LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT NIAGARA FALLS BOXING CLUB

Niagara Falls Boxing Club is and has been a positive place of sport and team building in the Niagara Falls community since 1978. We have made our name through hard work, honesty and the devotion of many volunteers along the way. We have always been a not for profit organization that welcomes members from all walks of life. We offer education on nutrition, healthy lifestyle and the fitness disapline to all. We know that our methods work, and these invaluable traits translate into usable life lessons. NFBC makes lifetime ties to many of the members who train with us.

 

 


Our Past

Niagara Falls Boxing Club has been a not for profit sport club in Niagara since 1978. Established by John Degazio, it began at the old Kimberly Clarke Building, moving to Queen and Ontario Street, and is presently at Niagara Industrial Mall.
    
The club is dedicated to the youth of our community, however members range from 11 years of age to over 40. All members have a chance to participate in a sport that can lead to Provincial, Canadian and International tournaments. Every effort is made to ensure all members are able to participate, regardless of financial situations. The majority of funding for the club is raised by weekly bingos at Delta Monte CarloIf you would like to make a donation to NFBC or if you would like to sponsor a boxer at NFBC visit the CONTACTS page for more information.


 

 

 

Our Present

NFBC helps cultivate amateur and professional boxing careers, if there is the desire to succeed in an individual. The staff at NFBC has experience in all aspects of managing and training successful amateur and professional boxers.

Our club has both male and female working together, teaching not only the sport, but what it is to be a member of a team. In our group, it's important for our members to feel that they really belong to something. Our members are supported not only by the coaching and training staff but by other team members as well. We ask that all our members do their personal best at all times. The theory is simple, you'll get out what you put in, the more you put in, the more you get out. NFBC does not discriminate, training is the same for male/female, younger/older, newbie/veteran or amateur/professional.


NFBC in Our Community


NFBC gets involved in the community on a regular basis. We have been, and continue to be a part of Run For the Grapes, Walk for Hospice Niagara, The Rankin Cancer Run, Skylon Stair Climb for Cancer and The Candy Cane Lane 5km for Project S.H.A.R.E. New for 2010 a team will be heading up to Springwater, ON to participate in a 100km, 48 hour Trail Hike in support of OxFam Canada! We encourage all members to participate along with their families and friends. The club also works with the local high schools and community groups. We invite their physical education department to participate in classes to experience the health benefits of boxing. NFBC makes an effort to educate members and parents/guardians the importance of healthy living in and out of the gym. We have a number of physical trainers that are certified and knowledgeable in their fields to answer any questions regarding training, nutrition and leading a healthy lifestyle.  We are also pleased to have a professional A.R.T. therapist at our disposal to advise on proper stretching and maintenance exercises for our athletes. 


 

NFBC On The Road

Niagara Falls Boxing Club is one of the most active clubs in the Niagara Region. The coaching and training staff will travel to any show or tournament that our boxers can compete in. In addition to club shows all over the region, NFBC is a regular participant in the Ringside Tournament in Kansas City, MO and the Coupe Du Quebec in Longueuil, P.Q. All boxers that qualify for these tournaments are encouraged to train hard to earn a spot on these traveling teams. All trips have proven to be positive and are great team building experiences for all involved.

NFBC Fighters have and do represent the Niagara Region, the Province of Ontario and Canada in our sport.

We would like to welcome new athletes to the sport and provide a place where everyone can afford to participate. This can only continue through the involvement of the community, parents, guardians and friends of our members.
