I am very grateful to Coach Ed for opening the boxing in the Annapolis - kids from 11 to 16 love coming to box there, feel more confident, and practice boxing at home. With Coach Ed's training, as a mom, I am sure they will feel confident and alert in any situation, will be able to defend themselves, that is one of the most important skill in our time. He teaches them diligence, resilience, and be passionate about what you are doing. Highly recommend!

Coach Ed is the BEST! I’ve been going to the gym for about three months now. We started with his intro class which was an amazing start to lay the basics. Coach Ed is very disciplined and detail oriented, won’t let you practice bad habits! Class sizes are fairly small so you’re never overlooked. His beginner classes are awesome as he adjusts the curriculum to whoever is there and continues to teach and push you no matter what your goals are. Annapolis Boxing is a very fun and supportive community! Whether you are looking to spar or just get exercise and try something new, this is the place to go!

I’ve been coming here for almost a month. After one trial class, I purchased the 10-class monthly pass—and I’m so glad I did! The energy here is incredible. Coach Ed truly loves what he does, and it shows. He has the calmest, most patient energy you’ll ever find. Trust me, I’m not coordinated and it takes me a while to pick up new things, but not once has he made me feel uncomfortable or out of place. Because of that, he’s earned a special place in my heart—and I’m signing up for unlimited classes! Coach Ed is amazing. Thank you!
