THE CUSTODIANS OF THE CRAFT

THE CORNERMEN

Our trainers are not fitness instructors. They are the inheritors of a lineage that treats the punch as a sentence and the ring as a laboratory. They understand that a fighter’s real opponent is the unintegrated self.

Cormac MacEwan

LINEAGE: STILLMAN’S GYM, 1948

Arthur Sterling

A scholar of the counter-punch. Cormac believes that every movement in the ring is a theological statement on the nature of response.

LINEAGE: D’AMATO / CATSKILL SCHOOL

Jolene Vance

Specialist in the high-guard and the shadow self. Arthur treats fear as a fuel that can only be channeled through absolute discipline.

LINEAGE: THE GOLDEN AGE TRADITION

Mick Moretti

An authority on pattern recognition and the trained nervous system. Jolene approaches sparring as a rigorous exercise in Socratic dialogue.

LINEAGE: TRINITY FOUNDING CLASS

Mick teaches the physical geometry of the ring. He views the canvas as a sacred space where the unintegrated self meets the truth.

Trinity Boxing Club — Est. New York

The Curriculum

We treat boxing as a serious intellectual, philosophical, and spiritual practice. Our programs are designed to educate the body and the soul in equal measure.

The Primer: Fundamentals

Boxing is a system of pulleys and levers. We teach you to build the machine first. Before you throw a punch, you must learn to stand in the truth of your own balance. An education in stance, breath, and physics.

Enlist in the Basics

The Method: Shadow Work

Fear is the friend of an extraordinary fighter. We integrate the D'Amato framework with Jungian individuation. In the ring, the unintegrated self has nowhere to hide. Sparring as a serious philosophical engagement.

Face the Arena

Mind & Body Lab: Cognition

The integration of neuroscience and combat. We employ backwards running and cross-body movement to stimulate prefrontal development. Reaction-time is a trained intellectual capacity.

Examine the Science

Theology: Sacred Discomfort

Discipline as prayer. We explore the Catholic intellectual tradition through the mortification of the flesh. The body is the primary text. Aquinas meets the gym floor in a study of suffering and grace.

Prayer through Labor
A jab is a sentence. A combination is an argument.

WHETHER EITHER LANDS DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU MEAN IT.
