Happy Monday Team!
We had a great time at the MOC Sparring event at 8 Limbs Academy yesterday in West Philadelphia. Ken, Tre, and Ade all stepped into the ring and put on a fine showing.
Fighting is a team sport, even though you go out there alone. Without a strong support network, a fighter can’t really get anywhere. While you may not have personally had a direct influence on their performances this weekend (and many of you actually have!), simply showing up and leading by example with a strong work ethic, positive attitude, and a healthy perspective towards adversity all nourishes an ecosystem that these athletes can thrive in. So thank you!
We are ramping up in 2023 for competition season again, so stay posted for some big news!
In the meantime, every day on the mats is a battle so gear up and we’ll see you there tonight 🙂 |
