Gabriel Cosma

Born into a boxing family, Gabriel received his first pair of gloves at age four, inspired by his grandfather, a Cleveland Golden Gloves competitor. Gabriel began his formal martial arts journey at nine, finding an early passion for combat through Kyokushin Karate.

After returning to the sport in his early twenties, Gabriel refined his craft in boxing and kickboxing at C1 MMA in Brooklyn, eventually dedicating himself to boxing. As a coach, he has a proven track record of elite development, having built a National Champion, four Golden Gloves Champions, and multiple nationally-ranked amateurs from the ground up.

Gabriel advocates for a defense-first philosophy. He prioritizes mastery of footwork, head movement, and parrying, believing that a solid defensive foundation is the essential precursor to a powerful offense. Outside of boxing, Gabriel runs a nutrition coaching business, helping everyone from professional fighters run safe weight cuts to grandparents trying to regain muscle and strength.
