What We Do

Inspired by the community of women boxers at Austin Women's Boxing Club, Owner and Head Trainer Julia Gschwind and Coach Alex Plichta set out to create a nonprofit to bring the excitement, fun, and empowerment of boxing to more girls in the Austin community.  HeadStrong Girls' Boxing offers FREE classes in the communities and schools where their students live, ensuring location and expense are never a barrier to access quality training and instruction.

Who We Serve
