I knew less than nothing when it came to boxing when I showed up at Ambition Boxing Academy. My mom would never let me do combat sports growing up and my ex-wife said it was "to expensive". Coach and the team welcomed me in and everyone at the gym is more than willing to help you grow your skillset. The gym is everything I could hope for and more when it comes to learning how to box. This is not a fitness boxing gym, this is a straight boxing gym. You will learn all aspects of the sport as well as the technique on how to throw punches safely and protect yourself in the ring. If I could give 20 stars I would. If you think you are too old you are wrong, I am 40 and in love with the sport.
After finding out that my nephew, Mario, is training at the Ambitious Boxing Academy and that the owner and coach is Khalil, I was floored! Not only do I know him, but more importantly, I trained with him for over 30 years at Lee Field House Gym, and before that, we were at Callahan Gym across the street on Gruber Rd. I am honored to have my nephew train under him, and I know from personal experience that he will learn boxing to the fullest! And there couldn't be a better boxing coach on the East Coast. What Khalil knows as a boxer is priceless and was once thought to be a lost art of boxing under the legendary USA Olympic boxing coaching of Anthony Bradley, who has produced multiple world boxing champions and Olympic boxing gold medalists! It brings me a tremendous amount of joy that one of the most successful boxing teams ever assembled in the United States is being taught once again in my hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina!
No words can express how this place and Coach saved my life along with others. His passion dedication and commitment to his family team and community is phenomenal. If you’re looking to lose weight try something new or just want to stay in shape YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR PLACE.
Coach K is an amazing Coach my Son Kingsley and I moved here from Florida my son is 16 years old wanted to learn to box he is learning fundamentals of boxing and a great workout and puts his all into it thanks for always showing up for your team coach K this gym is where you belong whatever your boxing needs or goals are Coach Khalil will help get you there !
I’ve been a member here since 2015. I walked in not knowing a thing about boxing and just wanting a different kind of workout with weight loss as my goal! I came here and got more than I ever imagined! The prices are a steal for members— Coach Khalil could (and should) charge more than he does. The thing I have most appreciated is learning proper skill and technique which will keep the boxer safe in the long run! There are a lot of gyms out there that will charge an arm and leg for you to be trained by “trainers” they pull in from off the street and with no experience. When I did a one year stint in a different state, I experienced just that. If you don’t learn the proper form and technique, you will injure yourself. Might as well learn from a boxer that comes from that real northern (Philly) boxing culture. As transient as Ft. Bragg is and with boxers in and out of different duty stations etc. this place has always felt like home!
