Definition: Amateur or Olympic-style boxing is a blend of offensive and defensive skills used in the art of self-defense.  In Olympic-style boxing, a boxer uses speed, maneuverability and technique to outscore the opponent and win the decision.  All legal blows in amateur boxing are scored equally; even a knockdown is considered only one scoring blow.  Olympic-style boxing transforms the combination of conditioning, defense, offense, and strategy into a skilled and exciting sport.

Registered Participation: All participating members – boxers, coaches/assistant coaches, officials, physicians, administrators, clerks/inspectors, etc. – must be registered with USA Boxing.

Athlete - $40
