 I have been disgusted lately b people neglecting their fitness. As you probably know I am part owner of a MMA studio.  A number of people have messaged me wanting to join my facitility or my fight team. 9 out of 10 times they are no shows.  The excuses are no money and no time. 

 With gas being at the price it is and the economy being the way it is we are all feeling the pinch.  I guess what bothers me most is that these same folks are still not doing any type of fitness.  On top of that more likely than that are spending money on booze or junkfood.  If you want something bad enough you will do whatever it takes to get it.

 I had one kid who's dream it was to become a fighter, quit my gym because he said he had no time. This kid was always in Tap Out gear, had decals on his truck etc.  next thing I know, no time. Doesn't make sense.  Take out your TV guide and cross out all of the shows that you don't care for but watch anyway.  I will guarantee you will free up 2 hours of your day.

 I hope some of you get where I am coming from. Every sport I trained in I have had a dedication to and so when others younger with less responsibility quit or worse don't even show, it bothers me.

 I am not writing to bash anyone, but maybe to get a fire under someones but and hopefully get them fit or following ther dream.

Keep your hands up,

Never Tap Out

 
I am wit ya Bones!! If you have a dream, then follow it. To many posers and not enough time! Yeah we all would like to be the next great fighters and have contracts handed to us but in reality...Most of those champions have worked their entire life to become what they are because the have but the blood sweat and tears into the training. If it were easy every Joe Blow would be doing it. Just my part of your Blog!!

P.S. Maybe the guy that quit your gym should have been wearing "Never Tap Out" rather than "Tapout". Just a thought...Never Surrender! ~Peace
