I started training at OC Boxing about a year ago and it's been a really positive experience. My main goal was to pick up boxing as a workout and also gain some self-defense skills along the way. I usually attend the morning class since it fits better with my work schedule. It's an hour long with drills with sparring, open to all skill levels. They also run beginner and intermediate classes in the evening. the beginner class is just drills (no sparring), while the intermediate one is basically the same as the morning session. When I first joined, I had zero boxing experience and it was pretty intimidating. Luckily, Coaches Sean and George worked with me at my pace until I got comfortable. The other students and sparring partners were supportive. They went easy on me during those first few months. Over time, I picked up new techniques from drills and started applying them in sparring. Eventually, it realized that boxing is a sport just like basketball or soccer. It's about learning skills, practice, and execute. read more

I've started taking classes at OC boxing with my nephew for about a month now and I've really enjoyed watching him build his confidence through training here. Uylong and Ernesto coach the beginners course and they're really amazing at what they do. I love how patient they are with the kids and all the corrections they make regardless of the class size. My nephew is very receptive to both of them and their coaching styles, i can already see how much he's learned and picked up from them. What a great place filled with knowledgeable coaches who really seem to care. read more

At the moment of writing this, I am about 6 weeks into OC boxing. I simply cannot believe the progress I've made so far as someone who is new to combat sport. I originally tried to learn this from home, but it was just not feasible and proved to be challenging without proper guidance. I tried out several gyms, however OC boxing just had the right vibe. It's diverse with many adults learners, so I did not feel like I'm learning with a bunch of high schoolers like other gyms. The beginner class is taught by coach Uy Long and coach Earnesto, they're both great at breaking down the fundamentals and give you the support needed. I started going to the morning (all levels) and evening (intermediate) class after about 3 weeks and that was where the real learning began because it involved sparring. The head coaches, Sean and George alternate between leading morning and evening class, so the lessons are completely different. Meaning, if you go twice a day, then you would be getting two different lessons. So in a week, you can get 11 different lessons if you got the time and energy. Sean and George are always present in both classes to demonstrate the offensive and defensive techniques in pairing session. The lessons are broken down into three segments, solo drills, paired drills, and sparring with partners. The classes are an hour long, I feel like I learn something new each time and get to apply it. Despite the morning class having fewer people (3-7 usually), Sean and George still put in the same attention and dedication that they do for the evening. I appreciate that the lessons are not repetitive, so it makes going twice a day worthwhile. For a beginner like me, it's easy to get demotivated if no progress is made. However, the coaches here really know their craft and the lessons are never boring. They're also very generous with letting me use their headgear while I was waiting for mine to arrive. I look forward attending the morning class everyday. Sometimes people stay back for extra sparring rounds so that's even better. Coach Uy Long specifically, has helped me progress tremendously over the last several weeks. He's given me a list of tools through our sparring matches that I've been able to utilize and fair better chances in all my sparring matches. The list goes from: feints, infighting, keeping the opponent's jab away, cutting off the opponent's path, keeping the opponent out of range with straight arms/jabs/flag hooks, and many more. These fundamentals have helped me stand my ground against people who have been here longer than me. Coach Uy Long is also generous with his feedbacks. It's very useful to receive feedback on things that could improve during sparring. Whether that is keeping guard up a certain way or keeping the hand out to block the jab, having those one or two additional feedbacks pave the way for the next sparring round. In the heat of a match, most people won't remember anything they learn in class. By having it pointed out explicitly, it helps you prioritize that action until it becomes a part of your boxing flow. This is how you slowly get better at anything in my opinion, applying one feedback at a time until it is ingrained and becomes part of your arsenal. He did this with infighting for me. This is completely unimaginable 6 weeks ago as I recall being hesitant to spar with people. The classes teach you the fundamentals, but sparring is where you get to apply those lessons. At the 6th week, head movement during sparring matches is finally starting to click for me. I'm looking forward to see where I'll be at the one year mark. I highly recommend OC boxing for people who started late and new to combat sports. The coaches know what they're doing and it's the right environment to foster boxing skills if you're willing to learn. read more

OC Boxing - Boxing Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Ernesto Vasquez is my son's boxing instructor. Ernesto is incredibly patient and understanding, especially when working with beginners like my son. His teaching style is clear and encouraging, which has helped my son feel comfortable and confident as he learns the basics of boxing. Ernesto creates a positive and supportive environment where my son feels safe learning and making mistakes. He breaks down complex movements into manageable steps and offers constructive feedback to help my son improve. The progress I've seen in my son's skills, confidence, and overall fitness has been impressive. The OC Boxing gym itself is also a great environment. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, the other instructors, the owners, and other boxers. I've seen men, women, and children of all ages in the gym. read more

Uy-long is a fire coach, I came last year to do group lessons and now I'm doing private, both have great coaching both fairly priced

I highly recommend private boxing lessons with George and starting with 30 minutes. First one is free. He's a smart guy and great teacher. I got a great workout in today with George. My legs are really sore and by the end of the 30 minutes I was winded and drenched in sweat. Boxing is a lot harder than it looks on TV but George is a detailed instructor and he guided me through it. Also, people are nice at the gym. 5 stars, will train here again. read more

Looking forward to exploring this new journey of ours. read more

OC Boxing - Boxing Near Me - Santa Ana, California

The biggest reason I chose to check out OC Boxing a year ago was because I had read about the gym's emphasis on fundamentals while also allowing their fighters to express themselves. Even though I didn't know anything when it came to boxing, I understood that it was important to train under a coach whose philosophy was in line with my own. Fundamentals are paramount because they're the foundations upon which one can build everything else. I've found this to be true not just in boxing but in all aspects of life; understand the rules before you break them. When I first set foot in the gym, I unknowingly came at a time when classes were already over. Despite that, Coach Sean still took care of me and pretty much gave me a private lesson when he could have easily told me to come back again next time in order to make more efficient use of his time. This simple act was a stark contrast to my previous experience in which I had to pay $20 for a trial lesson at a different gym much closer to my humble abode. Rapport between a coach and an athlete is incredibly important and Coach Sean had clearly communicated to me how he felt about the matter. If I had to sum up the overall vibe of the gym in one word it would have to be: Respect. We have people from a variety of different backgrounds coming to this gym. Whether you're rich or poor, an aspiring competitor or wanting to get into this for fun or fitness, I promise you'll have a place here if you show respect. Growing up, I was always made fun of for my name but never before in my life have so many people put in effort to actually try and get it right. This was simultaneously shocking and touching. This is the type of charm OC Boxing has that I'm willing to bet not many other places do. Coach George and Coach Sean have started something amazing and I'm lucky to be a part of its unfolding. read more

This is my favorite boxing gym in Orange County. I've trained with coach George a couple of times now and will be coming back for more. He gives a high level of attention to detail and technicality in his instruction. The emphasis on the fundamentals they teach is something that's missing from other gyms. I wish I had started boxing with them earlier in my life before I had trained in kickboxing and muay thai because I could only see how much better my stand-up game would've been by now if I had the foundation they instill in you at this gym. read more

Just took my first one on one private lesson at OC boxing. Coach George was very patient and extremely knowledgeable. Was a great experience and I signed up right after the session. On the way out another member greeted me and introduced himself. Place seems very cool, and the members are friendly. I would recommend coming here if you are looking for a boxing home. Looking forward to training at this gym and improving my skills. read more

Top Tier boxing gym with top tier coaches. I can't say enough about Coach Patrick from OC Boxing. Coach Patrick has been training my 10 year-old son for approximately 6 months and he has made significant gains, both physically and mentally. Since my son has been taking boxing lessons with Coach Patrick I have noticed my son is more confident in himself and has dropped weight and gained a little muscle. The conditioning and boxing drills (shadow boxing, focus pad training, punching, defense, and footwork) have sharpened my sons skills in basketball, track, and soccer. Coach Patrick is great with kids who want to learn how to box. He is patient, trustworthy, and firm. Coach Patrick's love for boxing is contagious. He gives 100% to the "sweet science" and always gives 100% to his student-athletes. If you are looking for a good boxing gym with good coaches and positive atmosphere you can't go wrong. Look no further, OC Boxing is the place to be and Coach Patrick is the right man for the the job. Thank you Coach Patrick - thank you OC Boxing. Eddie M. read more

This review is long and overdue but I had an interest in learning the fundamentals of boxing. Getting out of your comfort zone can be scary, OC Boxing is a friendly and open environment that helps anyone at all levels. They are there to work and help you develop and fine tune your boxing skills. The boxing coaches individually walk around and offer tips to perfect your craft. This shows the attention to detail and how much effort and care they put into each of their members. I am so glad I took the chance to join OC Boxing as my first boxing gym because it was worth every single penny. Put it this way, Coach Uy-Long who I learned from started off just like me with a slight interest and he fell in love with the sport and is now a coach. This just shows you the passion and care that OC Boxing creates. Small Family place but put in the work, give it your all and the coaches will give you their all. You will build confidence for the greater good. Thanks OC Boxing, you guys rock! read more

Coach Sean is amazing. Myself and a couple buddies of mine decided to get into boxing, which has subsequently been one of the best decisions of our lives. We are all absolutely loving our training with him and our progress is noticeable over the past 5 weeks. I can't express how solid of a coach Sean is, he's very calm understanding and most importantly genuine. His ability to coach and critique accurately allows me to continually learn the "sweet science." I'd highly recommend working with him if you have the opportunity. Your physique will dramatically improve while learning a skill set worth your time and effort. read more

Really awesome boxing gym. Have been a few times and it honestly gets better each visit. Coach George is an excellent teacher/trainer and easily acclimates to different learning styles. It's obvious he not only loves the sport, but really knows it inside and out. He is very personable, makes you feel welcome and because of that, I have never felt out of place in the gym, even being a super novice. I appreciate that you really get a lot out of a session, but not at the expense of learning how to do the moves the right way. I can't say enough good things about this place. I encourage all to see for yourself how great it is. read more
