Everything you should know before working with RDB.

RDB is built for serious intermediate and advanced fighters who want technical correction, tactical understanding and structured development. It suits fighters who are willing to think, accept honest feedback and work on the details that transfer into sparring and competition.

No. RDB is deliberately positioned away from beginner classes and general fitness boxing. The coaching assumes you already have a base and are ready for deeper technical and tactical work.

No. RDB can work alongside your existing gym or coach. This is especially relevant for Pro Hire, where the goal is to provide another specialist set of eyes without interfering with your existing team.

Your application is reviewed first. I look at your experience, current training, strengths, weaknesses, what breaks down under pressure and what you actually want help with. If RDB looks like the right fit, the next step is discussed directly with you.

Private coaching is based around Springfield Lakes, Queensland, servicing fighters from Springfield, Ipswich, Redbank Plains, Redbank and surrounding areas.

RDB coaching is built around the Hybrid Punisher System and real-time problem solving. Sessions focus on timing, distance, rhythm, defence, positioning, Fight IQ and decision making — not simply throwing combinations for the sake of activity.

It is the RDB framework for developing calm, intelligent and efficient fighters. The core cycle is See → Control → Punish → Reset. Fighters learn to collect information, control range and tempo, punish mistakes and reset before exchanges become chaotic.

That depends on the fighter. Common areas include lead-hand control, timing, counters, distance management, rhythm disruption, defensive reactions, positioning, safe entries and exits, ring generalship and tactical problem solving.

RDB is not built around casual one-off sessions. If you want structured improvement, the Development pathway is the better fit. If you only need targeted specialist input without a long-term commitment, Pro Hire is designed for that.

The coaching is direct. Good work is recognised, but problems are not hidden to protect ego. Serious development requires honest feedback, clear expectations and a willingness to correct what is not working.

Private Coaching describes the way RDB trains. Development is the structured pathway used to apply that coaching over time. The Development phases give the work a defined direction, progression and review process rather than treating every session as isolated.

RDB currently offers 10, 15 and 20-session development phases. Each is designed for a different level of depth, integration and progression rather than simply selling blocks of training time.

Development can include coaching direction, technical and tactical review, training modules, fighter thinking frameworks, progression tracking and planning outside the hour you are physically training.

You do not need to decide that alone. Use the application form to explain your background and goals. I can then recommend the option that makes sense based on your current level and what you actually need.

Pro Hire gives you one 4.5-hour block of professional RDB time for $500. It is designed for fighters who need focused technical or tactical input without committing to a full Development phase.

No. It is one focused 4.5-hour RDB booking. Within that block we can move between technical work, footage or opponent review, tactical discussion, strategy and fight-specific problem solving depending on what you need.

Yes. That is one of the reasons it exists. You can keep your coach, gym and existing team while using RDB for a specific technical or tactical problem. No politics.

Typical uses include technical refinement, Fight IQ, ring generalship, balance and mechanics, previous fight or sparring review, opponent breakdown, tactical planning and fight-specific preparation.

No. Pro Hire is a single 4.5-hour booking. The time is used in that one block so we can identify the problem, work through it properly and leave you with clear technical or tactical direction.

It is the digital fighter-development platform behind the coaching. It brings together fighter profiles, ratings, coach feedback, notes, messages, tasks, video review, development history and progression tracking.

Premium Fight IQ access is currently $49 per month unless a different arrangement is specifically agreed as part of your coaching setup.

Existing fighters can log in directly at iq.realdealboxing.au. The member login also lives in the website footer so it is available without taking over the main navigation.

No. RDB is a boxing-specific technical and tactical development service. The focus is how you see, position, defend, time, control and execute. Strength and conditioning should be handled separately by an appropriate specialist where required.

Yes, when it serves the development goal and is appropriate for the fighter. RDB uses technical and constraint-based sparring to train specific decisions, reactions and tactical behaviours rather than treating sparring as a gym war.

Yes. Footage review is useful for identifying patterns that are difficult to see while you are inside the round. It can be part of ongoing development, Fight IQ work or Pro Hire.

Yes. RDB coaching is problem-based. Work can be built around southpaw matchups, pressure fighters, counter punchers, volume fighters, inside fighting, outside fighting and other specific tactical problems.

No. The system gives fighters principles and decision-making tools, but the application must suit the individual. Your stance, attributes, habits, strengths, weaknesses and competitive demands all matter.

The price shown on the relevant service page or the price confirmed directly with you at the time of booking is the applicable price. Development packages and Pro Hire are paid services and may be updated over time.

Pro Hire is $500 paid upfront on arrival, before the 4.5-hour booking begins.

Contact RDB as early as possible. Any specific cancellation, rescheduling, expiry or booking conditions provided to you when your coaching is confirmed form part of the booking terms.

No. Coaching can provide structure, correction, analysis and better decision-making tools, but boxing performance depends on the fighter, consistency, preparation, health, competition and many factors outside the coach’s control.
