ATLAS BOXING CLUB was first named as such because of the ethnic diversity my dad, Adrian Teodorescu, encountered when he was hired to be head coach of team Canada in 1984. He said it felt like having access to athletes of every shape and size and ethnic origin, which he was only exposed to at international Boxing Tournaments. My dad could barely speak English when he arrived but everybody on the team at the time made him feel like they could understand everything he said :) l...uckily he was also a great fighter in his day and able to accutately demonstrate what he was trying to say. I grew up surrounded by people of every denomination and have always looked at people without considering race. It's all about personality and actions, but I was lucky to be raised in such a multicultural business. Which I hope to continue to honor with the Atlas Boxing name. The Baltimore Ravens statement seems to encompass the right feelings about racism: With yet another example of racial discrimination with the shooting of Jacob Blake, and the unlawful abuse of peaceful protesters, we MUST unify as a society. It is imperative that all people regardless of race, religion, creed or belief come together to say, 'Enough is enough!' This is bigger than sports. Racism is embedded in the fabric of our nation's foundation and is a blemish on our country's history. If we are to change course and make our world a better place, we must face this problem head-on and act now to enact positive change. It is time to accept accountability and acknowledge the ramifications of slavery and racial injustice. Though we cannot right all the wrongs of our country's history, we can: Arrest and charge the police officers responsible for Breonna Taylor's killing and the shooting of Jacob Blake. Demand that Senator Mitch McConnell bring the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020 to the Senate floor for vote. End qualified immunity; require body cameras; ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants; hold police accountable in court; establish a framework to prohibit racial profiling at federal, state, and local levels Pls check out the whole statement online. #blacklivesmatter #stopracism

An article written by our very own Matty Mayhem :) Written by a Boxer about Boxing clubs in this Crisis and specifically our club Atlas

Due to the COVID-19 Crisis we have had to CLOSE our location at 100 Bridgeland Ave. & will be RE-OPENING in SEPTEMBER 2020 after we secure a new location. Our apologies to ALL of our current members and Boxers but the continued bullying by our landlord became unbearable. But please rest assured that we WILL continue to provide classes & training in some format once public spaces re-open and will be presenting that schedule in the coming weeks. And ALL memberships at the NEW ...location will compensate you for the missed time due to the crisis and the time we need to find a new place. Our Atlas family is healthy and has endured changing locations before. Indeed, we are lucky this time to have most of our equipment in storage. But will need to get some new equipment as we re-start at a new spot. Definitely we look forward to getting back to work and will be available & trying to speak with all of our members in the weeks until things re-open. Thank you to ALL of you for your continued support during these unprecedented days! Wishing you all continued health & safety in the months ahead.

Some workout tips from @fearless_boxing_ Five exercises to do with just a tennis ball! 1. Hand to hand jab cross, focusing on rotating the back foot on the cross and stomping the front foot on the jab... 2. Hand to hand jab cross with a bounce-focusing on snapping out the hand to the ball, closing it on the ball and returning it fast 3. Hand to hand with bounce and spin-working on the vestibular system and finding the target as fast as possible 4. Juggling, for hand and eye coordination 5. Bounce on closed fists while moving around, working on hand and eye coordination. If you can do all the drills, tag @atlas_boxing @fearless_boxing_ in your stories!

ATLAS in Action! Over the weekend. On Saturday night we had 3 boxers fighting on the No Excuse Boxing Club show in Burlington. Started the night off with a Bang! MATTY MAYHEM DIONNE back in the ring WINS with a TKO in the 2nd round over a very tough Angelo Bambaloi from Scarberian. Next fights were near the end of the event versus the Hometown boxers. JAMES MCBEAN in his first full length bout went to the stacks and was very aggressive in his attack. Maybe a bit too much so a...nd he was caught missing a few times and that was enough to lose by split decision but got Best Fight of the Night. But for Atlas we saved the best fight for the Main Event bout in which JEAN-EMILE MELANSON took on the Hometown guy. The 1st round was active on both sides and near the end Jean caught a solid shot and got an 8-count, but recovered from it and came out swinging smarter the next 2 rounds and fully dismantled his opponent with tactical attacks and explosive counter-attacks. Jean WON by unanimous decision is the Main Event in the opponent's Hometown to cap off a solid night of Boxing action in Burlington. Thank you Ryan Ranelli and everyone at No Excuse Boxing Club for hosting an awesome night and giving our boxer's the opportunity to fight. Thank you to Atlas Coaches Jonathan Bochner and Paul Lee :) team manager Jason Holmes and Brandon & Emily & everyone who came out to support us! TheFutureIsBright! See more

Getting Jaquan Carty some much needed funding is always tough but thank you to Tyler Quick for organizing the Suits :) come out this Friday to support a good cause!

2020 Brampton Cup RESULTS for Team ATLAS are in! It was the first chance at competition for many of our boxers. There were over 500 boxers entered into the tournament and an extra session of fights was added on Friday afternoon. Regardless, by far there were more bouts on each session this Brampton Cup than the last few years. We had 8 boxers in action from Atlas: BORNA YAZDANI Elite Male Novice 91+ Kg fought a tough opponent from Esakoni Red Tribe who was there to take a pun...ch to give a punch, apparently so was Borna. He WON the fight that day, but lost the war because he was too banged up to continue the tournament after the hard-fought battle to claim the BRONZE. The Fri. Evening session took a turn for the positive as JAQUELINE MACLEAN after an average 1st round pushed to win the next 2 rounds to WIN her first official bout by split decision. That night her shoulder started aching so we pulled out of the Finals bout to avoid further injury but took home the SILVER in the Elite Female Novice 51 Kg category. JEAN-EMILE MELANSON Elite Male Novice 69 Kg got a bye on Friday to the Semi-Finals on Sat. Vs. A very strong opponent and even though the referee thought he was good to continue, after 2 rounds I didn't see a positive outcome possible, so I stopped the bout and Jean claimed the BRONZE & a chance to fight another day! Both our Open Class Junior & Youth boxers looked good claiming SILVER against out of province opponents. SERGIO ANTONIO LOEZA Youth Male Open 64 Kg. & VICTORIA SPENCER JR.C Female Open 57 Kg. Both were in their first action in several months as they prepared for longer rounds at the new age categories. KYLE ROSAL Elite Male Novice 64 Kg had 2 fights on his way to GOLD ;) WON the 1st by Unanimous decision & WON 2nd when is opponent failed to show up for weigh-ins. Our MVP was STANISLAV KOLCHANOV who claimed the SILVER in Elite Male Novice 75 Kg by fighting 3 fights in 3 days. He WON the 1st by TKO & WON the 2nd by Unanimous decision. There are no easy fights so he was pretty sore and run down by the 3rd bout. A great way to start off in this sport! Thank you to ATLAS coaches JONATHAN BOCHNER & PAUL LEE & Stevie from TNT for their help! @ Brampton Cup See more

ATLAS Boxing, like #CityTV, was Everywhere yesterday! We were in action at 3 different places at the same time! Giovanni Lombardi & I took our Junior team and some of our Brampton Cup team to do some sparring at the Arnie Boehm Athletics Ctr. in Kitchener. Where #WRBA has their home. What an awesome group of young, aspiring boxers! Keep up the Hard Work cuz #HardWorkPaysOff! Thank you to Rick for setting it up and Coach John for hosting :) Ernesto Petta took our Flyweights, P...G Tondo & Ian Parina, for sparring with Evan Gillard over at Motor City Boxing club in Oshawa. Thank you to Don Nelson for hosting :) We also got another update from the Canadian National Team training camp in Montreal, QC where Jonathan Bochner joined our 2020 Olympic hopeful, JAQUAN CARTY.
