Coach: Lee Shabaka
From 1995 to the present Lee has also taught his training methods at New York’s best known boxing gyms such as Kingsway Boxing Gym and Gleason’s Gym. Lee admits that not everyone is cut out for this system simply because some people don’t adjust well to intense training. But those that do have nothing to lose and everything to gain: for them its a win-win situation. In 1998 he developed a women’s component and by 2001 Teamfreeform prepared 3 women for the First Women’s World Boxing Championships (See Our Women’s Boxing Club) thus supplying the U.S. with 1/4 of the American Team. Team Freeform has continuously developed male and female competitors on the State, National and International level.
We offer some of the best boxing instruction to competitors and general participants alike. Over the years we have gotten many people into fighting shape…at the Freeform Boxing Club, we specialize, in results.
In 1987 Lee developed and began to teach his own martial arts concepts, Freeform Kickboxing, which draws upon his broad background in different forms and styles, utilizing the most effective techniques from each. Although Lee’s Freeform Method was not a classical Asian system, it contains a very traditional and universal training base. It’s nucleus is that of boxing and kickboxing and is highly effective in its form.
