The Kind of People You’ll Meet in a Martial Arts Gym
Everyone knows you can meet new people, whenever you walk into a gym. They might share fitness advice, be a “motivational speaker”, or even be a mentor to people around them, on their martial arts and fitness journey. While a martial arts gym shares some similarities with traditional, sweat and iron gyms and even the more modern HIIT box studios, one will encounter unique and interesting characters when they walk into the dojo or studio for the first time.
-
Energy Junkies. You’ll find these energetic individuals in any martial arts gym. They are talkers and doers! It’s amazing how these people could last all day at work then have the energy to come train for sometimes hours, then have an exciting conversation with everyone. These people really liven up an environment, giving off a ton of positive vibes in every session.
-
Current and Former Athletes. High school, college and even professional athletes can be seen regularly training in a martial arts gym. Who would know better how to keep their body in tip top shape than someone who needs their body to be optimal for performance and safety. Learning martial arts does not need to be your goal, to use martial arts to give you a competitive edge in your sport of choice! Furthermore, former athletes love the challenge of learning and training sometimes long after that last whistle blows.
- Martial Arts Enthusiasts. You’ll most likely spot them in front of a mirror, watching their own technique like a hawk. In fact, they might regularly approach the head coach to spot minute mistakes whenever they’re throwing a punch or a kick. They’re passionate about their craft and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. These are the people that you will find most often
-
The Fighters. When you hear thunderous thuds from a bag, pads or mitts, you know that you’ve got a fighter in your midst. These people will train day-in and day-out to achieve the highest level in martial arts. They are the epitome of hard work and discipline, and you can see it with every jab, every kick and every repetition they perform. Their minds and definitely their bodies, show, the benefits of their hard work. Ask these people what they looked like before they started training. The transformation is usually very impressive.
