Kickboxing
Finney's offers all types of kickboxing programs. We specialize in Full-Contact Rules (FCR), K-1, and Muay Thai rules kickboxing. All of the kickboxing sytems are non-belt based classes. Finney's has been named the "Best Kickboxing Gym in the Country" for the past 6 years, by various national and international sanctioning bodies
Classes are designed to give students the necessary fundamentals of kickboxing. The classes also are designed to get the student into great physical and cardiovascular shape.
Students will learn to put together the essential karate kicks and boxing combinations.
Contrary to some gyms, you will not be put into the ring as soon as you begin your training. Every student will start in a beginner's class. Once a student has gone through the kickboxing classes he or she can make a choice, to stay with the kickboxing program designed to get and keep students into shape or begin the training to take yourself to the next level in this sport, getting into the ring and one day become a champion!
Boxing
We at Finney's Championship Kickboxing are dedicated to teaching our students the fundamentals of boxing and, unlike most gyms in our area, we are willing to take it further.
We can teach the ins and outs of the ring.
We have many resources that no other gym in Saint Louis has to offer.
We have a group of coaches with many successful years of boxing experience that participate in tournaments all over the country. These coaches are all here for our students needs and thus far have been very successful with coaching people who's skills have ranged from no experience whatsoever to seasoned competitors.
We have all levels of boxers. Starting out with our base of St. louis top amateur fighters, Golden - Glove champions, and up and coming Professionals making a name for themselves nationally.
All of our fighters and students have experienced improvement in some way. Boxing takes a lot of discipline and a lot of patience. We can teach you how to obtain both of these. We offer classes for beginners, and experts. There are always things that we can show you to improve the way you train, compete and think about your overall physical condition and appearance.

We have since placed fighters in the International Fight League (IFL) and Bodog Fights. All fighters are members of St. Louis Top Team, the Premier MMA fight team of St. Louis.
