A few years ago I was tasked with a challenge. Our school was using a creed that someone else wrote. The creed was great. It had power behind it, but it wasn’t mine. A mentor in the martial arts challenged me to write my own creed. He explained it would better reflect my beliefs and mission I have for my students.
After two years of researching, soul searching, and studying the creeds of other great organizations, I finally was able to write a creed that best reflects the Core Beliefs we hold at Pride Mixed Martial Arts.
I am a Warrior
I am a Champion
I am Strong
I Choose to Live my Life with Purpose, Conviction, and Courage
I Lead by Example for Others to Follow
Uncompromising Integrity is my Standard
My Character and Honor are Steadfast
My Word is my Bond.
My Resolve is Unyielding
I Persevere and Thrive on Adversity
Fear and Weakness have No Place in my Heart
Defeat is Not in my Creed
My Belt is a Symbol of Commitment to my Goals
It Embodies My Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
I Wear it with Pride and Honor
I am a Warrior
I am a Champion
I am Strong
See you on the mat,
Coach Epps
