Mountain Climbing
Patty has been an avid Hiker since 2009 when she lived and went to school in Asheville, NC. Upon her return to NYC in 2014, she became an active Hiker in the Catskills and Hudson Valley Mountains. In February 2016, she took the leap into Alpine Climbing when she attempted Mount Washington in New Hampshire. One of the deadliest Mountains in the World with the harshest of weather conditions. She did not summit that first time, but returned 4 weeks later and reached the peak successfully.Boxing

She is an overall athlete and takes all the lessons she learns through sports and applies them to her everyday life. Her first sport was Ballet after being diagnosed with ADD at the age of 6. Ballet turned into Gymnastics and then Martial Arts. Patty won a World Title in the Female Open full contact division in Kyokushin Karate in Manhattan Center and then moved on to Boxing.Running
Patricia officially started running at the age of 14 when one Sunday winter evening in March, she was flipping through the channels and abruptly stopped when she saw a petite woman sprinting to the finish line of the LA Marathon and then collapsed as broke the tape while the spectators cheered her on. Patty was moved to tears and said that she wanted to run a Marathon one day. Her family laughed, made jokes and said it was impossible. The next morning, Patty went on her first run down Queens Boulevard by herself.About Patricia Alcivar
Patricia Alcivar (Patty Boom Boom) was born on December 12, 1980 from parents who emigrated from Barranquilla, Colombia. She is one of four sisters who grew up in a small two bedroom apartment in Woodside, Queens, N.Y. Her father left when she was eight years old leaving her mother to take care of four girls.
Patty left an abusive home at the age of 16 after completing her first NYC Marathon. She knew that if she could complete 26.2 miles on her own, she could do anything! She completed High School with honors while working after school to support herself.
After graduating High School, she started working at Sanctuary for Families where the staff was offered free skill enhancing courses but instead, Patty chose a course called “The Art of Boxing.” She knocked the wind out of her coach and long time friend, Martin Snow during a demonstration and that was the beginning of her Boxing Career.
