We have found a new and expanded location. While we renovate our new space we are training at the Team Taylor Boxing Gym in North Little Rock on Mac Arthur Dr. just East of US Rt 40 (Exit #142 Morgan-Maumelle)

Morrison Boxing Club is a 501.(c)(3) Not-For-Profit Arkansas Corporation registered with and fully sanctioned by the National Governing Body of Amateur Boxing in the USA (USA Boxing Inc.) as a competitive boxing training facility. Our coaches are USA Boxing members, trained and certified as boxing coaches by USA Boxing and have passed a Sexual Abuse and Molestation background check which is conducted every two years.

At Morrison Boxing you will learn that you can do your best even when it’s hard, even when you’re tired and maybe even hurting a little.  It feels good to show courage and heart!

“Boxing helps you overcome fear.  It doesn’t mean that boxing will take away fear completely, but will teach you to live and function well within that fear.”

Cus D’Amato, Legendary Trainer

“Boxing is a superior workout …  a boxing workout is the perfect combination of cardiovascular and muscle training.  You’ll burn more calories, build more stamina, develop and tone more muscle in a boxing workout than you will with any other training method.  A boxing workout is the best of all worlds…unlike running and biking, which do little for the muscles above the waist, boxing works both the upper and lower body and because it uses many muscle groups, it is less likely to cause overuse injuries.”

Dr. Joseph Estwanik, Sports Medicine Specialist

We specialize in Olympic-style boxing, training male and female athletes for competition at all levels; locally, nationally and internationally. Olympic-style boxing features 10 weight classes for men and three for women. In domestic competition, an athlete must be at least eight years old. The Junior Olympic program is for athletes eight to 16; the Youth program is for boxers 17-18; and the open and elite program are for boxers 19-40 years of age. There is a master’s division at the local level only and it is designed for boxers 41 and older.

Don’t want to compete? We welcome individuals who want to achieve the benefits of training like a boxer without actually engaging in full power contact or entering into competitive events.

We care about our kid’s education. Our young folks must bring in their report cards and if their grades drop they may not compete in shows or tournaments.

We also teach our young men and women to rely on our Father in heaven which we believe will aid them in later life.

Safety

The main objective of Olympic-style boxing’s rules and the actions and decisions of the referee and coach is the safety and protection of boxers.

Safety measures are uniformly enforced in our gym. Boxers are required to wear a form-fitted mouthpiece, a foul-proof cup, an optional breast protector for women and a larger training headgear while engaged in any form of contact training or sparing. This equipment is also mandatory for all non-elite amateur boxing competition.
