Kimekai MMA is a Family

Just a few words about Martial Arts and the experiences it allows you to have.

What is most special about Martial Arts as an activity, sport or way of life -is the challenges it presents you. Yes there is great physical effort asked of you when you kick, punch + grapple to the point of exhaustion. Yes it is the will of an evenly matched opponent that pushes you to the point past what you thought was possible. It is re-defining those points of physical effort.

When we challenge ourselves to re-define those marks of what is possible--the physical is just the vehicle that we ride along in. The journey is truly inside. It is a search for the inner strength. The Warrior inside us all that says,"Never Quit." It is so simple. Yet in today's social media keyboard connected world it is rare that we get to reach past what is comfortable. What "others" say we cannot do. What we ask of ourselves in the quiet moments.

This we never do alone in Martial Arts. This we do side by side with others. Those we sweat, bleed, cry + laugh with. That is what Martial Arts is. That is why we are a family.

1st always be respectful + kind to eachother. We fight together. Everyday.

Banjo's Journey since 2007---He used to weigh 102 kilos!!!!

Our very own Nick "Banjo" Patterson started his amazing journey w/ Kimekai back in 2007. Not many remember that when Nicko 1st stepped onto our mats he weighed 102kgs. That was back in 2007. At the time of this article he has earned a Professional MMA Fight Record of 12W-4L-1D. Now that is great but even more incredible is that Nicko fought at 70.4kgs in 2013. An AFC Lightweight bout. He did not win that fight but he continues to battle on. The fact that he made that weight as a Type 1 Diabetic is also pretty righteous.

We want you to share in the success that Martial Arts can bring into your life. It is the start of 2014. Lets get to work together and achieve the dreams and aspirations that you have. We WANT you to reach your greatest potential. Martial Arts is the best vehicle to push & test you to reach your peak. Not everyone is a Fighter but we all have a Fighter's Heart deep down inside. Let's find that HEART together.
