Who Tony Jeffries Is
Tony Jeffries took bronze in the light heavyweight division at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, after a decorated amateur career that included medals at the European Championships. He turned professional the following year, went undefeated, and then retired in 2012 when repeated hand injuries and unsuccessful surgery left him no choice — nine wins, no losses, at the point his hands stopped.
He went to Los Angeles, co-founded the Box ’N Burn boxing gyms there, and built the academy to solve the problem he kept seeing: fitness classes that call themselves boxing and teach movements a boxer would not recognize. By the academy's own count it has now certified more than five thousand trainers worldwide. It publishes today under the name Boxing Fitness Academy — same certification, same people, newer sign over the door.

Taekwondo is a kicking art, and it is honest about that. The hands are the part a Taekwondo school is most likely to teach badly, because nobody in the room ever had to learn them properly.
This is the certification that closes that gap. It is why Women's Kickboxing here is real boxing technique on a real bag rather than an aerobics class with gloves on, and it is why the striking taught to our teens and adults holds up when somebody is punching back.
