When you set positive goals for yourself, it can be amazing what you discover on the path to achieving it. Four years ago, I was severely overweight but had decided to make the change and become shed the excess. I applied myself to eating better and hitting the gym regularly, but even as I was progressing, it was a chore. There is a reason that the treadmill is synonymous with monotony.
That's when I decided to look into martial arts as a way of fitness. By chance, Evolve Academy was the closest school that had a well-rounded approach to martial arts. The day I walked through the door I was immediately made to feel welcome, and the atmosphere was spectacular. I never even felt the need to shop around, as it were. I soon signed up and didn't look back. I found myself discovering my limits and breaking through them. No longer did I feel that I was a hamster in a wheel, I felt I was learning, growing, and improving both body and spirit.
I was honored to be approached to become one of the instructors of Evolve Academy. I wanted to be one of the people who could make it possible to manifest the same feeling of fulfillment in others from day one as I experienced it.
