Here at Absolute MMA, beginners start every day. It’s important to train and participate in every class you attend with beginner’s mentality. There’s value in approaching every class as a chance to learn new skills and be better than you were the day before. This approach holds true in the different combat sports we teach such as boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, judo, Muay Thai, and wrestling. Here’s how you will benefit from training with a beginner’s mentality:
You will ask questions
Why it’s important to train with a beginner’s mentality, A beginner’s mentality requires humility. When you’re humble, you recognize that you don’t know everything. This leads to you asking for help regardless of whether you’re in a grappling class or a striking class. Never be afraid to ask for help. All of your coaches and instructors at Absolute MMA are experienced teachers who know how to help you learn the fighting skills you need to know. They’re invested in your success and will do what it takes to help you accomplish your goals as long as you’re ready to learn. Being willing to ask questions will help you develop your skillset at a faster pace.
You won’t form bad habits
There is a level of risk that comes with combat sports that you won’t find in many other different types of sports due to the risk of injury in training and competition. Because of this risk, it’s really important that you develop solid habits when training. A beginner’s mentality will allow you to receive correction. You will be able to develop a solid foundation that will help you learn more skills throughout your time at Absolute MMA. Always pay attention to the feedback and correction you’re given. The advice and correction you receive could mean the difference between you getting knocked out or walking away untouched in an actual fight.
You will train consistently
True humility in the learning process of martial arts will also lead you to train consistently. Putting in the time and hard work on a regular basis is what will contribute to you being the best you can be. At the end of the day, there isn’t a shortcut to becoming a proficient fighter. You have to put in the time and hard work. A beginner’s mentality teaches you that you’ll greatly benefit from focused, deliberate training. You’ll be sure to see yourself improve as you show up and do your best every day.
As you continue to put in the work and train, you’ll start to add more weapons to your arsenal and be the best fighter you can be. You will be the best version of yourself in all other aspects of your life because of the life lessons you’re learning from martial arts. You’ll be sure to grow and improve because you chose to learn and train with a beginner’s mindset.
