World Champion Jaime Clampitt

Mother. Fighter. Champion.
Professional boxer Jaime Clampitt has spent her life working hard for her many titles. A two time national champion in Canada, and a 4 time world champion, Jaime started her career strong and never looked back. Her first pro fight in Calgary, Canada was the main event. She knocked out her competition in under a minute. Her accolades stem from hard training workouts and a drive to succeed. But before she was fighting in the ring, Jaime had to fight against the odds to prove she had what it takes to play a sport that barely had any women. “When I started at the time they really didn’t have any females boxing. I’m originally from Saskatchewan, Canada so I started in Canada and I was the second female registered in Canada for the Canadian Ameteur Boxing Association,” Jaime said. Her priorities have changed a bit over the years with her family taking up much of her time. But Jaime still remains active by working out at striking beauties, an all female boxing gym. Whether you’re looking to go pro or not, there are plenty of classes to try at the gym. “What’s really great about this gym is they really break it down and really teach you from the ground up. So you’re gonna work on the fundamentals. There’s the conditioning side of it, so all the classes are designed around the fundamentals and the conditioning and training of boxing,” said Clampitt. For a list of classes offered at Striking Beauties, head to their website. http://strikingbeauties.com/

Women take to the ring to raise money, hope

NORTH ATTLEBORO – About a dozen women’s fists flew furiously into punching bags at the Striking Beauties boxing facility on Saturday morning, not in anger, but as a fundraiser to benefit the Walk For Hope foundation.

Alyssa Caruso, the founder of the Walk for Hope, which raises money for suicide and depression prevention programs, was among the participants, and she was particularly excited to offer the community a different type of fundraiser.

“It’s something new to me, and I wanted to get it out there and share it with everyone,” Caruso said. “My goal for this is to keep the Walk For Hope fresh in everyone’s mind.”

The pairing of boxing and fundraising worked out well for Caruso, as the event raised between $300 and $400.

The event originally had been planned to be two 20-minute sessions, with 20 participants donating $20 each, but the two sessions merged into an hour-long workout. Gym owner Dena Paolino-Sarcia coached the women as they completed warm-up exercises, demonstrated the basic boxing moves, then shadowboxed with small weights.

“You want your arm parallel to the floor,” Paolino-Sarcia said. “Throw your punches out; go easy, don’t throw your elbows out.”

After the basic moves were taught, the women donned boxing gloves and paired up at one of the several punching bags.

“Ideally, throw your jab as you’re moving forward,” Paolino-Sarcia said. “You guys are doing great!”

Paolino-Sarcia, who had first met Caruso during the Walk For Hope’s summer 5K Walk for Hope, aimed to prevent misconceptions about boxing, which is really a cardiovascular and core workout, concentrating in the center of the body, with the power coming from the hips and abdomen.

“It’s awesome working with people who’ve never done it before,” she said. “It was a blast.” By the end of the session, the women were sweaty, but felt exhilarated by the workout.

“I thought it was really fun,” said Abbey Corey, who is a roommate of Caruso’s younger sister at Bay State College. “I’m ready for another workout now.”

Pattie Gay, of Attleboro, brought her 15-year-old daughter Bridget with her. Both had participated in the Walk For Hope’s event last summer.

“I had a good workout,” Gay said. “I feel great. It was fun, it was different – a good, unique workout.”
