Reign City Athletics's head coach Troy Pangilinan began his training journey as a young child, coming from a family of martial artists and fight enthusiasts it was only natural for him to fall in love with combat sports. Coach Troy has a deep and comprehensive understanding of combat arts ranging from traditional Filipino and Chinese martial arts to other complimentary arts such as Capoeira and Wing Chun. Through mindful study and practical analysis Coach Troy has been able to meld the many tactical and physical lessons from the arts he has trained and has seamlessly combined them into the RCA boxing curriculum to create a practical and efficient style. Coach Troy brings a level of understanding and practicality to teaching that can only come from years of training but most importantly from first hand competitive experience. 

Unlike the boxing training available in most gyms, Coach Troy has developed a training curriculum that starts from the ground up and emphasizes learning the art in a comprehensive progression that is set up in building blocks to aid in enhancing both comprehension and retention of the skills being taught.

He has been a leading proponent of teaching boxing as a reflexive tool rather than a cognitive skill. All boxing skills are drilled in a manner that aids in creating a reflexive action in the athlete so as to lessen the gap between defense and attack until it is one seamless mental and physical action.

"A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract; and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, "I" do not hit, "it" hits all by itself."
