Terence.

Beginner Boxing Coach “The Mongoose”

Hey, it’s coach Terence and I’ve been boxing for 7 years with the aim to go pro. I’ve had 21 fights and have gained experience from across Canada. Aside from boxing, I enjoy hiking, biking, and drawing. 

Back in Nova Scotia, I had a colleague who told me he used to train at Southpaw Boxing here in Calgary, so when I moved to Alberta I set out to find it and didn’t stop looking until I had. In 2020, I took up the job of coach upon request and I’ve been giving it my all since.

Axel.

Kids Boxing Coach

Axel began his lifelong love affair with boxing as a teenager, somewhere in the late 80’s. A respectable amateur run, and a short stint in the semi-pro “Casino Circuit” in the 90’s followed. Since then, he has amassed a world of experience as a non-combatant citizen. Axel studied Elementary Education at the University of Calgary and has had success as a writer and publisher, as well as a myriad of other careers. 

As a dad of two and a former athlete, Axel understands the importance of getting kids moving, as well as keeping them interested in the sport. Having seen action in all aspects of boxing, from inside the ring, to coaching and judging, Axel has a wealth of knowledge and experience to help aspiring boxers and newcomers alike. He has been lucky enough to coach kids and beginners at Southpaw for several years, and plans to stay until he goes out like Mickey in Rocky III.”

Mahmood Hussain.

Personal Trainer and Fitness Coach

Hi, my name is Mahmood Hussain and I am one of the trainers at Southpaw Family Fitness. I also compete in amateur boxing representing Southpaw boxing club.

I started boxing at age 16 and fell in love with the sport since the first day I joined this gym. I have gained a lot of knowledge from the coaches at Southpaw in the 5 years that I have been a part of this gym. I have gained knowledge at southpaw not only in boxing but fitness in general and I always look forward to sharing that knowledge with everyone who joins our gym. My training style is intense, but I always look to make the classes enjoyable for our members.

I push my clients to their fullest potential every class and look forward to seeing them come back for more. Let’s get to work!
