The title of this episode says it all and it draws from the inspiration of countless one-liners and adages found in the experiences of our guest. Evan Chmieleski is much more than a "former MMA fighter". And he embodies the wisdom he has taken from his years of training and has applied it beyond the mat and out into the world.

Here's more Evan:

Evan began training in 2008 to settle a bet about whether or not he could be an MMA fighter. Taking an amateur MMA fight 5 weeks after the first class he ever took, he found out first hand that he had a lot to learn.

Beginning strictly as an MMA athlete with more toughness and heart than technique and knowledge, his Mixed Martial Arts career, corporate career, and personal life have all had their share of ups and downs. Throughout the past 14 years, Evan has found value in the lessons he has learned through the martial arts. As his experience grew, he realized that the lessons learned through the martial arts are applicable in many situations encountered in both personal and professional life.

Evan’s goal for the Fight For Tomorrow Academy is to truly embody the philosophy that “the true way of the martial arts is to train so that these skills are useful at any time, and to teach these skills so that they will be useful in all things.”

Evan’s martial arts accomplishments include:

Black Belt in Japanese Jiu-jitsu (Shodan)
Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Locked in the Cage Bantamweight Champion
2016 Team USA - Combat Sambo International Presidents Cup Champion (63kg / 139lbs)

Competitor for CFFC (Cage Fury Fighting Championships), Ring of Combat, Locked in the Cage, XCC (Xtreme Caged Combat), F2W (Fight 2 Win grappling) and many other tournaments and events
