Standing in Your Corner was inspired by the late Daniel Martinez—a devoted attorney who used his free time to teach boxing to special needs individuals in Brevard County, turning the sport into lessons in discipline, resilience, and self-confidence.
Today, his wife, Marina Martinez, carries on that vision—expanding it to serve all youth through mentorship, fitness, and character-building programs. Our goal: to help young people build strength, confidence, and purpose.
We believe strong communities start with strong character. Our guiding values are:
Do what’s right, always.
Treat everyone with dignity.
Persevere through challenges.
Build healthy habits for success.
Give back and lift others up.
