Why Boxing?

Most people perceive amateur boxing as a dangerous sport, research shows differently.
Let's look at the answers to frequently asked questions about amateur boxing safety:

Is amateur boxing safer than pro boxing?

Amateur boxing is safer than pro boxing. Amateur boxing goes to great lengths to protect its athletes. Amateur boxers must wear a mouthpiece at all times, force-absorbent headgear, and a shirt to absorb sweat and dirt. Women boxers are also required to wear breast protectors. Amateur boxing gloves are designed to absorb not transmit shock. Finally, amateur boxing referees exercise more control by using eight counts and evaluating the boxers throughout the competitive bout. In addition to these things, both pre-and post-bout physicals are required of all amateur boxers.

How does amateur boxing safety rank with other contact sports?
Amateur boxing ranks as the safest sport among contact sports such as football and wrestling and among other events such as equestrian events and motorcycle racing.

Doesn't boxing rank as the sport with the most injuries?
No, according to the National Safety Council's 1996 accident report, amateur boxing ranked 23rd on its list of injuries. Boxing ranks lower in number of injuries when compared to hockey, soccer, gymnastics, and in-line skating.

Our gym is run by concerned area businessmen and involved community members

We are a group of concerned Community members who volunteer our time and money to teaching the areas youth the finer points of Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts. Knockout Factory Gym was opened in the Spring of 2002 solely by local area businessman, Mike 'Snake' Tome. He saw a void in the community that needed to be filled and knew he could help by opening a place where people could come and train to fight and live healthy lifestyles, while getting the attention, training & support they need to compete. He enlisted the help of several former boxers, whom along with himself, to this day train both kids and adults in both Boxing , self defense and N.H.B. fighting.

Although we sometimes accept donations from businesses and Government branches, but we are not affiliated with any government agency or governed by such. Our club and gym is open to the public and does not charge any money to those who want to attend.
