25.01.2022 Congratulations for stepping up ! Mark Gibbons Scott Larkin

24.01.2022 "As you may be aware, Pride of Bettermen Inc. has decided to cut ties with Fight Like a Pro and our Pride of Bettermen program. It has recently been brought to our attention that Pride of Bettermen Inc. have created a new social media presence and are offering paid memberships for their association by contacting our past and present fighters using various photos and words taken from our social media platforms, without our consent. We want to make it clear that we are no longer associated in any way with Pride of Bettermen Inc., despite how Pride of Bettermen Inc. might be presented to you. Our focus remains on changing lives through our Fight Like a Pro, Pride of Bettermen, Rite of Passage and the Modern Man programs with you, our loyal supporters."

24.01.2022 A few flurries of punches to the pads ... snap, snap! It was just my cernerman and I in a quiet room out the back warming up to what would be... at any moment now... my very first fight. I could hear the noise of the crowd, as they cheered for the lads out in the ring. It would be my turn soon. Very soon....Continue reading

24.01.2022 A story of the rite of passage book

23.01.2022 Today we made history first ever 15 day online and in person modern man Immersion rite of passage Over the last 20 odd years We have created something that gives men what they need ... Encouragement a place where we can be open honest and real and support which we all need The commitment from these men to travel from Victoria sunshine coast north Queensland Plus the Gold Coast I can’t wait for next month when we do it again !

23.01.2022 We caught up with Col the other week and had a chat about how he first got involved with Fight Like a Pro. Most participants come in with little to no boxing experience- however, before coming to Fight Like a Pro, Col had an amazing career as a professional fighter & coach. Have a listen.... PS.

21.01.2022 As I walked away from the aftermath of 11 laps of the stairs this morning... legs still shaking... I had a realization. No matter how good you are. No matter how hard you try. No matter whether you hit a PB or not... no matter whether you win, lose... or draw. There is no end. ... You can never really reach a pinnacle moment and say I’ve done it... Well you can. But that’s like trying to find gold at the end of a rainbow. We often in our minds cast a vision of what success will look like... When we reach it. Like success is a ‘THING’ we attain. Perhaps for a fleeting moment, yes... it can appear that way. But true success... it so turns out, is not a destination. It’s not a thing. No...no. It is a FEELING. We feel success. We don’t achieve it. And the moment you say to yourself I’ve done it... I’ve succeeded... I’ve attained it, and put the axe down... you know what happens? Rust starts to appear. The blade becomes blunt. Termites eat into the timber... The axe, starts to rot. And the sense of success you once FELT is now gone. Why? Because the stone upon which you used to grind your axe... to keep it shiny... to keep it sharp... is also gone. You see... where there is no pain, there is no reprieve. Where there is no challenge, there can be no achievement. The stone... is just as important as the axe. But we never look for the stone. We don’t look for the challenge, we don’t look for the opportunity to suffer. We don’t look for the stairs! We instead... look for the elevator And... we miss the mark. We miss the grind. We miss the one thing that causes us to feel our success. So how do you find that feeling of success again if you’ve lost it? Well... Luckily... there’s these stairs. And they are magic Their concrete can sharpen even the bluntest of blades... and shake off even mountains of rust... from the lost decades of you living in comfort. But you have to bring yourself along ... to grind yourself against them, to sharpen your body... and most importantly sharpen your mind. And no matter how long it’s been since you climbed them... You’ll always leave them with a FEELING of success. Because remember... success is a feeling, not a thing. And it doesn’t matter how good you already are, your axe can alway be sharper... So the trick is... to find an endless stone to grind it on... and don’t set it down again for too long. #magicstairs By Lloyd J. Ross The Diamond

21.01.2022 Testimonial from Keith Hussey What a champion! Hey men, the 15 Day Immersion course was a great thing to be a part of. ... Working through the 7 Pillars made me think about myself and has given me a real lift in my mood and shown me a path forward to be a better man. As I worked through each Pillar I could see how each Pillar supported the other and how together they make a man grow and become better. Day 15 was awesome , starting with the breakfast at 6am with Lloyd J. Ross speaking, put me in a great mood to learn more. Meeting with the other Immersion guys at Gav's place was an uplifting experience with everyone telling their story about there life and the challenges they face. Listening to the guys answering the questions around each Pillar, I quickly realised I was not alone on this journey of life and it also gave me some perspective with regards to my problems . To end the day with a couple of rounds of boxing was something I just couldn't miss. If anyone is not sure about doing the course, I say just do it! you won't be disappointed. See more

16.01.2022 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - FIGHT LIKE A PRO AND BETTERMEN For the past 11 years we have put over a 1000 men thru our Fight Like a Pro - Rite of Passage with the focus on making Bettermen. Better Husbands, Better Fathers, Better Sons, and Leaders in our community. During this time there have been many changes in the world and the role of a man.... None more so than this year, where we have seen the role of the Modern Man changing, which led to me to putting all I had learnt and the experience I had gained thru spending time with thousands of men, in writing a book and creating the Online Rite of Passage Since closing the Fight Like a Pro venue in Burleigh in March last year we have spent many months trialling different venues, training schedules and locations to facilitate the existing program, with the Bettermen group that I had created and that many people know me for. This group had become a registered charity to support the Fight Like a Pro cause but, sadly, have now gone off in a different direction. The Pride of Bettermen is no longer associated with Fight Like a Pro. We are more than happy to announce that during this time we have had time to test and measure some other areas that allow us to reach every man locally thru our Fight Like a Pro Rite of Passage and globally thru our Online Rite of Passage. Whilst we are very thankful for the support given to us by World Gym Ashmore, our Train Like a pro program and club will now run from our home base in the beautiful Tallebudgera Valley. Make sure to follow us on the Fight Like a Pro Facebook page to view the training schedule. The Fight Like a Pro program will restart when the COVID restrictions ease. Online, help us grow by joining us at The Modern Man on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/344639953388441 Gavin Topp Founder of Fight Like a Pro - A Rite of Passage

14.01.2022 In the days of the oil booms in North America... prospectors would be on a constant journey, looking for oil hot spots. They knew... that if they struck one oil well... they would be rich! They drilled and drilled. ... Most didn’t succeed. Why? Because they drilled for a while in a nice looking spot... and then stopped to go off and find a new spot. The few who did succeed... Did it differently. They would look for a sludge swamp... not a nice spot at all. And they would wade through the sludge... Drilling deeper and deeper. Not moving from one place to another. They didn’t find the oil straight away. But they knew it would be there, beyond the muck. The same goes for you. Your oil. The liquid gold inside of you, is found when you wade through the sludge of adversity... And if you don’t find it first time, don’t stop drilling. Keep going. Those who quit at the first sign of adversity, never strike it rich in any area of their life. Look to wade through the sludge to get your oil. Don’t just look for the easy road. It can’t be found there. If you want to know what you’re made of... if you want to see what riches lay inside you, then the best thing to do... is drill. Running dunes is sludgy work. Physically. Mentally. But it’s where you find what you’re made of. It creates mental toughness pushing yourself... And that mental toughness can be used in all parts of your life thereafter. But it’s certainly not created by sleeping in... in a soft, warm bed... Ain’t no oil to be found there. #TheModernMan Tag a mate Invite a mate to the group

08.01.2022 Changing the world One man at a time! Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of a man.... The masculine heart needs a place where nothing is prefabricated, modular, non fat, zip lock, franchised, online or microwaveable. Where there are no deadlines, cell phones, or committee meetings. Where there is room for his soul. To feel the rhythm of the earth, a tiller of a boat, a set of reigns, the roughness of rope, feet in sand... or simply a shovel. Where the geography around him corresponds to the geography of his heart... A heart which yearns for battles to fight, adventures to live and a beauty to rescue. When was the last time you physically tested yourself as a man? When was the last time you swam in the ocean? When was the last time you felt truly alive? Does your life as a man resemble the adventure films you watched growing up as a boy... or is it more like a constant, predictable rerun of neighbours? If you’re tired of the monotony... Then it could be time to pick a fight. A fight to rediscover your manhood. Where does it begin? It begins at gavintopp.com See you there

06.01.2022 Fight Like A Pro Update It's been a wild and exciting year! Here's an update from our founder Gavin Topp.

06.01.2022 Getting up in the rain early on a Saturday morning... to run up and down Sand Dunes is challenging. But you know what’s more challenging? Not doing it. ... Wait... what? Yep. You heard me correctly. If you want life to be easy, do what is hard. If you want life to be hard, keep doing what’s easy. If you don’t exercise... your body will become sick, and life will become hard. If you don’t challenge yourself... your mental strength will not grow, you’ll not develop self esteem, resilience or confidence, and life will become hard. If you don’t get around good people... your decision making will suffer, and you’ll be influenced down the wrong path, and life will become hard. So for us... you can see why it’s actually far harder to sleep in... than it is to get up and do this together. Start leaning into what’s hard, and you’ll find yourself amongst uncommon men. And when you get around uncommon men, doing uncommon things... you’ll get uncommon results. And that’s how you live a life above the line of average. #hangtough #themodernman Ps... from the look of this pic it’s good to see Gibbo can sleep and run! with Mark Gibbons and 6 others. Was

05.01.2022 Gavin sat down with current Fight Like A Pro contestant and serial entrepeneur Aaron Ware last week to have a chat.

05.01.2022 Did you go through a proper Rite of Passage? OR Did you go through the unwritten rite of passage in western culture that breeds undeveloped men?... PS. If you haven't already... you can get a copy of my book @ www.gavintopp.com

05.01.2022 Where we are having impact ? It’s amazing !

04.01.2022 Why I started boxing... My old man opened the door to my bedroom on a Sunday morning, to see my bloody face and clothes. He looks at me and said,... "Son, I think we better teach you how to fight." And thats where my journey started.
