Hands down but keep them up! Best boxing gym in town! My boy has progressed exponentially in a short time. Coaches are very respectful but demand the attention for the art. It has been the best thing for my sons confidence, and over all outlook to navigate his surroundings and the world. If my boy gets knocked down, he WILL get back up! I would highly recommend!

After searching and trying many sports we found Move or die Boxing. It has been one of the best investments I have made with my boys. They love it. It has taught discipline, sportsmanship, respect for a sport and overall confidence within themselves. Not once have they complain going to practice that’s how much they like coach Cantu and coach Hicks. Thank you coaches for being great with my kids. I would recommend MOD to anyone that wants to try boxing specially the little ones.

My 10 year old son has been coming here for a few months now. The attention the coaches give to their students is outstanding. Teaching them a different source of discipline is key to coaching this next generation of young men. My son has already built so much confidence and always looks forward to showing up for class each week. Thank you Coach Cantù and Coach Hicks for what you’re doing here.

My son has been attending for 3 months and he loves it! Coach Cantu and Coach Hicks are awesome! My son came in with no experience and is going to be sparing in the next couple of weeks. They take their time with each child. I highly recommend them!

It was a wonderful experience to be invited to watch the student sparring sessions. Coach Cantu, Allison, and Coach Hicks are very welcoming and have a clear commitment to their students and their mission "movement with purpose". I personally got to speak to a 10 yr old student that made the decision to learn how to box and has loved it! No better recommendation than that. Go check them out.

My 12-year-old son has been attending boxing classes here, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The coaches not only focus on teaching proper technique and discipline, but they also genuinely care about each child’s growth—both in and out of the ring.

They’ve taken the time to get to know my son, understand his interests, and support his development with patience and encouragement. The structure and discipline have helped him build confidence, stay focused, and feel proud of himself.

It’s more than just a boxing class—it’s a positive, motivating environment that teaches valuable life skills. I’m so grateful we found this place!

Before officially signing up for this gym I called around to gather my options. I had scheduled consultations with this gym and another. Went to the other gym first, seen how they operated, and knew it wasn’t for me. Then I came to this gym feeling a bit skeptical based on my brief experience with the first gym. Right away I knew from the first conversation with the youth coach that this place was the right fit for my family and exceeded my expectations! They build relationships with the students and the parents, monitors grades, and behavior at gym and at home. They command discipline from the youth while still giving encouragement, praise, and respect. They conduct small hands on classes that allow them to be able to keep a close eye on the children in order to offer correction on form and technique. The parents are separated from the children, but are able to see the children closely. This allows the coaches to be able to teach effectively without the interruption from the parents, but the parents are still able to see and hear everything through a glass window. It is a contact less gym, but when the child is ready and feeling confident in themselves, they are able to decide if they wanna step in the ring! 10/10 gym for children that may not wanna hurt a fly, but will have the confidence to be able to defend themselves if needed.

Right from the start Move or die Boxing made us feel welcomed . Coach Cantu was very friendly and gave us the rundown on how things would be. We love the fact that they make kids education first priority. Both Coach Hicks and Coach Cantu are amazing with the kids. You can truly tell this is what they are ment to do, they are both great motivators great at what they do.We love the fact that the classes are small so each student gets attention and help they need .. my 13 year old son just started and he loves it!! He’s learned so much already and is always excited to go to practice. Both my husband and I are really grateful we found this place and we highly recommend it!!

The absolute best place to help your child come out of their shell and become a star!. I enrolled my son and the coaches there have really helped him shine. His confidence in himself is 100x more than it was. The discipline and training the coaches provide is top. Having a ring in the actual guy is crucial ro complete training. I'm so proud of what my son had become from the guidance of this gym . I would totally recomend any parent or person wanting to develop life skills and discipline in a safe and clean environment to totally come check this place out. There is a nice watching room to enjoy your child's growth. I can't give this place a better rating or I would

Love this place ! The coaches are amazing and have so much patience and dedication to the kids. Coach Hicks has such a great personality and a way of teaching that makes it such a good time for my son. Coach Cantu will make sure you get it right and the kids have so much respect for him. Definitely a role model to look up to. They not only teach the skills but also respect and they also motivate them to do well in school. My son has been there for almost 2 months and I have seen his confidence improve so much. Definitely recommend 🙌🏼

My son likes it, it’s mostly away from the summer sun and it is not over crowded. It’s a good healthy place for kids to stay away from video games. The coaches work well with the kids! Oh it’s about 130.00 dollars a month

From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. MOD places a strong emphasis on discipline and respect, instilling core values that extends far beyond the boxing ring. Through rigorous training sessions and mentorship from the amazing coaches, Matt has developed a sense of determination, perseverance, and self-confidence that goes beyond sports. MOD is more than just a place to train; it's a home away from home for my son. With its outstanding coaching staff, and supportive community, MOD has undoubtedly played a great role in shaping Matt into the athlete and individual he is today.

The coaches are AMAZING!!! They always encourage students to set their mind on whatever they plan on doing with their lives. In a short amount of time, you can learn a lot!! My 2 girls have been there since 2021, and they love it!! The coaches don't only want the students to focus on the boxing, but they also want them to focus on school academically. My two girls that go here also played basketball for their team, and the coaches were really proud of them. The coaches also love when students get awards. They print them out and hand them up in the office. This place is highly recommended. 👌

I've been with these guys for a year before Covid hit and they are the best coaches I have ever had.

They have nothing but love and respect for their students and will push you to be the best of yourself.
They will take the time to teach you and make sure you pick up the lessons.

I highly recommend these guys.
