Coach Gabriel has been incredible for our 16-year-old. Our son has expressed interest in boxing for some time, and although I had reservations at first, watching the 1:1 sessions with Coach Gabriel and seeing my son’s growth and passion has been an amazing experience. I highly recommend this coach!

I’ve had the privilege of working with Coach Cosma since August of 2023. Prior to that, I was aimlessly watching boxing tutorials on YouTube hoping to one day be able to compete in the sport of amateur boxing.
Within 4 months, Coach Cosma was able to transform me to be able to compete in my first fight!
What makes his coaching style amazing is that he is patient yet straight to the point when it comes to constructive criticism. This has helped me address various mistakes in my game and solidified my fundamentals to learn new skills day by day.
I could not recommend anyone better if you want to learn to box!

I have had 1 on 1 sessions with Gabriel for about 2 months now and I couldn’t be happier. He coaches in a way that’s relatable to your strengths and finds ways to make sure you understand movements before moving on. I am a beginner in boxing and I feel like I am very comfortable in the gym after my sessions with Gabriel

Coach Cosma is the GOAT. Before working with Coach Cosma, I had mostly trained solo with a few lessons here and there. After a few months of this (and a few bad sparring sessions) I decided I wanted to train for a fight. I started working with Coach 2x a week and have been progressing 10x faster than on my own. Coach breaks everything down to the basics and makes training fun. If you are interested in boxing and want to know how to get started look no further. Money well spent!

After a few years of attempting to teach myself how to box, I have been working with Coach Cosma for two months now. In that short time, my skills have increased at an exponentially faster rate. His ability to articulate and demonstrate techniques and concepts in a simple, succint way is unparalleled. I would recommend Coach Cosma to anyone - whether you are someone with no experience or are a professional!

When I first went to Gabriel I had zero fighting experience, now that I've been with him for almost 6 months I couldn't have asked for a better coach. I have improved more than I ever thought I could and I credit this to his amazing coaching. No matter your skill level he can help you improve and understand his information easily.

I really like the gym I go to. The gym atmosphere and people are not pretentious like others. It’s competitively priced. It has that “Mom and Pop Shop” feel to it. Moreover, to my delightful surprise, Sensei Cooper consistently brings in star quality/top tier coaching talent in a variety of martial arts disciplines. Cooper MMA is truly the proverbial “diamond in the rough.”
On the note of diamonds and next level coaching talent, I truly feel that coach Gabriel exemplifies what a top tier coach is supposed to be. Every group and private coaching session with coach Gabriel feels like a “leveling up” experience – whether you are an experienced boxer or it’s your first day. Even in a group training setting, he has this remarkable quality to make everyone feel like he is uniquely focusing on you and grooming you for boxing greatness.
His instruction is detailed, technical, but most importantly, understandable and applicable at every level. He demystifies and respectfully counters pop culture’s sometimes errant views on what boxing is/is supposed to be. Instead, he delivers golden nuggets of boxing truth and focuses his lessons on key, and all too often, overlooked essential details in boxing training.
Obviously, I think the best of coach Gabriel. But, I also think that feeling is mutual among all of his students. These days, I feel that there is so much pomp, pageantry, and not much substance in a lot of things we invest our time and money into. Furthermore, I feel that we are all hungry – starving even – to find that thing that’s really real and gives us far more back than our initial and continuing investment. I think for many that search is over when they decide to train under Coach Gabriel.

Gabriel is exceptional coach. He's incredibly knowledgeable and communicates his expertise exceptionally well.
Classes are well-structured, with each one having a clear purpose. During group classes he always takes the time to give individual corrections to students technique. This personalized attention has helped me identify my bad habits, and prevents me from developing new ones.
If you're looking for a boxing coach who is not only knowledgeable but also a pleasure to work with, look no further.

I’ve been boxing for a few years and coaching for 2. I’ve had only 5 sessions with Gabriel and he has made a world of difference for me. My brain is finally turning on when drilling and sparring. I’m becoming a more intelligent fighter and learning the “why” for everything instead of simply how to execute. While being a coach who will push you, he is also encouraging and makes training enjoyable. Highly recommend him if you truly want to be a good fighter, competitive or not.

As soon as Gabe became my main boxing coach I noticed immediate boost in progression. One of many things I enjoyed about his coaching style is the more effort you put into his classes the more effort he puts towards you. With that he helped me train and sign up for my first fight which went a lot better than expected and I have his mentorship to thank. Highly recommend him as a coach!

Gabriel is a fantastic boxing coach in both group and private sessions. His detailed-oriented instruction emphasizes boxing fundamentals, and he is great at breaking down basic and advanced techniques so they are easy to understand. I highly recommend Gabriel as coach at both the beginner and advanced levels. I have improved massively since training with him.
