Coach Todd
Coach Todd's journey in martial arts began in his early teens when he started training in Isshinryu Karate-Do under the guidance of Gary Castanza at Universal Martial Arts Academy. Under Gary’s mentorship, he was introduced to Zen Sekai Goshin Jitsu, a unique blend of Japanese Jujitsu and Aikido. After Gary’s passing, Todd continued to refine his skills in this style, laying the foundation for his diverse martial arts career.
Upon relocating to Clearwater, Florida after high school, Todd trained with John Ingram at Ingram’s Okinawan Karate-Do. John, a traditional Karate-Do Master and top-ranked professional Kickboxer, played a pivotal role in Todd’s transition into competitive martial arts. It was here that Todd first began competing in various tournaments, blending Kickboxing strategy with his martial arts foundation.
Coach cammie
Cammie's path to boxing wasn’t a straight line, it was a passion that lived quietly for years before finally stepping into focus.
Growing up, boxing was always in the back of her mind—something about the sport’s discipline, intensity, and rhythm resonated. But it wasn’t until after graduating college, feeling unmotivated by traditional gym workouts, that Cammie decided to try something different. She walked into a boxing gym—and never looked back.
Since that first class, Cammie has dedicated herself to the sport with intention and heart. Training every single day most weeks, she’s committed to refining her craft and preparing for her debut in the amateur ring. She has worked with many fighters in the community, from experienced MMA fighters to local professional boxers.
Coach DAVID
David Watz will say he found boxing late in life but has since fallen in love with the sweet science and art that boxing entails and looks for the opportunity to share that with others.
Initially, David had done the typical gym and lifting weights since he was a teen with on and off periods that we often see as years pass. Looking for something different he began boxing at a club and liked the level of fitness it offered while not begin mundane. As each drill is something different, teaching a new skill set or honing one. He joined Momentum Boxing at the beginning of our journey and found the coaches and members inviting and motivating. He looked for opportunities to grow with us.
Coach kate
Kate has been part of Momentum Boxing since day one, but it didn’t take long for her to realize she had found much more than a new way to work out. She found a sport that challenged her, a community that pushed her, and a passion for boxing that continued to grow with every class.
As she became more involved at Momentum, Kate embraced both the physical and mental sides of the sport. The discipline, confidence, and constant opportunity to improve were exactly what she had been looking for. What started as training soon became something she wanted to share with others.
With more than 25 years of professional leadership experience, Kate has spent much of her career motivating people, helping them grow, and encouraging them to recognize what they are capable of. At Momentum, those same qualities naturally found their way into her approach to boxing.
Coach pat
Patrick has always believed that great coaching is about more than teaching skills. It is about building confidence, creating connections, and helping people discover what they are capable of.
For more than a decade, Patrick has served as a youth football head coach in Lancaster, working with young athletes to develop teamwork, discipline, confidence, and a love for the process of getting better. Along the way, he discovered just how much he enjoys helping others grow, whether that means mastering a new skill, pushing through a challenge, or simply having fun while doing it.
After years of working out in traditional commercial gyms, Patrick was looking for something different. At Momentum Boxing, he found it. The supportive atmosphere, sense of community, and encouragement between coaches and members reflected the same qualities he had always valued in his own coaching.
Coach steph
Steph has always had a competitive side. Growing up as an athlete and spending years showing horses, she developed a love for challenging herself, working hard, and finding ways to improve. That drive has stayed with her throughout her life, whether she's coaching, working, or taking on something new.
Between working full-time, being a wife and mom of two, and coaching travel softball, Steph keeps a pretty busy schedule. But when she decided to give boxing a try on a whim, she had no idea just how much she would love it. What started as trying something new quickly turned into a passion for the sport.
Boxing gave Steph another opportunity to challenge herself, push her limits, and tap into the competitive spirit she's always had. It wasn't long before she was hooked, and that enthusiasm eventually led her to coaching at Momentum.
Coach ADAM
Adam may be relatively new to the boxing ring, but he's certainly no stranger to discipline, determination, or a good challenge. A 20-year U.S. Army combat veteran, Adam has spent much of his life pushing himself and helping others discover what they're capable of. Along the way, he's trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, kickboxing, and taekwondo, developing a strong appreciation for martial arts and the dedication they require.
His love for boxing, however, goes back much further. Growing up, Adam enjoyed watching boxing matches with his family, developing an appreciation for the sport long before he ever stepped into a boxing gym himself. Years later, a chance encounter with a Momentum Boxing sign caught his attention. He decided to stop in, take a look around, and quickly realized he'd found exactly what he was looking for.
Coach RACHEL
For Rachel, boxing started as a way to challenge herself, but it didn't take long for it to become something much bigger. What began as a new physical challenge quickly turned into a passion for the sport, its mental demands, and the confidence that comes with pushing beyond your comfort zone. She loved that boxing always gave her something new to learn, another skill to improve, and another opportunity to grow.
But it wasn't just the sport that kept Rachel coming back. It was the community she found at Momentum Boxing. From the encouragement of fellow members to the support of the coaches, Rachel discovered a place where people could challenge themselves, celebrate their progress, and feel like they belonged, regardless of their experience or fitness level.
