RAMOS BOXING 101
There's no possible way ONE coach can "know it all". Boxing along with most things in life are part of the ever changing
evolution of technology. As coaches and boxers we must understand this. One of the things all coaches must have is
plain common sense. A former world champion or successful boxer will not always make a good coach. One of the key
ingredients of becoming a good coach is having plain common sense and understanding the nature of the sport.
Anyone with a brain should understand that the sport of boxing is about hitting and NOT getting hit. Anyone who thinks
it's ok to receive a punch to give one is a liability to the sport.

The Ramos name has been involved in boxing since the early 70's starting in Laredo, TX and since the mid 70's here in
San Antonio.

Arturo Ramos introduced Arturo Jr. to the sweet science in the mid 60's. After the death of Arturo Sr. in the 1972 Arturo
Jr. decided to take up the sport  to help him deal with the death of his father. Arturo Jr became head of household at the
age of 18. He dedicated his late teens to raising his younger brothers, Fransico, Pedro sisters, Lety, Mari and Rosi. All
graduates of Lanier High School. Arturo Jr. was unable to graduate due to his long work hours and schedule.

ABOUT THE BOXERS
Ask each fighter what Ramos Boxing Team means to them, and you probably will get a different story each time. Each
person has their own particular reason for training at RBT. Some just want to stay active. Some want to lose weight.
Some aspire to become professional fighters. We have even had some Mixed Martial Arts fighters come to our gym to
sharpen their punching skills. And still others choose RBT to workout with their family in a fun, challenging, motivating
environment. You don't want to spar? Not a problem. RBT recognizes that not everyone that steps foot into a boxing
gym is going to want to become a full-fledged fighter. Ohhh…but maybe you do want to fight! Don't dismay, there are
many opportunities for you as well. Many of RBT fighters compete in regional, national, and even international
tournaments. If you have what it takes to give yourself to the sport, and face the challenges therein, then you will find a
place for yourself at RBT. OUR BOXERS

ABOUT THE GYM
Make no mistake about it. RBT Gym is a boxing gym through and through. You get no amenities here. However, what
RBT Gym may lack in the comforts of other gyms, where you are contractually liable for a year or two, we more than
make up for that with a no-nonsense approach to training. What you will find that you may not see at any air-conditioned
facility is a hard-work ethic that reflects the blue-collar roots of the Southside of San Antonio. The gym itself sits on 3.5
acres of land purchased by the head coach himself in 1995. (In 2005 Hector Ramos (younger brother) purchased the house next
door. His backyard serves as our track). Outside, in the back of the gym is a jogging track for your roadwork, agility drills,
plyometrics, sprints,  etc. and huge truck tires for strength training with a sledgehammer.  The facility itself holds about
10 heavy bags, 6 double end bags, a couple of speed bags, an area for shadowboxing, and two boxing rings that have
tasted many fighters blood, sweat, and tears.

Our boxing library includes over 300 VHS tapes (6 hours long) of boxing history in Texas. Many of our videos
are a behind the scenes look at the boxing community.

Some of our video archives includes:
A behind the scenes look at the aftermath of Robert Quiroga vs Akeem Anifowoshe

Dirrell, Marcus Johnson and even a few of current coaches. As I transfer these videos I will post them in our
A brief introduction into the teachings & experiences of Ramos
Boxing. The opinions shared are based on our long history in
the sport. The drills and boxing philosphy are all based on our
experiences. After being involved in the sport for over 40
years it is obvious that there is no CORRECT way of training.

Although there are some basic essentials to become a
sucessful boxer all coaches will approach their training
differently. Many coaches will coach up to the level of their
experience.This does not mean all coaches MUST have
experienced the sport as boxers in order to become good
coaches. In order to become a coach one has to be humble
and understand that no matter what level of experience one
has as a boxer and/or coach NEVER stops learning.
