Adult Boxing, one of the oldest and most celebrated combat sports, has roots dating back to ancient civilizations, including Egypt and Greece, where it was part of the early Olympic Games. The sport was revolutionized in the 19th century with the introduction of the Marquess of Queensberry Rules, which standardized regulations such as the use of gloves, timed rounds, and weight divisions. These rules helped transform boxing into a structured and internationally recognized sport.
Boxing has since evolved into a global phenomenon, producing legendary figures such as Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and Floyd Mayweather. The sport focuses on striking techniques, footwork, and defensive strategies, making it both a challenging and rewarding discipline.
It is celebrated for its ability to build physical fitness, mental toughness, and a sense of discipline in its practitioners. Boxing remains a popular and influential sport, with a rich history that continues to inspire and captivate fans around the world.

My 6-year-old son has been training BJJ and boxing at Hicks MMA for a year now. We have seen an astronomical increase in his self-confidence that began within a month of training. He is much more respectful of others, and his overall attitude has drastically improved. Coach Gavin and Coach Hicks are simply amazing with the kids! Their instruction is much more than just martial arts; they make our kids better human beings, and we have been treated like family since day one. If you’re looking for a gym for yourself or your child to train in martial arts, look no further than Hicks MMA. The culture, cleanliness, inclusiveness, and knowledge of the sport is absolutely top-tier.
I have been training in boxing at Hicks for 11 months and just love this school! Coach and his staff work to help you advance in your skills and truly care about each student. The training also challenges you to improve your cardio and strength training. I definitely recommend starting your training here if you are wanting some boxing skills or just an amazing workout.
We couldn’t have chosen a BETTER place for our 6-year-old. Everyone in there welcomes you in as a family! You are greeted every day by everyone; the environment is absolutely amazing! Our son looks forward to going to class every day without missing and wants to be there extra early! Within a month, we saw a change in our son, more disciplined, focused, and very respectful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I have been attending this gym for a little over a month now and cannot be more happy with the progress I’ve made. As an adult with zero MMA experience and a not very active lifestyle prior, I was intimidated to begin a new skill and put myself out there. However, the staff and all coaches are very welcoming, helpful and always try to be fair. I’ve enjoyed both the boxing and jiu-jitsu classes I’ve taken here and am honestly surprised with how accommodating everyone is, even your own classmates! The environment is open, and I have not felt out of place since I started. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to build a new skill or even learn self-defense. You will probably surprise yourself. I know I did!
We love Hicks, our son just turned 5 and has been taking classes for a year now. Coach Gavin has an incredible amount of patience and has given our son great leadership advice that has transpired in his everyday life. Being around like-minded parents that want nothing more than to see their children succeed is a definite plus. Coach Hicks has provided a great space for any child to thrive and build not only technical skills but a strong foundation. Couldn’t recommend Hicks MMA more, truly!
