I've been training with Coach Jesus for a few months, and I can honestly say it's been a game-changer. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about the sport, but also knows how to push you past your limits in the best way possible. Every session is a perfect mix of technique, conditioning, and motivation.

What sets him apart is the personal attention to detail, patience and genuine care he puts into your l progress—whether you’re training for fitness, competition, or just to learn the art of boxing, you’re in the best hands.

Highly recommend to anyone looking to level up their skills. 5 stars all the way!

I’ve been training with Coach Jesus at Butch’s Boxing & MMA, and I couldn’t ask for a better coach. He truly loves the sport and it shows in the way he teaches. He has a great balance of patience and discipline, making it easy to learn while still being challenged. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, he helps you build a strong foundation and improve your skills. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated coach who makes training both fun and effective, I highly recommend Jesus!

As someone who has never done boxing it was so great. Had 10 private sessions with Jesus and the lessons were very helpful even as a beginner. I have plans to return in a few month to continue.
Highly recommended

I was with butch and Amanda through 3 locations before they kept the current spot as home. They are the best,most talented and toughest teachers I've ever had. I highly recommend them for adult and youth instruction. They are the best boxing instructors in NYC. My 8 years with them, were the best time of my life.

I went to Butch's last May and was paired up with trainer Jesus
who is very patient and an excellent trainer. I have had to put my training on hold due to a new job but looking to go back as soon as I can. It has been worth every penny.

I met Butch in September and immediately signed up! He made me feel very welcome and he paired me up with trainer Jesus.
Love the sessions with Jesus, he is very patient but thorough and an excellent trainer. Signing up for more sessions in January. If you are thinking about joining a boxing club in the New Year then look no further.

I’ve been at the gym 6 weeks and counting with Jesus as my personal trainer and I couldn’t be happier! 10 sessions later and I have gained skills, lost weight, and am ready for the next round of sessions. Staff and trainers are excellent, knowledgeable, friendly, and work hard with you to help achieve your goals. This is the place to train in Queens for jiu jitsu and boxing!

I would recommend Butch's Boxing & MMA to beginners and people who are experienced in the sport of boxing. Butch's coaching staff is friendly, patient, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. They provide guidance to people of all different skill levels. If you are a beginner, you won't feel intimidated because they always make you feel at home and like you're learning alongside your friends.
I started boxing about 8 months ago and the guidance I received has improved my boxing skills tremendously. They also offer jiu-jitsu classes, which are amazing. Overall, I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get into martial arts and improve their life.

I’ve been at Butch’s Boxing & MMA for nearly 5 years now and every moment their has been nothing short of spectacular.

Whether it’s the warm welcome you get every single time you walk in, or the great boxing knowledge you consume at the end of every class, I can say with great confidence this is the best boxing gym in Queens.

One of the best qualities about Butch’s Boxing & MMA is that everyone is welcome. Whether you’re looking to compete, lose weight, learn self defense, or even just get a good workout in, Butch’s Boxing & MMA can do all the above.

Not to mention, the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Judo class with Coach Mark has been a fine addition to the gym.

I’m honored to have earned a role as a boxing instructor at the gym, but none of that could have been possible without Coach Butch or Coach Amanda.

It’s safe to say that Butch’s Boxing & MMA is the place to be when it comes to training in Queens.

Butche’s boxing and MMA gym is by far the best boxing gym In Queens. I have been attending this gym for a year now and I can say for someone who hasn’t box in years this gym really motivated me to fall in love with the sport of Boxing! Through my one year journey I have seen tremendous results not only in my body and boxing skills but my self confidence both as a person and a fighter! Coach Amanda and Butch are one the best coaches I have ever worked with they are so patient are the most flexible people you can ever work with it doesn’t matter what level you are in your boxing they are the best at correcting them and will teach you if your ever looking for a gym that teach you to actually fight this is the gym! The coaches don’t only teach you boxing they also teach you life lessons I can admit those life lessons that Butch gives us in our classes really motivated me to be the best not in boxing but in life! If your looking for a gym to learn how fight and defend yourself to push your self to the limits and to be the best version of your self COME to Butches Boxing and MMA Gym I’m proud to say that this gym has become my family! We are family Gym NO E Egos!

Amazing People, Amazing Lessons, Amazing enviornment. The first time you ever step in this gym you’re gonna be hit with the impression that “this is a serious gym but everyones so friendly” the first class is free and it might feel a little intimidating but i promise it’ll become a second home. Coaches Marco, Andoni & Gianni provide amazing routines and they each have a distinct coaching style so you’ll never be bored. Not to mention the owners Coach Butch and Amanda are the cream of the crop, Coach Butch provides Life lessons through stories that sound like they should be in movies and Both Him and Coach Amanda’s Technique and Eye for training the average everyday person into absolute fighting animals is astonishing. Could not recommend enough 10/10

Even though I have messed up wrists (it's a long story), I always wanted to take boxing classes. Eventually I decided to try the trial class and I had a fantastic time. The people I sparred with were patient, understanding, and friendly. I ESPECIALLY appreciate one of the instructors, Amanda, who went out of her way to make sure I was doing exercises in a safe manner to further prevent anymore damage to my wrists. I feel comfortable there and that's what matters most, I can't wait for my next class.

My six-year-old son has been going to Butch’s Boxing since March 2021. Coach Gianni does a great job of balancing fun with working out while also learning real boxing. It’s not just kids wailing on punching bags with no form. I never have to push my son to go because he looks forward to the classes. It’s a great place to keep your kids active, get some extra discipline and learn how to properly defend themselves.

My son has been coming here for almost two months and I can honestly say I have seen him become more confident. They teach self defense and how to properly handle situations if you're being bullied. It's such an amazing environment and the coaches are great. So patient and kind always encouraging the children and giving everyone a fair chance during classes. I love it and so does my son ! Would highly recommend to anyone !

Hello My name is Johnathon and From the day I walked in at Butches Boxing and MMA I have been welcomed and have felt great, I started with private classes because I was afraid of being around a lot of people but Butch slowly eased me into the teen class so I wouldn’t feel rushed which I still go to 2 years later and still love, I feel great after workouts and now I am helping out with the kids class and lifting weights. I enjoy the gym so much that I go everyday and try to be as involved as I can. Without Butch being there for me I do not know how I would have gained the self confidence that I now have today. Coach Butch and Amanda are both wonderful people and are always nice and respectful to everyone

Hello, my name is Evan Thomason
Before I joined Butch's Boxing and MMA there was a dark cloud hovering over me. I had already lost 60 pounds, but still I was not happy. Family drama ruled my life. I was not just angry. I was mad at everyone and everything. I was closed off. Things were not good. I was unhappy. My family and friends said 'look man, go to a gym, work it off, God has a plan for you. Keep your head straight. WORKOUT so that what I did. I looked for gyms in my area. There were a bunch of different gyms but none felt right for me. Feeling somewhat anxious, I took a walk. I walked thinking and hoping I would find a place to belong. I turned a corner and there it was Butch's Boxing and Mma, I looked in inside opened the door and went in. I was greeted by great friendly people. I felt welcomed, and said to God you are right this is the place for me. I didn't have any fear about the classes because as you go and get involved in the gym you find out that everyone there are all nice and great people. After the first day, I told my father I love it! Butchs Boxing and Mma helped me open up to people. Now I am as happy as I can be. Working out and getting strong . I don’t let that dark cloud come near me anymore. My Confidence is higher than it has ever been, I have be given a new outlook of life, new friends and a new job.

This place is a great experience for many reasons. I came in here not knowing anything about boxing and with only a few lessons became well equipped. The work ethic in this gym is serious/intense but also makes you feel at home.

I also got in the shape of my life after going here for three weeks. Great place if your looking to cut weight. Overall great experience and glad I am apart of the gym!

My experience with this gym started when I took my 11 year old son in for lessons. Butch and Amanda have created a welcoming, judge-free family gym. My boy felt right at home immeadiately; the training is excellent and he has been eagerly attending for three years now. I was so pleased with his progress and improved fitness that I decided to try it myself. I work out 6 days a week and thought I was going to breeze through the classes, but Butch and Amanda customize the classes to meet the fitness goals and level of each student. I was amazed at how challenging the classes were. I have been attending regularly for about 16 months now and boxing has become the cornerstone of my fitness routine. I love this gym, my anaerobic fitness level has dramatically improved and continues to do so, as well as my form and technique. They have good equipment and a weight room in the basement, with an "open gym" policy for members to come and train and lift when classes aren't going on. I love this gym!!!!

Five years ago I walked into the Gym, wanting to learn how to box. I had doubts if I could for two reasons....1. I am way older than the average person that wants to learn a new skill,.and 2. I had two almost-completely shot knees. Well, from the moment I met Coaches Butch and Amanda, I knew I need not be concerned. I was made welcome immediately by them and the younger guys and gals learning too. Amanda went beyond the call of duty; she was patient, caring, and actually adapted to how I needed to learn. As for Coach Butch, I did and will always respect his attitude about how young people behave in the gym. He trains not only boxing, but respectful, good, honorable young people.

I joined Butch's 3 years ago deseparate to lose weight and tired of joining and canceling planet fitness. 3 years later I'm 100lbs lighter and in much better shape than I would ever be without them. Butch and Coach Amanda are great motivators and have taught me form and technique that have translated into much success for me. The friendly lighthearted attitude created by Butch and Coach Amanda has kept me coming back and has helped me keep the weight off.

My experiences here have been nothing but positive. I learned a lot from Coach Butch as he breaks down boxing into its simplest form for those of us with no experience at all. I also enjoyed joking around with his younger students who were always respectful. Coach Butch does really well with kids of all ages. Soon my child will be enrolled as well and I look forward to it.
06/30/2016 - I wanted to add a small update to my previous review. My nephew went through a life changing experience not to long ago and as a result became depressed as well as overweight. At 9 years old he was out of breath going up a flight of stairs. Training with Butch and Amanda gave him his self confidence back. It also made him physically stronger and finally healthy. He would even bug me to take him when it wasn't his day. I am very thankful and relieved.

Man Oh Man, this gym is the highlight of basically my entire childhood. From age 11(22 now) i started working out and training under Butch and Amanda. Training in all its aspects was exceptional, producing me into the south paw that everyone is annoyed to fight with today. What stood out the most is the gym has the most kind hearted trainers that generally care about each and every one of its members. Butch and Amanda give the gym a nice home feel to it making you feel comfortable and in my case making the gym my escape.This gym helped me gain confidence in myself, introduced me to life long friends and helped me find something that i am passionate about. Thanks Boots and Aman! Love you guys!

I was with Butch and Amanda for about four years training in Muay Thai, Boxing, and Submission Wrestling. During my time with them they were very professional, friendly, and established a positive/family environment to train in. I moved to Arizona about five years ago and because of Butch and Amanda I kept training in martial arts. If it wasn't for them i would have never had the will to keep training. I owe my thanks to them for helping me seek confidence within myself.

I've been boxing at Butch's for the past 6 years training with both Butch, the owner and Amanda, the boxing coach and former NJ Golden Gloves champion. Both Butch and Amanda's experience coupled with their dedication and commitment makes this hands down a fantastic boxing gym for those who either want to compete - which I have and I've won with their help - or just get in shape. It is a family oriented gym unlike any other. Both Butch and Amanda care about their clients and their families. I've been in and out of the gym for the past year because of my schedule but every time I go back I'm always welcomed. This gym is great for men and women of all ages. Unlike other boxing gyms that can be intimidating, Butch's boxing will make you feel at ease. Highly recommend this place

My daughters & I have all been members of Butch's Boxing & MMA and have had wonderful experiences both with the friendly owners (Coach Butch & Coach Amanda) and the other gym members over the past several years (no intimidation at this gym whatsoever...and all members greet each other when they meet up there- even if you're new) I have taken private lessons with Coach Amanda and my older daughter took the women's kickboxing classes with her before going away to college. My younger daughter has been a member the longest & has been in the kids' class, Level I class and now is in the teen boxing class. Both Coach Amanda & Coach Butch are great & work with everyone regardless of fitness or skill level! They are excellent motivators and keep the routines fresh so they don't get boring. If you're looking for a great gym with a fun way to get into shape, go to Butch's Boxing & MMA!
