Punch for Veterans Boxing Clinics
Meet our Instructor: Please meet Jeffrey Tabb. "I am a former United States Marine of 14 years in service, and I received an honorable discharge. I am a service connected, disabled veteran. My first experience in Boxing was in the Marine Corps intermural Boxing camps and then being certified in Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP). 5 years ago I was a diabetic, depressed, and weighed over 270 pounds. I met former UFC fighter, Chris Lytle and he invited me to his gym where he trains at Indy Boxing and Grappling. Once I started training, it changed my life. Boxing inspired me so much, and people would ask me to train them I created Punch for Veterans Boxing. I am completing the Box n Burn Boxing Academy Certification Course. With partnership with the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana, I am glad to be a part of the Adaptive Sports Program. The Boxing program will not only have participants learn boxing, but they will also gain new friendships and networking for their daily lives."
