Meet Dusty

-Founder

In 2008 Dusty began his boxing journey... At first he started practicing just for a good workout and to get in shape, but quickly found boxing to be a powerful outlet for the mind body and spirit. He discovered a brotherhood in and embraced the discipline developed in boxing, carrying it into other avenues of his life.

In 2017 God gave Dusty a vision to bring boxing to the youth of his city, and anyone who was willing to embrace the discipline and grow. Banding together with other boxers from his Church, Dusty founded Contending For the Kingdom to reach the next generation.

Boxing has been a positive outlet for the youth of Lahaina who would otherwise be wandering the streets after school, or have no where else to go. Dusty shapes the restless energy of the students into power and purpose, instilling Kingdom values as well as powerful punches into each lesson.

Born and raised in Lahaina, Goody has and has carried a passion for boxing in Maui for a long time. 10 years ago he began training his own children in the sport, and saw how powerfully the discipline shaped their lives.

Goody is an incredible instructor, a family man, and a devoted follower of Jesus. He would love the opportunity to train and mentor any student in the ring.
