Where Champions
Are Made
Blindside Boxing Academy is the home gym of Amador "The Blindsider" Mendez, founded by the Mendez family in Austin, Texas. Named after Amador's fighting nickname and his father Siego's legendary Blindside Tattoo Studio.
We train fighters of all levels — from complete beginners to competitive professionals. Our philosophy: boxing builds character, discipline, and confidence that extends far beyond the ring.
Located in Austin, Texas, we serve the Pflugerville and greater Austin community with world-class boxing instruction.
