It was a big day at the gym last night, jui-jitsu mainly but he intensity was high as UFC 97 approaches. MMA continues to grow in popularity so you see people from all over congrigating at the Tristar gym to get a taste of what it is like to train like a champion. I too have made the Tristar gym my home while I am in Montreal and making the change to a bilingual academy has been quite easy thanks to the staff and students.
One thing I have noticed over the years working in the oil field is that consistant hard work does not go unnoticed. Just like the age old addage says "You get what you put in." This also holds true to training. You can really see the difference between those who are training for fun or a workout and those who train to improve thier skills. The better your work ethic and dedication the more you progress on the mat and in life. There has never been a shortcut to sucess in this business, no substitute for the hard work in the gym. So when I was asked to mop the mats at the end of the class, I was pleased. A little wax on wax off is good for the training. It took a good 45 minutes to do but as I drew that mop across the sweat spackled matts, I pictured all of the other student before me who hled that mop for the same reason.
As I was nearing the halfway point of the mopping session I was stopped by none other than Firaz Zahabi, the head trainer at Tristar. He approached me and said "Hey, whats your name?" Del, I replied. "Cool, well good job out there today, and thanks for mopping the mats, I appreciate it."
