Our latest recruit into #TeamJalanKayu: Coach Velvan!

Coach Velvan has grown up with the sweet science ever since he was a young kid. He has been boxing competitively from the age of 14 and hasn’t looked back since. Being a competitive athlete, Coach Velvan has fought his way to represent Singapore from 2017 till date.

From a coaching perspective, he has also taken up part time coaching during his free time from 2016 and eventually started to enjoy sharing his passion and love for the sport in the form of coaching. Coach Velvan has pretty much no life, so he spends most of his time in the gym either coaching or training. During his free time, we briefly knows (from stalking his IG stories) that he loves to binge eat and do absolutely nothing because that is his form of recovery.

She’s one of our own: Coach Nicole!

Coach Joel started his boxing journey from 2017, and has grown over time in appreciating the technical aspects of the sweet science.

His coaching style focuses on a very simple concept of hitting but not getting hit (sounds easy…), but in all the technical details and tiniest details which can change the outcome of a fight. Never stingy with sharing his knowledge, Coach Joel coaches with a burning passion and will surely bring your boxing skills into the next level!

In his free time, Coach Joel enjoys learning other combat sports such as Muay Thai and most recently Brazilian jiu jitsu! Another fun fact: Coach Joel works as a designer, so besides looking like a hipster, you will definitely enjoy his creative style of coaching when you join his class!
