I've been taking my kids to various training programs since I was young myself—my daughter started when she was just 3 years old, and she’s 18 now. Recently, I’ve been on the hunt for the right place for my son. I tried Spatola Wrestling, but honestly, it felt more like a daycare for kids who never learned discipline. These are 10 to 12-year-olds, yet some act like toddlers—tantrums, wild behavior, even one trying to up-kick my child in the head from the ground. Another screamed get off me while running away from my child....it's wrestling. It was chaotic and clearly lacked structure. In sharp contrast, Golden Gloves has been a refreshing change. The kids here are respectful, mature, and look out for each other. There's a real sense of camaraderie and focus. The environment encourages discipline, growth, and mutual support. Most other places I've tried charge absurd fees—registration fees, gi fees, belt fees—only to offer 30 minutes of instruction where the kids barely learn anything. I've been through MMA gyms, karate dojos, even Wing Chun classes, and the sad reality is that many of them don’t really teach children anything substantial until they hit their teenage years. At Golden Gloves, your child will learn more in a week than they would in years at most traditional places. It's a place where boys learn the value of hard work, discipline, and real training. I'm truly glad I found a gym that actually takes training kids seriously.
My son went there for his first time yesterday and he couldn't talk enough about it once we got home. His coach made him just stand back and watch what the boys do his first day and my son was so anxious to get in there and get started he said it was killing him.. everybody is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. I would suggest this program for any child who has a little extra energy and ambition and needs to channel it at the proper place... Of course I have to give a shout out to Mr. Buddy LaRosa. The roses has been a part of our family since day one. So many great memories we're made while sitting around with the family eating some good old LaRosa's Pizza...
