ABOUT YOUR TRAINER:
Tsvi Levi (he/they) is the head coach and founder of Trans Boxing Vancouver. He began boxing in 2021 after a longtime curiosity of the sport, later to discover newspaper clippings of his great-grandfather who was a successful amateur boxer in 1930s Montreal. Enticed by the total presence boxing requires, the nervous system work, and boxing’s relationship with trauma, Tsvi uncovered themself as a trans man through the renewed embodiment training offered. Tsvi’s experiences as a trans person in the broader boxing community led him to found Trans Boxing Vancouver to build a bridge between the local trans and boxing communities and lower the existing barriers that prevent trans folks from accessing combat sport training. With a background in the arts and community organizing, Tsvi views coaching first and foremost as relational, built on consistent care and trust. As an athlete, Tsvi aims to be the first openly transgender amateur boxer in British Columbia.
