We commenced our journey in 2006, operating out of a unique space at Viking Ship building, located on 28th and Redick in the lower basement. Those early years, pre-2010, were a time of building relationships and relying on direct communication, primarily email, to navigate the challenges of establishing a new boxing program in the Midwest.

 

By 2012, our growth allowed us to relocate to a larger facility at 1201 S. 16th St., a location we proudly called home until 2025. During our tenure there, we achieved remarkable success, fostering a community that produced over 300 state silver gloves champions, 90 regional champions, and an impressive 25 national champions. Throughout the past five years, South Omaha's boxing club has reigned supreme in the Midwest, securing the state championship title year after year. Our fighters, a dedicated team of over 25 competitive athletes, have proudly represented Nebraska in national tournaments across Kansas City, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, Las Vegas, Nevada, Tennessee, Michigan, and Arizona. While we celebrated two national champions this year and continue to develop top-ranked fighters nationally, the sale of our building necessitated a move.

 

We're thrilled to announce our upcoming relocation to Bellevue! We aim to bring our proven Olympic-style boxing training program to this vibrant community, providing a nurturing environment for aspiring athletes and fostering the next generation of champions. We're eager to contribute to Bellevue’s athletic landscape and create a legacy of success. 

 

Despite our remarkable success on the national stage, securing the necessary funding to maintain our operations has been an ongoing challenge. We've tirelessly raised money through car washes, food sales, and various side jobs, but these efforts alone are insufficient to cover the rising costs of uniforms, travel expenses, and gym memberships for children from less fortunate backgrounds who aspire to join our program.

 

Our gym is the only one of its kind in Nebraska, providing a vital training ground for aspiring young boxers. A new location offers exciting potential but requires significant investment. We believe that this gym is an asset to our community and a crucial source of positive development for many young people. We are therefore reaching out to you today to request your generous support. Any donation, big or small, will directly impact our ability to continue fostering athletic talent and providing opportunities for the next generation of champions. Your contribution will help us cover the costs of equipment, travel to competitions, and provide financial aid for promising athletes who otherwise could not participate. Thank you for your generosity.
