Short History & Mission Statement:
Brief History:
For thousands of years, there has been a group of people who has lived on earth unnoticed. They were a part of the Warring Era during China's unification and as a result, the Hmong people or Miao migrated South East. For the next 2,000 years, this group of people without a king or country thrived in the mountains using whatever limited
resources they had. As the years went by these people eventually became the 18 clans and drifted away from the rest of the world as a mythical race that may or may not have existed in history. to 1955 A.D., the Hmong people lived in peace secluded from the rest of the world until the Vietnam War. Losing the war, the Americans needed assistance in guerrilla warfare. To fill in this role, the Hmong people who lived in the areas of this war were hired as secret CIA agents to support the Americans. Some 15 years later in the 1970's, the Americans decided to pull out of the war. No longer involved in the war, the Americans left and the Hmong were left behind to defend for themselves. For the crimes of assisting the Americans in fighting against the communistic governments in South East Asia, the extinction of the Hmong ethnic group commenced. 25% of their already low population wiped out, the Hmong people kept strong and persevered on. Eventually in the late 1970's and beginning 1980's, groups of Hmong people were finally able to relocate in different areas of the world and start a new life. Mission Statement:
So for thousands of years, the Hmong people has shown qualities of perseverance, discipline, adaptability, and possibility the most important quality, camaraderie. The theme of our gym represented in the name (Lost Breed: Hmong Strength Gym) originates from our long history of struggles. Our mission is to instill these qualities into anyone who is interested in changing their life physically, mentally, and spiritually (regardless of belief). Through physical training people will learn: how to persevere through the pain and hard work in order to achieve their goals; adapt to the changes in their lives as they learn how to adapt to the training we offer; and learn about self-discipline as they achieve their goals. Most importantly when you join our team, you won't have to do it alone. As the most important quality, we don't want you to go through this physical, mental, and spiritual journey alone. Let us work together to continue besting ourselves in every aspect of life and that is the true essence of Lost Breed.
