If you’ve got non-boxers who want to use the club to train, how do you explain the effects it will have on their bodies?

"I explain it based on their background and experiences. If it is a cyclist, I might explain the benefit of getting upright, using more thoracic mobility, and being able to breathe better. I look at where that person’s background is and what movement language they speak then I connect the dots to boxing."
