It's NoWorries, Because We Never Lose in Martial Arts

Introduction:

Do we ever truly lose at anything? When it comes to competition, we often gauge success solely by wins and losses. But beneath the surface lies a deeper truth: in martial arts—whether it's BJJ, wrestling, kickboxing, or MMA—the focus should always be on the journey and the progression we undertake on that path.

The Process of a Martial Artist:

As a coach, witnessing the students' commitment to trusting the process has been immensely gratifying. Recently, two of our athletes participated in MMA tryouts for a spot on Team USA for IMMAF, an amateur organization offering the chance to compete for an Amateur World title. Majid Corbett secured the primary spot at 145lbs, while Anthony Collins earned an alternate spot two weight classes up at 205lbs. Additionally, our wrestlers are gearing up for NHSCA High School Nationals, with some making Team South Carolina for Fargo.

At the IBJJF Pan Championships, our outcomes may not have reflected a string of victories, but the performances were exemplary. Personally, returning to the adult level after about five years, I came close to defeating the #5 ranked competitor worldwide. Moreover, our students, like Sony Byrd, attribute their improved entrepreneurial skills to martial arts training. By focusing on the process of refinement rather than fixating on results, they've experienced personal and professional growth.

Embracing the Process:

When we detach ourselves from outcomes and instead immerse ourselves in the joy of progress, the process transcends any single event or achievement. Witnessing each student delve into their journey with dedication and gratitude is immensely rewarding. By shifting the focus to continuous improvement and embracing gratitude, we cultivate a mindset that fosters growth and resilience.

In Conclusion:

In martial arts, as in life, victories and defeats are merely waypoints on a journey of self-discovery and growth. By embracing the process with gratitude and dedication, we transform setbacks into stepping stones toward success. Let's continue to trust the process, celebrate our progress, and inspire others to pursue their dreams with unwavering determination.

Remember, at NoWorries Academy, we understand that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Together, let's strive for excellence and embrace the journey, knowing that in martial arts, we never truly lose.

This gym is great. I started on the warrior program and I’m only halfway through but from day one I was feeling better than I have before. Karl put me on a diet and to work and he’s been pushing me and lifting me up to my goals ever since I’ve met him. Karl and the staff he has are second to none. They have gone above and beyond what I was expecting, they make it a friendly environment. Making me feel like I’m truly part of the team and not just some walking wallet. I can tell each one of the coaches are very passionate and knowledgeable about their respective sports, what they teach, and I can tell they truly care about the wellness and progression of everyone of their students. If you have been looking for a gym to train at look no further.

I saw the 6-week challenge ad posted by Karl on Facebook and decided to check it out. After having been sedentary after retiring from the military and having a teenage son I decided this would be a great way for both of us to get in shape, while spending more time together. The meal plan and home workouts are easy to follow and will get your body started in the right direction of being active again without overexertion. Then spending two days a week in the Academy learning self-defense/competitive Jiujitsu allowed us to interact with other members and the friendly environment helped keep us motivated in the challenge and build a little BJJ family as a result of it all that we look forward to seeing weekly. After the challenge ended, my son Brandon and I enjoyed it so much that we chose to continue our BJJ journey. Coach Karl and his team that assist in the training make sure it’s safe and fun for everyone involved while challenging your mind and body to push itself to get better. If you’re looking to get started with changing your health and don’t feel comfortable getting into a weightlifting gym, give this a shot. At 43, I feel in better shape aerobically now than I have in a long time and continue to improve my flexibility and endurance. During the challenge I lost a little under 15 pounds, with a 3% drop in body fat. My son lost about the same weight; except he lost more body fat. As the motto says: “Good Better Best, never let it rest, until our good is better and our better is best. No Worries, just work.” The plan is there, you follow the plan and your good will get better and eventually turn your better into your best results. – Patrick Yates, 43

I joined the 6-week challenge with my dad. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect but then I started seeing improvements. The meal plan was helpful and flexible and always kept me feeling full. During class, I felt more energetic than I usually am and liked learning the moves and trying them against other people, including my dad, showing me that even with different size opponents the moves work. Going to the classes helped me stay on track and kept me accountable while building my confidence. Even having gone to the gym with my dad, these workouts make me the sweatiest I have ever been from working out, but I feel great after practice and lets me know that I am putting in the work. BJJ gets me moving and allows me to escape from dealing with school or work and strictly focus on something for myself. I look forward to earning my stripes, getting to compete and one day reach that coveted black belt. – Brandon Yates, 17

Great hard working environment. Coach Karl Reed and staff will help assist and motivate you to make sure you reach your goals, not only in sports but in life. Not only will he help you with your physical health, he cares just as much about your mental health. A great place I feel as though everyone can get better at. It’s no worries just work.
