About EDBA - Eric Diamandstein’s Boxing Academy
EDBA, Eric Diamandstein's Boxing Academy, is a Balaclava boxing gym built around genuine coaching and a tight-knit, all-levels community. The emphasis is firmly on craft: members learn boxing as a skill, with sessions structured to break down technique, footwork and body mechanics into pieces that actually make sense, so beginners and seasoned boxers alike understand the why behind every movement.
Members repeatedly point to Eric himself as the difference. Reviewers describe a coach who is deeply knowledgeable, attentive and welcoming, taking the time to work with each person individually and making newcomers feel at home from the moment they walk in. Many arrive wanting to improve fitness and leave genuinely obsessed with the sport.
With classes spanning foundational technique, advanced footwork and optional sparring, and fight training offered without any obligation to compete, the academy caters equally to those chasing cardiovascular fitness, skill development or the competitive side of boxing. It is a strong choice for anyone in Melbourne's inner south-east who wants real technical instruction in a supportive, community-driven setting.
