BJJ Student Gets 1st Place @ VA Beach The Good Fight Tournament

Charlie Craddock, 1st Place Absolute and 2nd Place In His Category

KnuckleUp Brazilian jiu jitsu and MMA student Charlie Craddock dominated The Good Fight tournament in Virginia Beach on August 29th.
Charlie conquered first place in the Absolute No-Gi Beginner division (Absolute means there’s no weight categories – fighters can compete against heavier or lighter opponents) which is in itself a major accomplishment.
But he went on to win 2nd place on his weight category (177-179lbs) in the beginners division as well.
And Charlie is one of the few fighters that actually respects the beginner requirements (less than one year of training) – most competitors forget their time on the mat when signing up.
The entire KnuckleUp team is very proud of Charlie for these two major wins. He’s a dedicated student, and comes to the jiu jitsu classes even when he’s supposed to start his shift right after.
As you can see in the picture […]

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
