All good things must come to an end eventually. In this case, Coach Kolbi has graduated from Kstate and will be leaving The Little Apple. 🫡

It's been an amazing 6 years having her be with us. She started as a wide eyed, athlete who wanted to learn to box. Before too long she was sparring, coaching the beginners class, working corners for our boxers, and assisting with boxing events. 💪🏽

To say that she will be missed is an understatement. We will never be able to tell the K.O. story without mentioning her. She was a great leader, extremely respectful, responsible, and could always make her students feel comfortable. 👏🏽

Please send Coach Kolbi best wishes as she moves on to the next phase of her life. We have no doubt she will keep making the world a better place wherever she goes. 🙏🏾

BOXING IS CONFIDENCE!!! 💯

8 years old and leading the adults class on the run!! He trained hard to be able to do it. He can be one of the hardest workers in the gym as a young kid. We need to challenge our youth. They will rise to the occasion more than we think. He knows age is no limit. It's all about effort, mentality, and self-belief!! 💪🏽

EASY MONEY!! 🗣🗣🗣

See you at K.O. 🥊

The champ is back in action this week!! Sage 'Storm' Rosario will be fighting in the National Golden Gloves tournament. ⛈️

She is currently an 11x National Champion looking to add one more to the list. We got some sparring Thursday and she's absolutely ready! 😤

Story time:
The first time Sage walked into KO she was 14. Her dad brought her in and said something along the lines of "my daughter is a future world champion." It only took me one training session to agree with what he said. She's truly 1 of 1. Nothing much has changed 5 years later. The Storm continues growing. ⭐️

Many people from the K.O family have had the pleasure of meeting or training alongside her during her 5 years with KO. If you're lucky you'll come into the gym and get to watch her spar. Now, she spends most of her time training on Fort Riley with her dad, who is also the Head Coach for the combatives team on post. They stay in the lab together! 🧫🔬🪖

Go handle buisiness champ! The KO Family is always rooting for you!! Remind them the power of THE STORM!!! ⛈️⛈️⛈️

The Man in the Arena:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually IN THE ARENA, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because THERE IS NO EFFORT WITHOUT ERROR AND SHORTCOMING, but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall NEVER be with those COLD AND TIMID SOULS WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY NOR DEFEAT"

- Theodore Roosevelt

Team K.O. competed over the weekend at our Pro-Am show. We went 3-3. 🙏🏾

Hiro led off the night in a rematch against his first opponent. Unfortunately we lost another extremely competitive match. It hurts but will be good fuel for the future. 💪🏽

Jayce followed up against a tough opponent. We came up short in a very close fight. It wasn't due to lack of effort though. He left it all out in the ring. We will get better from this. 👊🏽

Isiah made his debut. He did a great job of boxing and controlling the ring. We got a unanimous decision win. 💥

Salvador also made his debut. We won via split decision. He did a great job landing body shots and being active. 🔥

Abdul brought home a victory. He fought a tough opponent and we will gain a lot of experience from it. He will get better from this in preparation for the next one.👏🏽

We also had the honor of working Matt Medina for his debut on his dad's undercard. Although we didn't get the win, he showed he's a fighter with his effort, toughness, and dedication to training! He embodies championship character inside & outside of the ring. 🫡

It's always right back to the lab. 🧫🔬

See you at K.O. 🥊
