*Cornermen At Rock Steady Boxing, taking care of our care partners (we call them "Cornermen") is an important part of our program. Cornermen give so much back to RSB by creating support groups, assisting and organizing functions and fundraisers, and giving much-needed feedback to us about how we can better meet the needs of our participants. Parkinson's boxing members are allowed to select ONE designated care partner, or "cornerman," who may enjoy some of the same privileges as our Parkinson's class members without any additional cost. Complimentary cornermen memberships are not transferrable.
