As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Earned Stripes... Saturday, November 26

At exactly 6:40pm I went from chillaxing like a villain, all curled up on the floor with Pyen Chi at my feet to an overly-hyper, super giddy, smiling from ear-to-ear Polack when I realized what was on the other side of my door. Two men had showed up and they came to deliver the shipment of sponsored goods from Adidas.

Adidas had sent so much stuff that it had to be delivered in two massive boxes and carried by two men… how awesome is that?! Pretty awesome!!!

So what was in the boxes you ask, good question…


18 pairs of hand wraps
7 pairs of heavy bag gloves
6 pairs of 12oz gloves
3 pairs of focus mitts
6 black track suits

… and as if that wasn’t already so much, they had thrown in an extra 6 blue track suits to “make up for the delay”, they wrote to me.

The plan is to get Flipside Fitness printed on the backs of the track suit jackets and hand out the hand wraps and heavy bag gloves to the fierce gals who have been regularly attending my boxercise classes since I started this all.

I was so stoked tonight and I can’t wait till tomorrow when I take those virgin hands of those in my boxercise class, wrap them in the hand wraps and then slip them into some sweet, sweet looking brand-spanking new heavy bag gloves. They’re going to absolutely love it… I can’t wait… I couldn’t wait, so I messaged them all.

My boxercise gals have trained hard, they've earned their stripes -- the Adidas stripes that is -- so tomorrow is seriously going to rock!!!

Hi Amy,
Wow, that is great you got all that stuff for your classes etc. It's great you got glove and shoes and all the rest of that. If I was near you I would definitely join in for sure. Keep up the training.
