Mixed Martial Arts Club: Training Team Lead

I've been passionate about martial arts for nearly two decades and joining this club last year reminded me of the thrill of sparring and the community that you find in any dojo, gym, or academy. It's a place to make friends and to better yourself and I hope to be a part of the process for all our members. 

Some people join for the health aspect, others have a background in one martial art and want to learn another skill, some are here to build confidence for daily life, and some want to train to fight, compete, and win. Whatever your reason for joining, our fitness is at the core of all of these, and that's why, if elected, I plan to work closely with the club president and team captain to develop our strength, speed, and skill so that we can walk onto the mats, into the ring, or down the street, with confidence that we can handle whatever gets thrown at us. Sessions will always start with a workout to challenge us, complementing the technical skills taught to us by our guest coaches. Expect exercises to improve power, strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility. 

Whatever you put into training is what you will get out of it, there's no shame for those that struggle to do 10 pushups, there's no glory for those than do 100, my job will be to push you so that you find new limits, not for the extrinsic praise of those around you, but the intrinsic praise of overcoming your own hurdles. 

Train hard, fight easy!
