Everyone gets aches and pains. Some from training, some from lack of training. You can agree though, the human body needs a lot of care.

Recently we've been using MobilityWoD's Voodoo Bands to help our recovery at the gym. They're astonishingly effective. The technical aspects of the band involve wrapping them semi-tightly around a joint and then "Flossing" the muscles by working them through a range of motion.

We've found with regular use, it helps alleviate swelling and muscle tightness in the areas it is applied to. With long term joint pain, the bands also neatly eliminate the ache and discomfort for several hours.

I can't recommend the Voodoo Flossing bands enough, we use them daily, and you should too!

People are always searching for the next big thing. The next big weight loss program, the next big muscle building program, or the next way to "boost confidence and self esteem". 

The truth is, there's no secret method. No fad diet will drop 10 lbs in a week and leave you ripped and shredded. No muscle building program will slap on 15 lbs of muscle in 2 weeks. That doesn't mean you can't achieve amazing things though. Progress is made every single day you step over the threshold of your own comfort zone. Every day that you buckle yourself up, hungry to see where you can take yourself next, is a day where you've made another series of incremental steps towards your goal.

The real trick, the real talent, is never giving up. Never letting the momentum grind to a halt. No matter how uncomfortable or scary; holding the line and pushing it ever forward is the key to unlocking every ounce of potential you will have.

If becoming a champion meant staying in our comfort zone, we'd all be wearing medals. 

Cathrine Levan, dropped by the gym to lend a helping hand before we open the doors to Surrey MMA. In her 20's she was one of the worlds fiercest competitors, taking the world title for Women's Kickboxing. 

A great thanks goes out to you Cathrine!

It took hours of sanding, days of scraping and enough hole filler to finish off the grand canyon, but we not only finished the walls; we managed to paint them too!

Played around, painted, and got some taping done! The place is starting to look better and better each day! Wait till you see how this place is going to look once the purple stripe is up.

Foster helps sand down the walls, the bathroom gets a fresh coat of paint, the ceiling tiles are done, and the office gets a beautiful second layer of blue!

The last two days have been a blur, renovations have been going amazing and fast thanks to the hard and dedicated work of our friends and family. Here's some highlights!

Taking down the ceiling tiles for washing and painting! Thank you so much to Zora, Sukhi, and Cam for coming down and helping us make this happen.

Keep posted for more pictures and updates as we get this rolling. 

This is where the "before" picture goes! We've got a long road ahead of us, but within a few short weeks, we'll be kickboxing, grappling, and training hard in the new Surrey MMA Dojo!

We're starting to build up Surrey MMA's new location! Stay tuned for sneak peeks at what the gym is going to look like!
