Testimonials

"Whether you're a complete beginner to the sport of boxing or an experienced fighter, Jonathan Chicas is the best trainer in the Bay Area if your goal is to learn to box. I had 7 years of training and sparring as an amateur behind me, had fought in smokers and even had a sanctioned amateur bout, and Jonathan was able to show me in our first lesson how much I was missing in terms of technique to progress to the level I wanted to be at."
Herschel W.
"I have been boxing for about 3 years in preparation for a tournament. I have worked directly with Jonathan on a weekly basis for the past 6 months and have noticed the greatest spike in my improvement during my time with him. He is a great trainer and will absolutely help you achieve your boxing goals. Highly recommended!"
