The corner

Records are what they did. What matters here is what they do now: watch your feet, fix your hands, and know your name by week two. All bios below are sample content — put your real people here.

Ray Delgado

24–3–1 · head coach · boxing

Fought out of this zip code before the gym had a name, and has run the corner ever since — Golden Gloves nights, comp-team fight camps, and every Fundamentals cycle for two decades straight. Teaches the jab like it's a language, because it is: grammar first, arguments later. If it's your first night, he'll know your name before the second round of pad work, and he'll still be correcting your stance in year five. That's the job, and nobody here does it longer or louder.

Marta Kovács

Black belt 3rd deg · BJJ

Runs Fundamentals and the women's program. Precision first, pressure second — her guard-passing curriculum is the gym's quiet legend.

Dre Okonkwo

12–2–0 · Muay Thai

Kids' coach and comp-team cornerman. Loudest voice in the building, kindest one too. His pad rounds are a rite of passage.

Sam Reyes

Black belt 1st deg · judo

The reason our takedowns look like takedowns. Runs the Tuesday Fundamentals block and never raises his voice. Doesn't need to.

Aisha Brandt

8–1–0 · kickboxing

Comp-team striking coach and the gym's fight-camp strategist. Keeps a notebook on every fighter. Yes, she's read yours.

Tom Nakamura

Brown belt · BJJ · strength coach

Runs open mat and the strength room. If your cardio quits before your technique does, he'll fix the order.
