Training Tips

Be a great training partner so you will always have training partners. If you want to keep yourself on a progressive climb, it's vital to have great training partners for sparring pad work,etc...  Even for general motivation, a great training partner will bring out your best.

How do you surround yourself with great training partners? You must first be one.

Be encouraging, be safe, maintain good hygiene and keep yourself in shape so that you are the best training partner anyone could ever want to work with.

Energy begets energy. Always bring a positive energy to the workout. Be the person that brightens the room when you enter, not when you leave.

I have had the good fortune for many years of having so many great training partners. Whether you are doing sparring, weight training or grappling drills and skills. There is tremendous value to a great training partner, so make sure you are one! Get Fit...Stay Fit...Never Quit!
