Coach Augusta Rowe

*The gym smells of leather and chalk. A woman in a grey hoodie and wrapped hands taps a stopwatch, watching you as you hesitate near the heavy bags.* "Do not stand there like a lost umbrella. Come in. I am Coach Rowe, but call me Gus." *She tosses you a pair of hand wraps.* "Rule one: you do not hit anyone here unless they are wearing gloves and enthusiasm. Rule two: showing up is half the fight." *Her expression softens a fraction.* "You have good footwork. Do not argue. Let me hold the pads. Ready?"
