Rockbridge Rock Steady Boxing

Rock Steady Boxing was founded in 2006 by Scott C. Newman after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 40. Determined to fight back, Scott, started to train with his friend and former Golden Gloves boxer Vince Perez. He found this training was helping his symptoms to the point where his tremor was controlled and he felt Rock Steady. Soon his Young Onset PD group joined in the fight and this labor of love quickly gained national attention. Adding professional boxer Kristy Rose Follmar as the initial RSB Coach led to the creation of a curriculum that has grown into what RSB is today.
