The training philosophy at City Boxing centers on developing fighters through dedicated instruction rather than relying on big-name athletes for reputation. The gym maintains a hard-core environment with controlled, professional training where safety is the primary concern. Classes run from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM during weekdays, with trainers who are courteous and focused on helping members achieve their fitness and fighting goals. The facility welcomes a diverse membership including college students, downtown professionals, military personnel, and a strong co-ed community.
The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is headed by Carlos Baruch Ferreira, a black belt under the legendary Carlson Gracie. Baruch brings world-championship credentials and extensive MMA coaching experience, having trained fighters for the UFC, EliteXC, and WEC. His lineage includes training alongside legends like Vitor Belfort, Anderson Silva, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and Paulo Filho at Carlson Gracie's Team and Team Nova Uniao. Baruch is a 2023 World No-Gi IBJJF Champion and multiple-time Pan-American and international champion in both gi and no-gi competition.
