I got into boxing when I was about 20 years old and I was living in New York. I fought in the New York Golden Gloves a few times. Made it to the championship. I ended up becoming a professional fighter. I fought in Madison Square Garden. I fought in Atlantic City. I fought on ESPN. I had 9 professional fights and 27 amateur fights, but it just wasn’t meant to be for me to have a long career as a fighter.

I knew that God gave me another calling and that calling was to be a teacher! Because I just knew how to be creative enough and patient enough to teach.

I teach Boxing 101 in the sense of "The Paolina Way." Balance! Making the right choices! Protecting yourself! What I’ve done with my clients, by giving them that philosophy, it just helps them in everything they’re doing.

The list goes on with the success stories. That’s what I do!

"There's so much that goes on here in Phil's boxing gym that is inspiring, invigorating and unbelievable. There's just a great cross-section of people that come in here. Everybody from people in the entertainment business to young kids who have really had one bad break after another, and this is more than just a boxing gym. From what I've seen, it's a bit of a refuge for a lot of these kids, and it's damn impressive!"

“In all sports,you have to have a winning attitude, and that’s another thing that Phil instills in people here. You have to think you can do it, he shows you the right way, he tells you you can do it, builds the confidence in you to accomplish something!"
