Making your training environment a positive one is not just your coaches responsibility here is some things you can do to help!

1. Say hello to everyone! (Saying hello first makes you the winner 😉 make kindness your first competition)

2. Learn everyone’s name in your class. Introduce yourself as many times as you need too. It can be difficult but worth it. The relationships you build in the training room are valuable.

3. Share compliments and look for the good in people.

4. Smile often. And help bring some joy to the room.

5. Use your manners and be grateful your body works and people are willing to help you get better. Please and thank-you goes a long way.

6. Be thoughtful of others. The more you help and give good energy the more of that will be returned.

7. Encourage consistency and check in with your friends.

8. Respect peoples boundaries and personal lives. It’s not the place for casual hook ups, affairs or any other drama.

9. Ensure you help guide those with less experience than you and make sure you are rôle modelling how to be a good student.

10. Have fun and work hard! Enjoy a laugh and a joke and engage sincere effort.

What do you love most about your favourite training partners?

Over 12 years of full mats and full hearts!

Courage training centre was opened to solve a problem. To provide Townsville with a mixed martial arts centre with a full Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and boxing program. Along with developmental kids programs to build the foundations in a safe and effective way to head into our adults programs.

We have solved the problem of needing separate classes for fighters and recreational artists by creating a culture where everyone has value. Because everyone deserves good martial arts and to feel part of a team.

We believe this actually increases the quality of classes and the overall skill level of everyone involved.

With a winning record year after year and producing many great technical Jiu Jitsu black belts we must be doing something right.

We are so super proud of all our members and coaches!!

If you believe in the power of discipline, commitment, hard work and doing the right thing we might just be the martial arts club for you….

How you do one thing influences how you do everything!

It means that the way you approach and handle even small tasks or situations in your life tends to reflect your overall attitude and behavior in other areas, your actions and the actions of others are often consistent across different aspects of life, whether positive or negative; it’s a principle about consistency in character and approach. A useful thing to understand.

Consistency in behavior is a good example.

If you tend to be detail-oriented and thorough in one area, you’re likely to exhibit similar behavior in other areas of your life.

Mindset matters!

Your attitude towards a task, even a small one, can reveal your underlying mindset which then impacts how you approach other things. You choose your thoughts by the way you think about things.

The idea itself is a Self-reflection tool.

This phrase alone “how you do one thing is how you do others” encourages self-awareness, allowing you to identify areas where you might want to improve your approach by looking at how you handle seemingly unrelated tasks.

My favourite lesson from martial arts is about truth and honesty.

What’s your favourite lesson from martial arts that has helped you improve other areas of your life?

*rant warning*

I’m really over this transformation bu****it shared and marketed in big box gyms.

Chasing boot camps and constantly trying to lose weight is missing the point.

Don’t get it twisted I love fitness training. I love the idea that people can learn to adjust their body composition.

But the real power in being able to control your health and fitness is in the person you need to become to achieve those things.

The real transformation is the habits that create a better lifestyle.

The real transformation is the discipline you need to make better choices.

The real transformation is not letting things drag you away from your routine.

The real transformation is accepting that you need to do things differently.

The real transformation is in the commitment to making it a life long priority.

The real transformation is having the courage to call bu****it on the behaviors and belief systems that have been holding you back!

The real transformation can also be truly accepting what it is you see in the mirror and being proud of your character more then you are your reflection.

Plenty of people out there can fight well and see their abs but still don’t like the person in the mirror.

Make sure part of your development is being happy with the reflection of your character.

At the end of every year I try and take stock of what I’ve done and where I’m going and how I can live better. And giving back has always paid me back. Life is an adventure to be enjoyed but make sure you leave this place a little bit better then you found it.

Martial arts and adventure have given me skills and experiences that make me proud of myself. And sharing that back has been an absolute joy.

COMMITMENT

The state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, outcome etc.

A willingness to give your time and energy to a job, activity, or something that you believe in.

A promise or contract to give yourself, your money, your time, etc., to support or make something a priority.

Something that you must do or deal with that takes your time.

How ever you dress this up commitment and your integrity to follow through on it will determine the quality of outcomes and relationships you can create.

Commitment is an essential team value to have in a successful training environment.
