Boxing Works opened in 1993. With nearly 30 years of experience we’ve become the premier boxing, Muay Thai and kickboxing facility in Southern California. Within 2 years of opening, we had our first World Boxing Champion, Jr. Welterweight Champion Sammy Fuentes. Boxing Works was originally built as a primarily Western Boxing academy. However, a very open minded attitude towards training led to the evolution of the facility.
Soon enough, trainers, fighters, champions, experts, and enthusiasts from many different Martial Arts backgrounds called Boxing Works their home. In the early days of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) and the UFC, there were very few training studios that offered Boxing, Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu. There were very few studios that had a ring, wrestling mats and most importantly, had the experts on hand to teach these arts. Boxing Works soon became the top training facility in the South Bay for having all these things. We became THE place to train, especially for those looking to improve their striking skills with the arts of Boxing and Muay Thai.
The list of fighters and Champions who have sought out Boxing Works as their standup striking facility includes: Randy Couture, Frank Trigg, Dan Henderson, Vladimir Matushenko, Mark Beecher, Rodrigo Gracie, Lyoto Machida, Mauricio Zingano and UFC Star Cat Zingano, Andy Wang, John Marsh, Allesio Sakara, Mark Kerr, Anderson Silva and countless others.
We’ve also been the home away from home for other World Champion fighters to continue their training while in the area, such as Buakaw Banchamek, Sugar Shane Mosley, Julie Kitchen, Juan Carlos Gomez, Nathan Corbett, Kevin Ross, Marco Pique, Joseph Valtellini, and Chatchai Sasakul.
Additionally, we have produced more than a dozen of our own champions in Boxing, Muay Thai and MMA competitions. Our most recent championship level fighters include Janet Todd (ONE Championship), Jackie Buntan (ONE Championship) and Nathan Ward (Glory Kickboxing).
Despite our history as a facility for world champions, the vast majority of our members don’t compete. 99% of our students never step into the ring or cage, but they are all trained and taught by champions, who have been sought out by and trained/taught other champions.
