Butch's Boxing & MMA in Bayside is widely regarded as the best boxing gym in Queens, a true gem and a welcoming community. It is an excellent place to train for both boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The gym provides tailored classes and private training with a friendly, knowledgeable, and patient coaching staff. Trainers work hard with you, offering personalized attention to help achieve your fitness and martial arts goals. They are thorough, flexible, and excellent at correcting technique at any level, teaching you to actually fight and defend yourself. The environment is very friendly and supportive, with no egos, making it a place where anybody can go. It is a family gym that fosters community and empowerment in every session. Members report gaining skills, losing weight, and seeing tremendous results in their body, boxing skills, and self-confidence. The gym is also highlighted as a true gem for the neurodiverse population, striking a delicate balance to make children feel welcome, included, and safe while helping to maximize their potential and bullyproof them. The gym motivates individuals to fall in love with the sport, push themselves to the limits, and become the best version of themselves, often feeling like a family.
I am grateful to all the members who help my two children build self-confidence; they learn that if they make a mistake, it’s okay—the key is to keep learning.
