K.L. Brown was born in the South Bronx, N.Y. and is the founder of the Sweat Box Martial Arts Training Program designed for women. He first began studying southern style kung-fu and kenpo at the age of five and later would go on to win numerous regional and national karate championships. It was at the age of 11 that he began to foster his love of boxing through J.O. youth programs at Gleason’s and the Police Athletic League. As an amateur boxer and youth competitor, he won both New York Silver Gloves and Golden Gloves titles before moving on to coach world class competitors as an Olympic and USA boxing coach. As a break dancer and performer, K.L. Brown was featured in the seminal hip-hop film Beat Street. These unique and varied interests along with the desire to cultivate community values, foster self-esteem and create a diverse training niche in the fitness industry ultimately led to him developing the historic Sweat Box Angels program for women.
