The gym is more than just a place where mixed martial artists go to work-out. It becomes their home. Their fellow gym members, their family. It eventually morphs into the most important part of any fighters life. When the fighter finally goes to the ring, it’s only because of his family within the gym and his determination to be the best. The “Gym-Family” provides more than just the rational tools the fighter needs to succeed in the gym… they provide the emotional support and balance needed to take their career to the next level.
