In life I know one thing to be certain: hard work pays off. Almost everything is attainable through hard work, but most people aren’t willing to put in the time. The hard work I am referring to is consistent and unwavering. It means showing up every day. Yes! Even when you don’t feel like it. Simply by showing up consistently and doubling down, it becomes apparent that most of the things people think are impossible just take a commitment. As a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I know a thing or two about what it means to work hard. I have been studying martial arts my entire life, and none of it was by any means easy, but giving up has never been an option for me. I’ve found that whenever we feel like quitting, it is at that exact moment that we are on the cusp of making serious improvements. Just by pushing through the hard times, our mental fortitude is strengthened. We always have to find a way to keep going, but that way is probably going to require consistent effort and a willingness to never quit. Here at Seigler’s Karate Center, we show exactly what hard work can achieve. Our phenomenal Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program will help you realize what you are truly capable of. Age is no discriminating factor here, whether you are in your forties, fifties, or older, you can find a home with us. I am 63 years old and in great shape thanks to a lifetime of Martial Arts. So, I would like to personally invite you to visit our gym, meet our instructors, and try a class. Be warned, this is going to take a lot of consistent hard work and perseverance. -Tommy Seigler (Edited by: Alex Behi Almond Tree Education, LLC)
