At 16, I began training at Storm Gym.
I was the youngest there.
Everyone else were experienced fighters, Bosnian, Polish, Nigerian.
Champion fighters.
Hard men with brutal stories and no mercy.
Storm was a real fighters gym, they TRY to make you quit.
First day I stepped in they knocked me out.
Every day I came back.
I sparred full-grown men who, like life, had no mercy.
They WANTED me to leave and never come back.
Storm Gym was DESIGNED to make you quit.
For the first few days, weeks and months.
I lost.
But then, I started to win.
Before long, I could beat everyone.
By age 23, I won my first World Champion Kickboxing belt.
At any time, I could've quit like the hundreds of men who rolled into Storm Gym.
I would've saved myself the black eyes, the cold hard gym floors, the pain.
But I knew if I could stay at Storm Gym long enough, I would become the type of man who existed at Storm Gym.
I knew I must suffer, so I could live the rest of my life as a Champion.
You would have quit.
I know you would have.
Because your life now tells me that you’re a quitter.
If you were a better man you’d be up here with me.
Your life is nothing but a testament to an absolute lack of bravery.
You should feel ashamed.
When you finally understand quitting isn't an option.
If you're looking for a Storm Gym.
If you genuinely believe that you’re dedicated.
