are encouraging, knowledgeable, and accommodating; they make it easy and fun to train at the gym.
This isn't to say that the training is light. The coaches here make you work hard in and out of the sessions. They expect you to put in effort every day, but they also make sure you have fun while you do it. I take semi-private boxing sessions, and yet I find myself always receiving unique training specific to my needs at each session. They take time to listen to my questions and give me advice on both boxing technique and fitness training. And it works! I've lost 10 lb since I started (and I wasn't in bad shape to begin with!)
I've been loving the program here at Classic Boxing Coach. I'm in the best shape of my life and boxing is becoming one of my biggest passions. It's a great time, and I don't plan to stop any time soon.

Várias academias hoje em dia oferecem aulas de boxe, mas esta foi a única em Orange County que não focava somente em condicionamento e sim em treinamento técnico também. Os fatores distintos e diferentes de outros lugares foram a limpeza do lugar, o número pequeno de alunos por aula (máximo 4 - ótimo para iniciantes e intermediários) e a personalidade amigável de ambos os treinadores. Foram o carisma e a maneira profissional de Chuck que selaram a minha inscrição a esta ótima academia.

I was traveling for business from the East Coast and needed an opportunity to get some exercise and try something new! I had never tried boxing before and came across Classic Boxing Coach. What an amazing day!
Within the first five minutes I was hooked! Classic boxing coach’s trainers really bring you in and help you focus and make you feel comfortable trying a new sport like boxing. The gym is very simple which also makes it easy to work in a team or work individually. I can also tell that the season boxers that I saw in the gym we’re getting an experience of a lifetime!
I was able to participate in several of the group boxing classes and all of the students raved about this gym and were willing to help me get to their level as quickly as possible.
I would highly recommend being a part of this experience for either someone like myself who is traveling through or for anyone that is in the area and looking for a true boxing experience at it’s finest extent.

I can't say enough positive things about Classic boxing. I have been to other gyms in the past where you would work with a "trainer" on different skills. The majority of the previous gyms I would be shown how to throw a jab, and then was told to work on that for 3 weeks etc.
With Chuck he takes you through a very systematic program. Each skill is practiced and then built on. I have only been with him for 6 months and I cannot believe the amount I have learned, as well as the changes to my body. I am very comfortable in the ring, and am starting to realize my own style, which Chuck is helping me build. I would recommend Classic boxing to any family member or friend.

Chuck is a great coach and a fun guy to train with. I would suggest Classic Boxing both for folks looking for an intense workout and those interested in getting in the ring. Try out the trial class - you won't regret it.

I cannot speak highly enough of Classic Boxing Coach. It begins with the atmosphere; the overall vibe of the gym is absolutely perfect for a great workout and to build upon my skills. Then there’s Chuck! I have the utmost respect for this man. He is intelligent, knows his craft and what he’s doing and is incredibly patient in explaining tactics. I have been boxing for about a year and have learned more in the 2-3 month here than anywhere else I have been. I recommend him to everyone and cannot speak any more highly of this Gym.

Great Instructor! If you want to learn the techniques of boxing, this is the instructor. Been with Chuck since July and contract up every 6 months. He'll analyze your moves and work those areas that are lacking. Learned that boxing is a very technique oriented sport. Getting the body to apply those techniques is the goal, but it is harder than it looks. When sparring, he emphasizes both offensive and defensive movements so that you become comfortable and relaxed. It's not an all out brawl.
Try it out...great work out plus you'll learn how to defend yourself.

I've boxed competitively with 4 different coaches. Chuck has been the best coach so far. It seemed easier to make improvements and advance in the sport with Chuck because of his technical expertise and care in tailoring a program that suited me.
He also has high service standards.

I started boxing lessons with Chuck about 8 months ago. With no prior boxing or martial arts experience, I had no idea what to expect when walking into a boxing gym. I started my search online, looking at reviews and prices. Luckily, I decided to try out Classic Boxing Coach and struck gold.
Although not fancy or over-the-top, the gym has all the equipment one would need (at least from what I can tell). It's never too crowded but also never lacks energy. All of the other trainers and members that I have met have been warm and welcoming, always willing to chat or share a funny story. When walking into a boxing gym for the first time ever, I expected an intimidating, intense, and cold competitive environment; yet this gym offers a hard-training atmosphere with only positive vibes and good spirits.
Chuck is an amazing trainer. I think the best thing about his training is his positive and energetic attitude. He is one of those people who is always present in the moment. He puts his focus and attention onto whomever he is training. He brings in the perfect blend of mental and physical toughness. Chuck explains the sport both philosophically and technically, while still putting the athlete through hard physical workouts.
The training experience at Classic Boxing Coach comes with a great balance between training and fighting. There is enough sparring to create excitement and anxiety (if one chooses to spar), but not so much that each week is an all-out fierce battle with other members.
Overall, I've had an incredible experience so far at this gym. I've learned the technical aspects of boxing, had great and grueling workouts, and had some good battles in the ring. Chuck is a great coach and an even better person. He always puts the clients first. I highly recommend this gym for anyone thinking about starting boxing or switching gyms.

This place has such a friendly environment. No one here is trying to prove anything, just quality men and women learning some boxing.
Chuck is a great coach. He definitely has this broken down to a science. I believe this guy could write a school text book on boxing. It's mind blowing that he has so much technique to teach, and when he teaches it is so clear and easy to understand. I've been to a few other gyms in the area but I'm most satisfied with this one.

I trained with Coach Chuck for 3 weeks while traveling on business in Costa Mesa. Having boxed recreationally for many years, I have trained with coaches in many different cities, including trainers of world champions and US Olympic team coaches. Chuck is the real thing: he has excellent technique, and a deep knowledge of the mechanics and strategies of boxing. He helped me with my footwork, and set a challenging pace that kept me striving and improving my technique. He is an excellent mitt holder, and a very nice, intelligent man. He was always respectful and never condescending, which I especially appreciate, since as a middle-aged woman, I sometimes encounter coaches with pre-conceptions about my abilities and potential. I believe I can keep growing as a boxer, and Chuck helped me to do that. The workouts were always well- structured, but not rigid.I would recommend Chuck as a coach to people at any level, including beginners, who want to learn to do it right!

Chuck is the best coach ever ! I wanted to get into boxing for a long time and as a beginner, Chuck's training prepares me both mentally and physically. He is precise, knowledgeable, motivating, enthusiastic, and just an excellent coach/person. The training sessions are fabulous because Chuck gives excellent instructions and guides you every step towards the goal. The work outs are intense but at the same time they are fulfilling. Chuck not only provides great knowledge to the sports of boxing, he also has great understanding about nutrition, weight-loss, and how the body works. When I told Chuck I wanted to lose weight, he asked me to write him a diary of what I eat. After going over my diary, Chuck wrote me a three-page long essay documenting all the things I can do to help enhance my health. That speaks a lot about Chuck because he doesn't see you as a client but see you as a friend and he wants you to succeed. I have lost 10 pounds since I started a month and half ago.
What made Chuck's Classic Boxing stands out from all the other gyms is definitely the atmosphere. It's a family here. The people at the gym are friendly and Chuck made everyone interact so well.
I now see Chuck not only as my coach but as a very good friend of mine. I will definitely recommend Classic Boxing to anyone who is interested in Boxing or just wants to get healthy. Chuck is the man !

Chuck是我學拳這麼多年以來,遇到最好的教練!
從高中畢業開始接觸武術,一開始是學散打,大二開始專注於拳擊,
換了幾個教練,甚至也跟體院拳擊隊的一起暑訓過,越練越覺得無趣就開始慢慢不練了。
但是到了美國之後,我覺得應該繼續我人生的興趣我的熱情,google了個拳擊教練,就找到Chuck,和他練了整整一年,學到了以前完全沒學到的東西,Chuck是個非常難得並且不可多得的教練,他知道我的打法,也知道我的程度和弱項,就此為我設計了許多組合拳,和許多場上的戰略--這點非常難得!並且因為我是飛行員,在和Chuck學習拳擊的過程中,也學到放鬆並且冷靜又快速的思考,這對飛行員實在有幫助,我甚至覺得這對任何人都有幫助!
這一年來我感覺到前所未有的進步,並且我學得很快樂!和同學的感覺就像一個家庭般。
回想我之前遇到的教練大都希望學生用他的打法,或是光出拳卻不用腦袋,這完全抹煞了拳擊的樂趣也偏離拳擊的意義。
如果你跟我一樣內心其實很愛拳擊但是因為某些因素而中斷,找Chuck,他會幫你,對自己的興趣付出才對得起自己的人生。

Chuck is an incredible coach. He's present, clear, fun, and leaves me feeling like a solid foundation to work with and fundamentals to practice during the week. He gets me absolutely smoked in my muscles that I did not even realize had to do with boxing!
I can honestly tell my friends and family about Classic Boxing with enthusiasm to sign up because Chuck is the real deal! And don't worry about sparring (unless that is where you want to go >KaPow).
