The DeMotte Boxing Club has been in business for a little over a year. It was formed as a partnership between myself, Coach Mengel, and Jimmy Holmes. Jimmy and I are both school teachers. I coached Jimmy as an amateur boxer when he won the Indiana Golden Gloves. Jimmy is still fighting as a pro with a record of 18 wins - 1 loss, with 9 wins by KO. Jimmy had always dreamed of running his own boxing gym and I've been involved in the sport one way or the other since back in the Seventies so it was only natural that we got together on this.
The gym is small but we've been very successful so far due to the hard work of the fighters and the help we get from our other coaches, Mike and Ernie. We maintain a family friendly atmosphere that caters to the serious fighter as well as the individual just looking to shed a few pounds and get into shape. Boxing workouts are great to supplement running or weight training. It's a great way to keep your cardio up without spending all that time on the treadmill while we all wait for the arrival of Spring.
If you're a Jasper County, Indiana resident or have easy access to I-65, stop in and see us.
