FAQ for EDBA
Q
What is EDBA?
A
EDBA is not your ordinary gym. It is a boxing academy. A place where like minded people come to learn the sweet science of boxing. You get to train like a real fighter (minus the getting hurt part) and get pushed to the limits in doing so. You never know what you’re going to get in my classes. One day might be pure technique and the next might be brutal fight training, but that’s all part of the fun.
Q
What Experience do you have Eric?
A
I began my fighting journey in 2002 and have been an active professional fighter for 15 years with over 40 fights to my name. I began coaching from 2013 and quickly learned my true passion is in teaching people how to box and achieve their goals.
Q
How do I know if EDBA is for me?
A
The best way to find out is to purchase a weekly trial pass and come to as many classes as you like for that week. You will quickly learn what the academy is all about.
Training
Q
I HEARD BOXING IS GREAT FITNESS, IS THAT TRUE?
A
Boxing is truly in a league of its own. To be a complete boxer you need to tick all the fitness boxes, including strength, cardio, conditioning, running, you name it, we cover it all.
Q
I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN PROPER TECHNIQUE AND HOW TO BOX BUT I DON’T WANT TO FIGHT!
A
At EDBA this is exactly what you will get. I have a passion to coach proper technique/body mechanics and put you through actual fight training without the stress of feeling that you need to fight at some stage. I run sparring classes for those that may want to take their training to the next level but they are optional for you to join.
Q
I’M A COMPLETE BEGINNER CAN I JOIN IN ON ALL THE CLASSES?
A
Yes! I have designed my classes in a way that everyone can join in. No matter what level you’re at there is always something to learn. It’s all about learning and having fun.
Q
I DONT WANT TO LEARN TECHNIQUE I JUST WANT TO GET FIT!
A
This is my fav question. If you just want to get fit then EDBA is not for you. I believe in coaching/teaching people all the correct boxing techniques so that you are constantly learning and wanting to grow. You get to build yourself mentally and physically and guess what, doing it my way is much more sustainable and fun. As a by product you will also receive ultimate fitness.
Pricing & Membership

WHAT ARE MY JOINING OPTIONS?
