“I’d Love to train but I don’t know where to start”

2014-03-11T14:16:34-05:00

This is probably one of the most common things we hear when someone walks into the academy for the first time and honestly, even though it may sound  smart or funny, the best answer we can give to this statement  is “start at the beginning” With the meteoric growth of the UFC and MMA in general and even the  rise in professional jiu-jitsu events like metamoris  and more and more highlights being uploaded to Youtube on a daily basis, its very easy to get caught up in seeing these fighters with amazing striking or crazy fancy submissions and don’t get me […]

It’s normal. Everyone who has ever picked up a football wants to score a touchdown on their first play, everyone who has ever sat down at a piano wants to […]
