The wave of emotions, the roar of the crowd–it truly is unforgettable. Today FightCamp Trainer Rocky Harris shares her experience about her first time stepping into the ring.\n\nAt 19 years old, Rocky stepped into the ring for her first kickboxing match. Before this fight, she was a first degree black belt in karate, winning dozens of tournaments. Although Rocky was successful in karate, she wanted a challenge and decided to compete in a different style. Leading up to her first fight and during her training camp, her confidence was at an all-time high. She had so much success thus far, and was ready to go.","My First Time In The Ring",{"_uid":2473,"answer":2474,"question":2475,"component":738},"9ca8f0a9-b39f-4732-b796-005d7abfeb56","During training for her upcoming match, Rocky’s coach had her doing a lot of stylistic drills and pad work, never really focusing on the basics. With her karate tournament wins and success so far, she almost felt she had an advantage. She was anxious to show everyone just how good she was and what she was capable of in this new area.\n\nBut one week before the fight, everything changed. Rocky injured her wrist while training and was no longer able to deliver blows with her left hand. She did the smart thing and called the fight promoter to inform him of her injury and that she would have to pull out of the fight. Sadly, that individual was not respectable nor ethical and threatened to blacklist her from all future fights and promotions if she did not fight in the match. He also threatened to tell all the other promoters in New York about her pulling out.","Confidence High",{"_uid":2477,"answer":2478,"question":2479,"component":738},"a11822e4-ae23-4db5-8301-4a40dc4a58c1","Scared and not quite sure what to do, Rocky decided to take her injury and instead view it as a challenge. She was not going to back down now. Having watched numerous action and martial arts movies growing up, she remembered the movie, The Karate Kid, and how Danielson injured his leg in his big fight against Cobra Kai and was still able to win. If he could do it and fight with one leg, so could I with one hand, she said to herself. With renewed confidence, she went into the fight looking for the knockout that could be made as the next great underdog story. Or so she thought.\n\nOne of Mike Tyson’s famous quotes is “everyone's got a plan 'til they get punched in the mouth.” Sadly, this was true for Rocky. As soon as fight night came and her opponent hit her, all of her training went out the window. She thought she had been hit with a rock and as she likes to tell it, she was “fresh meat in the middle of the jungle.”","A Setback Is a Setup For a Comeback",{"_uid":2481,"answer":2482,"question":2483,"component":738},"49d3f7df-85bd-4a63-b63a-ec5e07878cdb","She felt like she had forgotten everything from her training, how to punch, and even who she was as a fighter. She was scared, and she found herself in survival mode. Between rounds, her coach gave her pointers, but she couldn’t remember what was said. She told herself that she had two rounds–two more chances to try and knock her opponent out and turn this fight into a triumphant story.\n\nUnfortunately, she never got the knockout, but she learned a lot from that first fight.\n\n“It's not always about the tools that you have in the shed, you don't need so many options. It’s really just about the basics.” And that is what Rocky really appreciates so much about FightCamp. “With FightCamp, we don't just throw you into the ring. We start you off with the basics.

So when I got better people saw that and it made them want to train with me. However, what really got thinking about becoming a personal trainer is when I started working with Usher. At first Usher called me to teach him how to b-boy. While learning how to dance, Usher saw me training and he wanted me to be his trainer. He is the reason why I started doing this.

Of course, everyone hopped on the opportunity. As for me, I used it as an excuse to spend more time in the Dojo. My Sensei signed my internship papers and asked me to sub the kids' classes. It was harder than I imagined. The kids wouldn’t listen (even when I was assertive) and seemed bored of me. My Sensei started teaching me techniques to capture their attention and hold it. Later, I became the kids' favorite, and had an awesome time leading them into Karate tournaments. I remember wanting to be a part of their lives long-term, perhaps open my own Dojo, but I know how much my Sensei had struggled financially. In the end, I didn’t see it as a lucrative lifestyle. Throughout my years doing fitness, I had friends ask me to train them, and I landed my first corporate fitness job teaching adult kickboxing. Watching people’s growth from beginner to advanced was the ultimate return on my investment. I was becoming really good at it. Soon after, a friend pulled me to the side and told me that he could see me becoming a top trainer in New York, then encouraged me to start my own business. He mentored me for the first month, and after my first year, I was able to make enough to support taking weeks off for vacations, entering fight camps, and to move to my dream neighborhood. I went on to train the Murdoch family, a bunch of cool people, and made life-long friendships. I know the impact my coaches had on me, and I know I make the same impact when I get heartfelt messages from clients.
