ABOUT BFS BOXING
A Philosophy Of Teaching
We believe there is beauty in doing things well. In repeating a movement until it feels effortless. In learning not only where to place your hands and feet, but why. Technique isn't about perfection. It's about building habits that allow you to move with confidence, precision, and purpose. Whether you're with us for a single session or for years to come, every exercise is an opportunity to become a little better than you were yesterday.
HALL OF FAME COACH
Ali Rezgui
Savate, the noble martial art of France, is where Coach Ali's journey began. Drawn to its precision and technical depth, he quickly rose through the ranks to become French Champion at a young age.
His curiosity for the sport led him to compete in full-contact, kickboxing, and Muay Thai, while discovering an equally rewarding passion for teaching.
Today, after decades spent coaching students of every level, he continues to share the same enthusiasm that first brought him into the sport. Whether you're stepping into a gym for the first time or preparing for competition, you'll receive the same care, attention, and encouragement.
"Forty Years In The Ring Have Taught Me One Thing"
"Boxing isn't about becoming the toughest person in the room. It's about becoming a little better every time you train. Technique before power. Consistency before intensity. Respect before everything else."
- ALI REZGUI
For The Love Of The Noblest Of Sports
Boxing has never been solely about fighting. Nor has it ever been about throwing the perfect punch. It's about discovering what you're capable of through patience, practice, and perseverance. It sharpens the body, challenges the mind, and teaches lessons that extend far beyond the ring. That's why, to us, it has always been one of the noblest of sports.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Inquiries
Is BFS suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. All of our classes are suitable for beginners.
Can I try a class before joining?
Yes. We recommend booking a discovery class before joining.
Do I need to be fit before joining?
Not at all. You don't need prior experience or a certain level of fitness to begin. We'll meet you where you are and help you progress from there.
What ages do you teach?
Our youngest students are six years old, while some of our longest-standing members are in their sixties. Boxing truly is for everyone.

Discovery Class
What should I bring to my first class?
Wear comfortable athletic clothing you can move in and bring a water bottle. No street shoes are allowed on the training floor, so boxing shoes, wrestling shoes, or bare feet are best.
Are gloves provided?
Yes. We’ll provide boxing gloves for your Discovery Class, so there’s no need to buy any equipment before you come. If you already have your own gloves, you’re welcome to bring them.
What should I expect during my Discovery Class?
Your Discovery Class is an introduction to BFS and the way we train. You’ll meet your coach, learn some of the fundamentals of boxing or kickboxing, and get a feel for how our classes work. Everything is adapted to your experience level, so if you’ve never trained before, you’ll be in good hands.
Can my child take a Discovery Class?
Absolutely. We offer Discovery Classes for children and teens as well as adults. If the participant is under 18, they must arrive with a parent or guardian. When booking, simply select the appropriate class for their age group.
Can I book a Discovery Class for more than one child?
Yes. If you’re bringing more than one child, you only need to make one Discovery Class booking. The $20 fee covers all children included in that booking. Simply let us know how many children will be attending when you complete the booking form.
Can I reschedule my Discovery Class?
Yes. You can reschedule your Discovery Class up to 4 hours before it begins, subject to availability. Use the Manage Your Booking link in your confirmation email to choose another available date or time.
Why is the Discovery Class non-refundable?
When you book a Discovery Class, we reserve a place specifically for you. Because class sizes are limited, that spot may no longer be available to someone else. For that reason, Discovery Class bookings are non-refundable. If your plans change, you can reschedule up to 4 hours before your class.
Memberships
Are there any sign-up or enrollment fees?
No. BFS does not charge a sign-up, enrollment, or initiation fee when you join. The membership price you’re given is the price you pay. There are no additional fees just for becoming a member.
How are membership payments made?
For memberships with monthly payments, your membership fee is charged automatically each month using the payment method provided when you sign up. This means you don’t need to make a manual payment every month.
Can I sign up for a membership online?
No. Memberships are set up in person at the gym. This gives us a chance to go over the available options with you, answer any questions, and make sure you understand the terms of your membership before signing up.
Will my membership automatically renew?
No. BFS memberships do not automatically renew at the end of the agreed membership term. If you’d like to continue training with us, we’ll help you choose your next membership.
Do you offer military/family discounts?
Yes. Discounts are offered depending on the type of membership you select. These are discussed in person.
