Athletes understand that the body is a tool that will go to rust if not taken care of. They endeavor to push the limits of their bodies and become better fighters for it.
Many Athletes tend to not only get plenty of exercise, but often tend to eat healthy and be aware of fitness concepts. Others come into the practice through an occupation – dedicated hikers, sport coaches, or even Rangers. Dedicated Martial Artists come easily into the Athlete lifestyle.
