KB SPOTLIGHT: RYAN

This month’s KB Spotlight series features Ryan, who is a great example of dedication, resilience, and the transformative power of martial arts. Ryan’s journey to achieving Black Belt status in KB Kickboxing shows the power of perseverance, as well as highlighting the profound impact of martial arts training at KB Fitness.

Reflecting on his journey, Ryan shares, “Training at KB has really been a transformative experience – not only has my fitness skyrocketed but also my mental resilience: knowing I can train at the end of a busy working day, and that I have the skill level to train alone if I can’t make it to class.” His words will surely resonate with other members who have found their physical fitness and mental strength have improved hugely as a result of their time at KB Fitness.

For Ryan, the pursuit of a KB Black Belt was fuelled by the sense of fulfilment he felt in attaining the required standard. He elaborates, “One reason I pushed to get a KB Black Belt is the immense sense of accomplishment. Kelly’s standards are incredibly high, which means the satisfaction I gained from reaching that standard is even greater, because of the hard work and time I spent investing in my training.”

Ryan’s journey towards KB Black Belt standard was not without its challenges. Amidst significant changes in his personal life, training at KB Fitness and guidance from Chief Instructor Kelly (KB) remained constant pillars of support. “So much in my life has changed during the grading process – career, lifestyle, and personal life, but I’d say it’s the training at KB and the coaching from Kelly which has been an undoubtable constant during the past 7 years,” he reflects.

Ryan’s story highlights the ethos of KB Fitness – a community dedicated to personal growth, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence. Each member’s journey towards Black Belt standard is unique, with its own set of challenges and triumphs. Some may take longer than others, but every moment spent in the dojo is precious, fostering growth and transformation.

KB Fitness celebrates Ryan’s Black Belt, just as it celebrates each one of its members and their achievements in the school. Through dedication, resilience, and the guidance of experienced KB instructors, KB members like Ryan continue to push the boundaries of their potential, inspiring others to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Reaching Black Belt standard at KB Fitness is indeed remarkable, but achievable, within the supportive and dedicated KB community. We thank Ryan for sharing his experience of the journey to KB Black Belt, and in so doing helping to motivate and inspire those who are keen to start their martial arts journeys.
