Your Premier Destination for Martial Arts & Boxing Training in Bridgewater
Shraim's Academy was founded in 2007 by Coach Ahmed Shraim, a seasoned martial arts expert with over 25 years of global experience. Our academy began in Coach Ahmed's basement as The Underground Fight Club and has grown into a premier destination for boxing, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training. Coach Ahmed's journey began at age 16 in the Middle East, where he trained in Western-style boxing under Coach Osama El Saba'a. After a career-ending hand injury, he transitioned to coaching, sharing his expertise worldwide. In Thailand, he helped a French fighter win a local tournament, and in Sweden, he led Hammerby IF Club's boxing team to produce champions. Our philosophy emphasizes learning from diverse disciplines and tailoring training to individual needs.We specialize in programs for all ages, including children with special needs such as autism and ADHD. Our fitness-focused classes use boxing conditioning methods to deliver engaging, effective workouts. With a legacy of training champions and certified instructors globally, we prioritize technical precision, safety, and gradual progression. Our team includes specialized trainers like Coach Amy, who creates adaptive programs for children with unique requirements. We offer private sessions, group classes, and self-defense seminars designed to build strength, coordination, and confidence. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our structured approach to skill development and community impact.

My 7 year old son has been coming here for private lessons with Coach Amy for about a year and we just love this place! He has learned so much thanks to Coach Amy's patience and understanding of how to help kids with ADHD channel their energy. His coordination, focus and confidence have greatly increased. He really looks forward to going each week and cant wait to learn each new technique. After unsuccessfully trying some other athletic programs we were referred here and are so thankful. Coach Amy has tailored a program specific to his needs. I encourage anyone who is looking for a safe

I can't say enough good things about my experience at Shraim's Academy. I came with very little boxing experience, and after a year of training with Coach Ahmed I've grown into a capable and strong fighter. Coach has the unique ability to connect with his fighters, turning sessions into fun but still extremely challenging workouts that focus on proper technique. I've seen benefits from my boxing training carry over into my other sports (horseback riding, softball, basketball, etc.).
Coach's Ahmed and Amy foster a welcoming and friendly environment where both new and experience

I was looking to switch up my workouts, which had gotten stale and boring, while learning something new and being challenged. I found the right place in Shraim's. I've done other martial arts, but this is the best mix of both fitness and technique that I've done. This isn't cardio kickboxing where you're just wildly flailing at a bag. Coach Ahmed is going to make sure that you learn the proper technique. You're really going to learn to box. Along with that you're also going to get in great shape. Whether it's Coach Ahmed or Coach Amy, you're going to

TAKE THIS CLASS, YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!
Shraim's Academy is an excellent gym for those who take interest in the art of fighting. I have taken boxing conditioning classes two days a week and have taken regular adult boxing classes here 1 day a week for a total of three days a week. I have attended Shraim's Academy since May and can without question say that I have received major reward since joining. Originally, I wanted to take boxing classes for fitness only, but was also intrigued by the boxing method. I have longed for a great beach body since I attend Flagler College in Florida
