Boxing is the definition of a contact sport, so non-contact boxing is hard to picture. 

"Our fighters go through the whole workout that a fighter in training would go through," said Wildwood Communications Director Tom Schreck.

But once you see it, you can't forget it.

"They know the punches; they know the stands," said Schotts Boxing Gym Coach Javier Martinez.

The Undisputed Champions program is run through Wildwood's Adapted Physical Education Department. They've also partnered with the International Boxing Federation and the United States Boxing Association to encourage professional fighters to volunteer.

Martinez, or Javy as everyone calls him, is also an undefeated professional fighter and a Colonie Police officer. It's easy to see why these athletes look up to him.

"We've been best friends since the beginning, since the first time I've been here," said Jude Kinnar, a 19-year-old Wildwood student and boxer in the program.

"They're not going to benefit at all if I tell them to go 50 percent," Martinez said. "It's 110 percent every day they walk in here, and they give us that every single time."

For 10 weeks at a time, Martinez coaches kids who never thought they'd box a day in their lives. Their parents never thought they'd see this, either. 

"My heart is like [pounding], you know, from all the excitement," parent Debbie Elliot said. "But it seems like everyone is really putting their all into it."

You might be thinking, why boxing? Well, Schreck also happens to be a professional boxing judge. 

"Yeah I do fights on HBO and Manny Pacquiao [bouts] and stuff like that," he said.

Javy jumped on board with the idea of coaching them because of what the sport did for him. 

"It was the first thing I had ever been good at in my life," Martinez said. "I ran with it, and that success inside the ring carried me to success outside the ring."

If you listen, you'll hear he doesn't coach these athletes any differently. And that might be why this no-contact boxing thing works.

"Because if you don't talk about disability, they won't even know you have a disability in the first place," Kinnar said.

Disability doesn't matter. Working hard does.

"The big thing is, fight for what you want in this world. And they do," Martinez said.
