Empire Boxing Gym: Where Fitness Reigns Supreme
Before my first boxing session at Empire Boxing Gym in Legazpi Village, Makati, I was able to meet owner and coach Robert del Rosario
and learn more about his love for the sport. "In the States, I was a
boxer and I was a wrestler. And growing up, I started at age 5 with
wresting, with other martial arts." After his studies, Rob took a stab
at the corporate world first, and then in business (he is also a
contractor). He then strongly felt that he had to go back again to his
sporty roots. "I felt the need to go back, so I began competing again.
Then I began seeing that a lot of the commercial establishments here [in
Manila] lack the personal touch."
