Today we’d like to introduce you to Tyrus Cox.
Hi Tyrus, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, how can you bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My journey began over 15 years ago. I was a former athlete that put on over 30 pounds after college. I was looking for a way to lose weight and tried a kickboxing class at a local gym. After class, the instructor asked if I wanted to stay for Jiu-Jitsu. I had no idea what that was. He told me it was wrestling, and I decided to try it. He partnered me with someone half my size, and I became a human pretzel for the next hour. It was amazing! I knew I had to learn this art. Fast forward to today, I have my school with over 75 members who love to come in for several martial arts classes ranging from Boxing to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Filipino Martial Arts.
We all face challenges, but would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road could have been smoother than opening a school. Outside of the fear of a potential member starting something new, there is always the chance of keeping a good retention rate among those training. Although our classes help people become fit and relieve stress, it is still an optional expense that’s not a priority compared to other utilities. We understand that and offer a very affordable rate to mitigate this issue.
As you know, we’re big fans of Amalgam Grappling Academy/Centex Combatives. What can you tell our readers who might not be as familiar with the brand?
Centex Combatives & Fitness is a training facility dedicated to helping people learn how to protect themselves effectively through real-world tactics.
