ART & BOXING!

The name of this space "MAINTENANT" comes from avant-garde/dadaist poet/boxer Arthur Cravan who published and edited a polemical art review magazine MAINTENANT (“NOW”), in Paris from 1911 to 1915, which appeared in five issues and which he notoriously distributed around Paris with a wheelbarrow.

In a sanctioned match in Barcelona in 1916, Cravan fought Jack Johnson, one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time.

Our idea of MAINTENANT from its inception was to offer both fighting and art. MAINTENANT started with boxing and jiu jitsu training 6 days a week with trainer Demain Ortiz from January 2020 until the pandemic shut us down in March 2020.

We are now offering free boxing training every Sunday at 10am.
