Euphoria Boxing

Euphoria Boxing is a spirited opportunity to learn the fundamentals of boxing through shadowboxing, footwork, focus mitts, and non aggressive partner drills, all while jamming to funk and soul bangers of the 80s. This class is great for beginners who want to try out some new moves in a supportive environment as well as seasoned boxers who just want to get a good cardio workout in! Coach Katie Singer boxed her way through Brooklyn's mostly 'boys club' gyms in the 80's. The most notable of these was Gleason’s Gym, the oldest boxing gym in the U.S., and one of the few gyms who welcomed women into their space. Old school in her approach, Katie's into technique, using her knowledge of varied sports to illustrate the ways boxing skills intersect with so many other physical activities. Boxing takes confidence - and it brings confidence, too! Katie recently received her USA Boxing Bronze Level coaching certification! When she's not hitting things, Katie is writing and teaching within her scholarly field of African-American studies. Taylor Blake is a local musician and a member of the scribble sound team. When Taylor isn't playing music they can be found playing euphoric sports such as flag football, weight lifting, and boxing in Katie's class at EVERYBODY. Taylor has been boxing for 2 years and loves it as an outlet for stress, a place to feel strong and in their body, and an opportunity to make friends in a non-competitive environment.
