Annapolis Boxing
Finding a good coach who
is certified can be difficult but don’t worry, I will guide you through every
step of your boxing career.
My name is Edson Rocha and I’m a Certified USA Boxing Coach with almost three
decades of experience.
I was born and raised in Brazil and moved to Annapolis, MD in 2017 when my
American wife transferred to work in DC.
In Brazil I practiced different types of sports since I was a child. At the age
of 7 I had my first contact with judo and swimming. In high school, I excelled
at basketball and rugby. I also practiced skydiving, trained muay-thai,
jiu-jitsu and of course boxing. Having trained at several gyms I was able to
see the birth of MMA as a sport up close. At that time this modality was known
simply as Vale-Tudo (literally translated from Portuguese as “anything goes”).
But boxing has always been a passion for me and my favorite martial art.
