Today we’d like to introduce you to Master Sajid Ahmed.
Master Sajid, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I started learning Martial Arts and Self-Defense at a very early age because of my environmental challenges. Within a few months of martial arts training, I was obsessed with Martial Arts and its benefits.
I became more focused, sharp and confident in everything I was doing. Martial Arts had a very powerful impact on me; I felt like I could achieve anything I wanted in life! I learned discipline, manners, organizing skills, public speaking and real-life skills.
So I decided to make Martial Arts my career, so I can help others in need and I dedicated my life to mastering the Martial Arts. I have studied and trained under some of the most legendary Grandmasters of Martial Arts that have ever lived. I have been honored with Martial Arts Hall Of Fame Awards. World Martial Arts Magazine honored me with the title of “Ambassador Of Martial Arts” and I have been featured in National as well as International Newspapers and Magazines as a “Champion and Master of Martial Arts.”
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Well, life is full of challenges! No doubt about that…
Yes, I went through many obstacles and challenges and it wasn’t a smooth ride at all! But I learned and believe that our life challenges are what makes us better and stronger! I like to change my life challenges and obstacles into opportunities and take advantage of that. Challenges are the source of my strengths and I’m very grateful for that.
For Example: Long ago I got injured during my martial arts training and couldn’t practice for three months, so I took advantage of that time. I spent that three months studying and researching about martial arts, personal transformation, and health & fitness.
People told me that I would never be able to get first place in nationals, but I proved them wrong, and today I’m not just a national and international gold medalist but have received many Martial Arts Hall Of Fame Awards as a master and ambassador of martial arts.
Throughout my life, people told me that I can’t do this and that because of life challenges and obstacles, and I have proven them wrong every single time.
MSA Academy & 3Martial Arts – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
In 2010 we started with “GungFu Fitness International” (GFI) and we had great success with that. Then we changed it to GungFu University, (The Official International Martial Arts University) and we created the curriculum to make it available for everyone. But first we wanted to focus on national level branding, so we recently opened “3 Martial Arts” Academy, which is the very first branch of our GungFu University.
