ABOUT US
Boxing is a deep and fascinating sport. We are here to make you a champion.
Who We Are
BOXINGHOLIC is a strong, enthusiastic team composed of people who love this sport more than anything. Led by current semi-pro and amateur boxer Mike Slowak, we are a group that includes ex-boxers and boxing coaches with 20+ years of experience
Boxing has its own unique set of theory, training, and technique that can in itself be described as the so called, “the sweet science”. As such, improving in this sport requires you to learn them correctly, while steering away from incorrect ones is an absolute must…
This is why readily-available information on the internet came to our concern:
Incorrect, bogus information on boxing training is everywhere.
In fact, we were stunned by some of the most high-profile boxing trainers on the internet were informing their viewers with incorrect technique that encouraged bad habits and even injuries. With this concern in mind, an unexpected light-bulb moment came from a typical Saturday sparring day, when one of our brightest students asked a simple, yet profound question out of the blue:
If you know about boxing and love it so much, why don’t you share it with people?
That question led us to the ultimate solution to our concern:
why not create our own online platform to teach boxing properly, all while spreading our joy and passion in this amazing sport?
It did not take us a long time to go from idea to action. We have decided to gather only the best and enthusiastic boxers/trainers for our team, in addition to hiring and consulting nutrition and physiology experts for expert guidance. After working 27 days later, we have finally opened our website!
Today, Boxingholic has grown to become a large, thriving community with thousands of passionate boxers eager to learn boxing. Most importantly, our co-founder has been featured such as by the University of Cambridge, Varsity, Bustle, and Total Shape.
