We didn't build this space to be a corporate health club where people stare at screens and go through the motions. We built an anvil. If something in our classes, coaching, or culture is losing its edge, we want to melt it down and forge it better. Give us 3 minutes of brutal honesty. No polite filters required.

"Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow is but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day." - Sanskrit Proverb.

These two young teenagers traveled between 1 and 2 hours to visit us for our fundraiser, "Punches and Paintings," and they put on a lighting show!

Moments like this remind us exactly why we love what we do. 🥊❤️

​We had the absolute honor of hosting the Carterville/Herrin Girl Scout troop at The Syndicate Gym today as they worked toward earning their Self-Defense Badge. Watching these girls build confidence, find their strength, and support one another was incredibly rewarding for our entire team at Pharaoh Boxing.

​We want to make sure every young person in our community feels strong and safe. If you lead a school-aged youth group, sports team, or club in the area and would like to set up a similar workshop, we would love to host you, or even travel to your location.

4. He couldn't breathe through his nose. He kept fighting with his mouth open.

5. Round 11: Inoue drops Donaire with a body shot. The crowd goes silent.

6. Round 12: he fights donaire to the final bell. Wins by unanimous decision.

7. He went to the hospital straight after. They told him he should've stopped.
