Bill Temm: BX1's Head Instructor.

If head boxing coach Bill Temmn can’t teach you how to deliver a punch of professional standards, no one can. Bill’s been training top clients and celebrities since he retired from professional boxing. He’s one of those rare teachers that manages to pull off being incredibly strict and also making learning hilariously fun at the same time.

But for all the laughs, in your first session, you'll discover that boxing is a lot more complex than it looks and that the chances of you actually sparring sometime in the foreseeable future are only in your hands. Another revelation will be that it’s not all just in the arms - boxing is an amazing full body workout, and you’ll definitely be feeling it in your legs the day after a session.

Bill shares with us his story.

  • WHY I STARTED:
    Born in Japan, I was introduced to Japanese combat systems from an early age. A life-long student of martial arts, I have a particular passion for classical Japanese swordsmanship and have trained for more than forty years in Japan and Australia. As well, I have always enjoyed classical western boxing and have been instructing as an ABA coach for the past decade preparing fighters at all levels.

    • Tips for Your First Boxing Training:
    What You Need To Know Before You Train


    Boxing is not just an arm workout. When done properly, it is a full body workout—legs, core, back, shoulders, and arms as well as a cardiovascular workout.

    Upon hearing the word “boxing,” visions of Rocky, loose teeth, and bloody noses used to pop into my head. But when I finally mustered the courage to take my first boxing class, I was totally surprised. It wasn’t gritty and filled exclusively with pro-athletes like I imagined, but inviting, a ton of fun, and a great workout. People high-fived, the music was bumpin', and I left feeling like a total badass. Needless to say, I was instantly hooked.

    So if you’re feeling hesitant about slapping on some gloves, here’s what you should know before you take your first boxing class:


  • Enjoy Your Training
  • Boxing Isn’t Just A Sport, It’s A Community
  • Be Ready For A Total Body Workout
  • Grab The Right Gear
  • Get To Class Early, Especially If It’s Your First One
  • During Class, You’re Going To Have To Be Very Present
  • After Class, You’re Probably Going To Be Very Sore
  • You Don’t Have To Punch Anyone
  • You’ll Need To Get Your Stance Down
  • Don’t Stress About The Cueing
  • Don’t Go All Out With Your Punches
  • Doing “Extra Credit” Can Make A Huge Difference
  • Get Ready To Let It All Out
  • Drink Lots Of Water
  • Control Your Breathing
  • Practice, Practice & Practice
