Meet the American Gym Instructors

Steve Franklin, Boxing / Sparring Instructor

I've been living and breathing boxing for a very long time now (over 25 years). If you wanted to talk about current and past fighters, I could probably speak to you for hours. After practicing martial arts for three years, I started my amateur boxing career and had forty fights in seven years.

My fighting weight was 147, welterweight limit. At 5"11, I was able to utilize my reach against many opponents. My weight now is not very far from the last time I fought 14 years ago.

One of the purposes of my services and this site is to spread the word on the value of boxing for self-defense, health and fun. I've been involved in many sports, but nothing beats the physical, mental and excitement benefits of boxing.

What may be on your mind is this...what makes Steve Franklin qualified to help you learn how to Box and experience all its tremendous benefits? Here is a summary of my experience: over 8 years of teaching experience; 7 years amateur boxer (40 fights); over 25 years boxing and martial arts experience.
