Letter
from the President
Hello
and Welcome to the Somerville Boxing Club and Website!
This
is fast becoming a fantastic year for everyone connected
with our club. We found a wonderful location and
new home for our “boxing” community
on Somerville Avenue next to the Market Basket.
Through the efforts of our talented staff, members
and volunteers we have scraped, painted, nailed,
and polished the facility into a dynamic, exciting
“home.” Members come here to enjoy each
other, as well as the unique sport of boxing.
What
will strike you when you enter is the centerpiece
of the place: our ring. It is one of the oldest
in the US and comes with an unbelievable history
of world-class boxers such as Mohammed Ali, Marvin
Hagler, Rocky Marziano, Joe Frazier, and our own
Johnny Ruiz, who started at the club when he was
16. The club is fully equipped and provides all
the equipment for a vigorous workout, and training
with some of New England’s finest experienced
coaches. We even provide video-tape feedback to
for aspiring boxers to study and review their sparring
technique.
What
is most special? It is the feeling of community
spirit that is everywhere, embodied in the members,
the staff and the Board – many of whom also
serve as coaches. Our membership is growing by leaps
and bounds: we are pushing towards to 100 mark.
We have two special programs in one: we provide
a structured environment for “at risk”
kids referred by various agencies and schools, and
a program open to the public.
Come
in and join our growing family, and experience boxing
in a new way. It is said boxing is the most physically
demanding sport. At the Somerville Boxing Club we
go a step further and use it to enrich our mind,
and spirit.
Come
take the step, come join us!
