Firelands Combat Institute

Hello All,

We are sad to announce that we will be closing our doors starting April.

We would like to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey the last 2 years. We got to create and share a ton of great memories over that time and are so grateful for the community we had built at one point

When we started this, our goal was to help build the boxing community up in the Sandusky area and give people (especially our youth) a safe place to learn, grow, succeed, become disciplined and have a physical outlet for the mental stressors of life. If we helped even just one person along the way then it was all worth it

Even though it didn't pan out in the end, we can at least say we tried & chased a dream

Again, thank you to everyone who has supported us in this endeavor

Continue following Firelands Youth Boxing Club as some of our students will still be traveling to others gyms for training and will still be competing as well

Coach Kyle plans to return to Personal Training so you can contact him for all your fitness needs!

Didn’t get the result we wanted today but we are so unbelievably proud of you Alivia
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We travelled to Wisconsin to take on a tough test. Alivias opponent has been training 2 1/2 years and has back to back victories at the king of the jungle tournament 2023 & 2024, a silver medalist at Silver Gloves Nationals, last years Junior Olympic Champion and current #9 in the country. Alivia has been training only 3 1/2 months and just had her first fight last weekend, which she won in dominate fashion

Alivia fought very hard today and had her opponent on the back peddle the whole match. With less than 10 seconds to go in the second round Alivias opponent threw a small flurry of punches and the referee decided to step in for a (unnecessary) standing 8 count and because she did not pick her hands up to her chin he waved the fight off thus giving the other girl a win by referee stoppage. It is a shame that there was no third round as anything could have happened but everything was left in that ring today and she did something most people could never do & that it nothing to hang your head on. You have already come so far in such a short time. We are proud to have you as part of our family and we are so excited to see your continued growth and progress!! 👊🏽
On to the next one
