“The weakest punches are thrown with the tongue.”
Robert Sharenow, The Berlin Boxing Club

“Today you had a very important lesson on taking punches. A lot of people will tell you that the first thing you have to learn is how to take a punch. But I believe the first thing you should know is that you can take one and survive. A punch won't kill you. Conquering your fear is the first step to becoming a powerful fighter.”
Robert Sharenow, The Berlin Boxing Club

“There's adventure in the air. . . and cake to be eaten.”
Robert Sharenow, The Berlin Boxing Club
