ALL LEVELS BOXING

All Levels Boxing at Mainland MMA is built around movement, deception, and control. This is not stiff, planted, shell-up boxing. We focus on floating, staying light, relaxed, and mobile—and only planting when we’re throwing. The goal is to make people miss, create angles, counter strike, and strike with intention at that, instead of standing sloppy, blocking shots, and absorbing pressure. This is a fluid, rhythmic, almost dancing style of boxing—where footwork comes first and timing is absolutely everything. You’ll learn how to glide in and out, break patterns, disrupt pressure fighters, and stay dangerous without burning yourself out. The movement isn’t flashy for the sake of it—it’s efficient, deceptive, and built to last.

 

You’re learning under Coach Brett MacPhail, a lifelong martial artist with 16 years of boxing experience, nearly five years of Muay Thai experience, and years of real, hands-on coaching. Brett isn’t just teaching what he’s studied, he’s teaching what he’s lived. His approach blends modern striking with knowledge passed down through generations of the MacPhail family. These are the kinds of details that don’t get handed out freely, subtle tricks, habits, and timing cues that separate disciplined fighters from people who just train hard.

Raised in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Brett fought his way up from nothing. He came up the hard way, through discipline, pressure, and grit—and carried that mentality onto the mainland, where he built multiple successful businesses from the ground up. Mainland MMA is the result of that journey: true Cape Breton toughness, sharpened and refined on the mainland.

In this class, Brett teaches you how to stay relaxed under fire, and let things go when it’s time. You’ll be coached to stay calm, loose, and sharp thinking—even when the pace picks up. This is boxing that translates whether you’re sparring, competing, or preparing to put everything together in MMA.

Brett is a Level 1 NCCP Certified Boxing Coach, an active competitor with a perfect competitive record, and is currently preparing to build a refined amateur career through 2026–2027 before transitioning into the professional ranks. His coaching is current, constantly evolving, and pressure-tested—built from years of experience inside gyms, rings, and professional fight camps. Mainland MMA actively develops fighters competing in Boxing, Kickboxing, K-1, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts, with athletes performing on Fight League Atlantic, the highest stage for MMA in Atlantic Canada.
