Mars Hill Eastside mens MMA club @ Eastside MMA

I have had the good fortune of meeting some really cool people that joined the gym. That is one of the perks of running a gym and being in the fitness industry. I get to meet and know lots of great people. One of these special people is Pastor Lief Moi. Pastor Lief was the first person to sign up for the new MMA program in January. He signed up his two boys Lars and sven. As I got to know Lief more through training together I discovered he was a very real and down to earth man. He is the type of person you can talk to and be real with without being judged. Lief invited me to a morning prayer group for men. I attended a mens prayer group at Mars Hill Eastside. I thought the group of men were very nice, and the fellowship with fellow brothers was a long needed breath of fresh air. I took my family to the church and we decided to attend Mars Hill Eastside regularly. Lief and I talked about starting a mens MMA class for his Church Mars Hill Eastside. Sounded good to me so we announced it at the church and got a overwhelming response. We started running classes on Thursday and Saturday mornings. We start the meetings with about twenty minutes of going through the "Word", then we finish with some basic boxing. Currently we are going through the book of Peter. The group is a lot of fun, I really enjoy teaching the guys and I find the bible study helps me stay grounded. I have made some new friends and training partners. I'm thankful for the opportunity to share with these men. Pastor Jesse Winkler, Mike Angeles, Michael Rood, Lars Moi, Sven Moi, Lief Moi and the entire Moi family for that matter. You all make my life much richer. I'm truly grateful and honored to be able to use my talents in the Martial Arts to serve god and help people get healthier mentally, physically and spiritually.
