Cross Town Boxing is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth boxing gym in Las Cruces, New Mexico, founded by Coach Mike. The organization aims to help young people build skills and confidence through boxing, fitness, and personal development. Its offerings include youth and adult training, competitive boxing, and self-defense classes. The gym lists morning sessions for adults and weekday afternoon classes for competitive boxing and self-defense, with enrollment and class details available through its website.

Crosstown’s youth self-defense program serves students in grades 5–12, using age-appropriate role-play and practical, step-by-step techniques to encourage awareness, confidence, boundary-setting, and trust in one’s instincts.
