Look at your past and you will see your future.  One day, The History Channel was showing a program called Gladiators; and upon winning in the Arena, gladiators would etch their names onto the Coliseum walls.  The History Channel showed one of the names on the rock slabs; his name was Amato.  It could be a coincidence however, in my mind, doubtful. 

 

Boxing is in the blood.  First starting with my Uncle Jimmy "White" Amato; he was a Professional Middleweight.  My father, John Amato, is the 2nd Gen Fighter, only fighting in the amateur's, but having 49 fights.  I am the 3rd Gen., still training but prefer the Coaching side of the Game. 

 

I started at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn, New York with my Trainer Hector Roca, learning the skill and technique to become proficient.  I have sparred with Maureen Shea, who has now turned Pro, and her current record is 10-0.  I also had a sparring op. with Alisha Ashley, World Boxing Champ, in learning the ropes of the trade. Currently, I am a USA Boxing Coach, registered in Colorado Springs, Colorado and I train clients at the J/Medical City Health & Recreation Center in Dallas, Texas. 

 

Boxing will help take my clients away from the stress of everyday life and turn a challenging, calorie-burning workout into an exciting adventure.  For more information and rates please contact Jonna at jojo@jonnaocampo.com.
