Former Black Bomber and now national junior boxing coach, Mr. Charles Quartey has continued his excellent boxing training schedule with the young boxing under his car.
Coach Quartey who has reiterated that he wouldn’t compromise on the education of the children has ensured their training structure would not affect their schooling.
At the Bukom Boxing Arena, Coach Quartey takes the children through series of trainings on Saturdays and ensures they are not over loaded with what they can contain.
With his aim targeted at building a strong boxing foundation with the children so that their transition to the juvenile, amateur and even professional wouldn’t be a problem, he carefully takes the children through the basics, jabbing, foot placement, and movement.
“We do not make boxers in one day. You can have a very strong person but he/she will not last one minute in the ring with a trained boxer. This is why we take our time to tutor these children who also have dreams of their own. Although many will change their course along the way, we will still be able to make them capture the boxing fundamentals. Jabbing and a good defense can win you a title and that is why many boxers are seen to fight less but the little we see from them is enough to give victory.”
With his endless desire to give back to the community and also create boxers from the scratch, it is right for corporate and individuals to visit his gym and on days of training at the Charles Quartey Gym and at the Bukom Boxing Arena to witness the progress he has achieved so far with the junior team.
