About TKO Boxing Academy
Hello !
Keena and Hemi, are both owners and experienced coaches at TKO Boxing Academy on the Sunshine Coast QLD.
We are very passionate about working with our youth- teaching them that anything Is possible if you focus and put your mind on the right track. As well as working with our youth, we enjoy working with a wide range of people.
I (Hemi) have fought as an amateur, a professional, and as a master. Now as a master world champion, my passion is sharing boxing with as many people as possible who are likeminded and willing to put in the work to learn the art of boxing. TKO Boxing Academy has a strong network of supportive coaches, boxers and athletes, all pushing you to acheive your best!
We encourage young and old, fit and unfit, extroverted and introverted to come down and give it a try!
Hemi Niha
Since being forced into the boxing gym at the age of 6, boxing is thoroughly embedded in Hemis DNA. Born in the South Island and raised in the North of New Zealand, and then travelling across the ditch to Australia in 2015. Hemi has a passion for assisting the youth, developing their physical and mental abilities, watching them turn into young adults.
While in New Zealand, a major part of Hemi’s career involved assisting NZ Police, acting as a mentor to distressed and unsettled youth, helping along their journey to put their lives back on track. Hemi has also fostered, developed and worked on several youth programs amongst the New Zealand community, using boxing a vehicle to a much bigger picture.
