About myself
My name is Mikhail Basharymov, and I am a professional boxing coach with over 20 years of experience in the boxing industry. I have a unique background as both an elite amateur athlete and a coach — I won 243 of my 258 amateur fights, and later dedicated my career to developing athletes of every age and skill level.
Throughout my coaching career I have worked with children, youth, adults, beginners, intermediate athletes and competitive boxers, using an individual, self-developed approach tailored to each athlete's needs. I also have experience working with autistic athletes, placing strong emphasis on structure, patience and safety throughout the training process.
I am known for a disciplined work ethic, strong leadership, and the ability to work calmly and effectively in demanding training environments. My priority is always the athlete's development and well-being — technically and personally.

My philosophy
Technique first
I train athletes with a classical methodology where defense always comes before offense. Strong defense, proper movement and technical awareness are the foundation of everything we do.
Safety is the priority
I place great importance on protecting my athletes — especially children, beginners and anyone new to boxing. Training must be safe, controlled and intelligent, developing skill without unnecessary risk.
Steady, gradual progress
I believe in long-term development over sudden or reckless intensity. This builds confidence, discipline and a real understanding of boxing, letting athletes grow naturally and sustainably.
Results-oriented
We spend many hours refining movement, repeating drills and perfecting fundamentals. Only when technique becomes automatic do we move forward to more advanced work.
