While you are here, please make sure to check out some of
our recent pictures photographed by renown photographer Will
Stacey here: Will Stacey And be sure to visit his site at www.
willsteacy.com.
As you look into the faces of these fighters, you will notice that
each picture can tell a story. And though each story is different
from each other in the details, they are all steeped in the things
that are important in any endeavor that is worthy pursuit: pride,
dedication, determination, endurance, tenacity…a desire to
overcome and be a succeed in their own personal world. These
are the things that Ramos Boxing Team, or RBT for short, is all
about. Are you ready? Let's get it on!
ABOUT THE COACHES
Arturo "Turnie" Ramos III is the founder and head coach of
RBT. He was an experienced amateur and professional boxer
prior to switching to training other fighters. He uses his fighting
experience to the benefit of others, as his boxers are known for
their great technique, skill, conditioning, and toughness. His
philosophy on training is that you pay the price in the gym
before you ever fight in an actual contest. If you ever see a
boxer representing RBT in a tournament, you can be certain
that he or she has proved their mettle in intense training and
preparation.
Turnie's father, Arturo Ramos Jr., is an experienced coach with
over 35 years in training fighters. He brings a lot of wisdom and
insight to the game. He was Turnie's main trainer for all of his
fighting career. Other assistants are Cresencio Ramos Sr.,
Frank "Pancho" Morales., Guadalupe Ramos, Jesse Duron,
Pete Contreras Sr, Julie Ramos and most of the parents of our
boxers. More info on our coaches click here
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 a
huge truck tire for strength training with a sledgehammer. The
facility itself holds about 9 heavy bags, 6 double end bags, a
couple of speed bags, an area for shadowboxing, and a boxing
ring that has tasted many a fighters blood, sweat, and tears.
WHAT TO EXPECT
As mentioned earlier, Turnie will train you into a competent
boxer. That means you have a solid foundation on the basics
of boxing technique. Let me talk you through a typical,
beginner boxing workout. Please keep in mind that some
people can stay on the beginning stages of their training for
months. Others can stay on this level for a couple of weeks.
Either way, here is a typical workout. You start your workout
with a jog. So outside you go to do your roadwork! The goal is
to work up to a mile a day in the beginning of your workout.
After this, you do pushups and sit-ups. You do what you can,
but eventually you are going to be doing 50 pushups and 100
sit-ups. Then shadowboxing. This is where you will work on
your form as you learn two of boxing's most basic but important
punches: the jab and right cross (or left cross if you are
southpaw). After that we do what is called 10-4's. This is where
you throw 10 punches, then drop and do 4 push-ups, jump
right back up and repeat the cycle. This happens for 2 three
minute rounds. Then you do an exercise we named after the
head coach, "Turnies". The reason we call them "Turnies" is
because everyone dreads them! Basically you start in a
standing position, crouch down in a "frog" position, kick out
your legs and get in a push-up position, do one push-up, get
back to a frog-like position, and then from that position you
jump as high as you can and touch your hands together over
your head. When you land on your feet you repeat the cycle.
Then more sit-ups and push-ups and maybe some jump rope.
Now this is the beginning workout. As you progress we have
other more challenging workouts, but we'll introduce you to
those when you are ready.
ABOUT THE VISION
What can RBT Gym offer you? Well that is better answered by
another question: What are you willing to give of yourself and
what sacrifices are you willing to make for your personal fitness
and training goals? Maybe one day your picture can on one of
those photographs we mentioned earlier. If you are a kid,
maybe you can make your parents proud of you for what you
have learned. Maybe you can find the strength to hold on one
more day, because you endured another one of Turnie's
infamous workouts. I mean, if you can survive one of his
workouts, you can survive anything, right...you'll see what I
mean when you get there! The vision of the gym is to always
keep the fighters challenged and motivated, whatever their
goals are. To never allow the fighter to stagnate or be satisfied
with where they are at. It is a simple concept, but a difficult
process for some to endure. To those that commit to the
process, many great things can be expected. A stronger body,
slimmer waistline, better fighting skills, and more confidence
are some of the benefits waiting many that join our gym. Don't
be discouraged if you feel the workouts are to hard or beyond
your grasp. You may not be a pro boxer, but everyone can
progress. Everyone can get better. After all, the greatest
opponent is not the guy that wants to knock your block off. The
greatest opponent is the one you have to stare in the face
every morning when you see yourself in the mirror. Do you
have what it takes to overcome and to accomplish?
In conclusion
Feel free to stop by after 6:00pm Monday - Friday to sit in on
one of our workouts. Keep in mind we're not Gold's Gym or
Family Fitness. We're a boxing gym. You won't see guys in
spandex standing by a waterfountain talking about the stock
market or a good vacation spot in Paris. We're a boxing gym.
We teach people how to box. That's all we do. BOXING. If that's
what you're looking for, we're perfect for you.
If you're looking to hook up or a place to look cool at.......don't
come by. We hate posers. We accept people who are ready to
learn and willing to take direction. We don't need guys with
EGOS who are going to show up thinking they know what to do
or how to box. If you think you know how to BOX, go to
Academy, buy yourself some plastic gloves a Everlast shirt,
teach yourself. We've been around boxing our whole lives,
over 30 years so we don't need posers to come in here wasting
our time. We've developed a system that works. We have
confidence that if you give us 100% we can make you a
successful boxer or help you reach any other goals you may
have.
If you want to BOX the proper way, start from the ground up,
improve on what you already know, stay in shape or lose
weight WE'RE HERE FOR YOU. We don't have age or weight
requirements. IF YOU'RE WILLING TO LEARN AND WORK
HARD, WE'RE HERE!
I've heard people say they get a bit intimidated by our website.
Don't be. This site is here for YOU. This site is kept alive by it's
members, YOU. Without YOU we wouldn't have a site. Our site
is a testament of what our members have accomplished. So
don't be afraid to stop by to take a look or ask questions.
If you have any other questions or need more information
please call us at 210-380-8955.
