BFS Boxing

Coach Ali knows what he is talking about and isn't afraid to tell you when you've strayed from efficient and superior technique.

I truly enjoy this gym. Coach Ali is a wealth of knowledge and takes care of his guys. I love how he won't let you do things you are not ready for. He also coached my son for a year and my son loved it and him.

BFS boxing is a genuine, old school martial arts school. The coaching and classes are all based on practical application drills and exercises, with personal coaching and feedback from coach Ali. The atmosphere of the gym and its community is welcoming and helpful to newcomers, with an emphasis on integrity and honestly examining and improving personal ability. I have 20+ years of martial arts experience in various styles and systems, and I can safely say this is one of the best gyms I have trained at. Coach Ali clearly displays a love for and connection to his students that is cultivated through hard work and pushing them to the edge of their ability, inspiring them to go beyond it. Every class I leave with a better understanding of the material presented, and a tangible feeling of having made progress from the work I put in. If you are looking for an entry point to martial arts, or a place to refine skills you already posses, BFS is the place to go.

I've been training Muay Thai here for a few months now. I find that this gym is affordable, has quality facilities, and the classes present a good opportunity to grow skills. These classes are fun and challenging, and you can count on honest feedback from Coach Ali.

Very great experience. I attend here for the muiy thai training, and it is clear that Coach Ali has many years of knowledge and teaching under his belt. The atmosphere is very friendly, and there is a serious sense if community that other places don't have.

Choosing to go to BFS is one of the best choices I have ever made. It is easily the best striking gym in Colorado Springs! Coach Ali is extremely knowledgeable and great at helping students grow and improve. Everyone at the gym is very welcoming and nobody has a big ego, people are here to improve and better themselves. If you are looking to learn a martial art or you just want something to stay active, BFS is the place to go

Been here a couple weeks now and loving every minute! I’m very new to the fighting scene and Coach has been nothing but straightforward and tactical with his teachings which makes him a great mentor and coach. Sometimes coaches need to push you beyond your limits and some people don't like the push, which in turns makes them mad and quit and blame the facility, the other fighters, and/or even the coach. I’m here to tell you, coach is a driven and very passionate man and i’m looking forward to the year of training i have with him!

Best gym! Been to a few boxing gyms before but never felt like they truly cared about your skills getting better. BFS really does and overall it’s a great environment whether you’re a beginner or an advanced boxer. 10/10.

My 10 year old son has tried many sports. He liked them, but didn’t love them. He started at BFS a few months ago and absolutely loves it. The coaches have a passion for kids and knowing how important athletics are for all different aspects of life skills. If I could I would give them 10 stars.

Great Gym! I have been attending Coach Ali's boxing classes for 7 months and my it has gone quick. This gym is the real McCoy, you will learn the techniques and form of boxing through pragmatic & purposeful drilling as well as conditioning exercises to increase your stamina.There is a place for everyone at this gym (all ages, genders, fitness & skill levels) In my seven months I have seen not one act of ill will or word of ill intent.One word to the wise: if you are looking to get into shape, clean up your boxing form, or are just looking for something healthy to through yourself at - come to the gym ready to work and you will find a group of great folks ready to push you to be better.
