Head Kick

On Wednesday, November 24, 2010, Fight Team Try-Outs were held at at Mike Moses’ Evolve Academy in Gaithersburg, MD. The event was for students who were serious about fighting in mixed martial arts and muay thai events. Getting through the event does not offer any guarantees, but only creates an increased expectation to work harder.

During the event, hearts and wills were tested by doing continuous strength and conditioning exercises and martial arts activities. Instructions from Master Moses were very specific and delivered with intensity.  Only one opportunity was given to listen. With coaches hustling, students grinded through various drill activities and physical challenges. Although in a very fatigued state, the participants were expected to maintain their focus and execute after each direction.

Under the watchful eyes of the coaches, the participants were tested against their limits. As the training intensified, the students would rely heavily on mental toughness to get through the evening.

After doing grueling exercises and challenges throughout the session, the participants were lined up at the end of the event. Master Moses addressed the students and layed out expectations from him and his coaching team.  Moses, a veteran of the Marines, felt his students’ conditioning was above and beyond what it takes to be in the military.  He noted to his students that this was just the beginning.
