Defense First Boxing
My coaching philosophy emphasizes strong defense before offense.

What People Are Saying
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Coach Cosma since August of 2023. Prior to that, I was aimlessly watching boxing tutorials on YouTube hoping to one day be able to compete in the sport of amateur boxing.
Within 4 months, Coach Cosma was able to transform me to be able to compete in my first fight!
What makes his coaching style amazing is that he is patient yet straight to the point when it comes to constructive criticism. This has helped me address various mistakes in my game and solidified my fundamentals to learn new skills day by day.
I could not recommend anyone better if you want to learn to box!”

— Andy Martinez“Gabriel is exceptional coach. He's incredibly knowledgeable and communicates his expertise exceptionally well.
Classes are well-structured, with each one having a clear purpose. During group classes he always takes the time to give individual corrections to students technique. This personalized attention has helped me identify my bad habits, and prevents me from developing new ones.

One of many things I enjoyed about his coaching style is the more effort you put into his classes the more effort he puts towards you. With that he helped me train and sign up for my first fight which went a lot better than expected and I have his mentorship to thank. Highly recommend him as a coach!”
