Meet Coach Gabriel

Gabriel’s passion for boxing started at a young age, watching fights with his dad and older brother. He began training around 10 years old and eventually stepped into competition at 16. After taking time away from the sport, Gabriel returned to boxing at 23 and has since competed in 7 amateur bouts representing Aloha Time Boxing.

For Gabriel, coaching is about more than teaching punches and combinations. Boxing has had a tremendous impact on his own life and he enjoys passing those lessons on to others helping members build confidence, discipline, skills and strength both physically and mentally.

When he’s not training or coaching, Gabriel enjoys bass fishing and hopes to take his fishing skills to the ocean one day.

Gabriel is proud to be part of the Aloha Time Boxing team and is committed to giving every member who walks through the doors a great training experience.
