Train With the Best


“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” – Proverbs 27:17

At Evolve Mixed Martial Arts we are firm believers that in order to become the best you must train with the best.  This applies not just to the practice of martial arts, but to all aspects of life.  It is for this very reason that Evolve Mixed Martial Arts has scoured the globe to bring in the very best of the best in all the major disciplines of mixed martial arts.  It is the reason why the Evolve Fight Team has proven itself as one of the best in the world.  If you are not being challenged in training and learning from those around you every day, then you are not improving.  No matter how great you may think you are, you must check your ego at the door and open your mind to new things.  There is no shame in getting your butt kicked in training.  That is what training is for.  Always try to pick the person in the room that is better than you and learn from them.  Remember, training is not about winning or losing, but rather about trying new things and improving each and every day.   

As it turns out, Georges St. Pierre subscribes to the very same philosophy of training.  Georges is a true MMA superstar and UFC World Champion, but every day in training he gets his butt kicked.  In the morning he will get out-boxed by a World Champion boxer, and in the afternoon he will get submitted by a World Champion in BJJ.  This is what makes him one of the very best mixed martial artists in the world.  Check out the short video below in which Georges talks about his philosophy of training.  In his own words, “I want to train with the best, because I want to become the best.”
