QUOTES

  • "You know what's cool is people could use that same mindset in anything. Like you don't have to have your back against the wall. You don't have to lose everything that you own to have that mindset. As a matter of fact, it's probably less painful if you would just take that mindset on now. Like ‘I'm going to succeed no matter what it takes.’ And that one mindset man will totally transform your and your family's life.” - Ron Sell
  • “I think it's all about creating community. Often as martial artists, we focus on position of the hands, position of the thumbs, position of the pinkies. And sometimes we forget for the martial art to think that we're working with human beings, we're working with people.” - Adam Spicar
  • “I couldn't be more proud of, you know, what our program does. And you are 100% sure we are changing lives. It's amazing. You know, we get up in the morning and we go change somebody's lives. We empower them. It's great." - Adam Spicar
  • "KPIs are key performance indicators. They are numbers that you look at because if you look at the numbers of your business, you can see, you can spot weaknesses. I don't know about you, but I love weaknesses because then I know I can make them stronger, right?" - Ron Sell
