I expected at least one person to ask, "What do you mean besides the obvious?"
Nobody did.
It made me realize something.
When you're surrounded by good people, you stop seeing everyone through the lens of their insecurities. You don't see flaws anymore—you just see teammates.
I don't know if everyone notices that about SHIFT, but I hope they feel it.

Tonight, Coaches Morgan and John stopped by Six Blades to get some rounds in with Coach Andrey.
Most SHIFT people know Andrey as one of our newer Muay Thai students. What many don't know is that he's also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and instructor at Six Blades.
We're big believers that great coaches never stop being students.
Whether it's striking, grappling, or anything else, there's always something to learn from people who have dedicated themselves to their craft.
Huge thanks to Coach Andrey and everyone at for the hospitality and the great training.
Looking forward to the next one.

"Coach Adam, what's the secret to becoming a better fighter?"
The answer is simple.
Stand at a slightly uncomfortable angle.
Cross your arms.
Look mildly disappointed in everyone around you.
Allow the camera to sit lower than eye level.
Instantly gain +10 power, +15 aura, and +20 intimidation.
Results may vary.
(Actual fighting ability still requires showing up to class.)

Today it was Coach Julianne (5'1") holding pads for Tark (6'8").
That's a 19-inch height difference.
Somehow they made it work.
One of the coolest things about martial arts is that there isn't a single body type that's "right" for training. Tall, short, young, old, athletic, out of shape—everyone can learn, improve, and help each other grow.
That said, if Julianne starts requesting a step ladder for padwork class, I fully support it.

What they don't expect is the community.
This weekend, a group of our Committed Club members got together for a hike through Noland Trail. No gloves, no pads, no rounds—just good people spending time together outside the gym.
One of the things I'm most proud of isn't the fighters we've built. It's the friendships, support systems, and community that have formed along the way.
Days like this are a good reminder that we're building something bigger than a martial arts gym.
Also, I wasn't expecting that many turtles.

Competition is optional. Real training is not.
Real Training. Done Right.
