The Hyland TWINS - Nathan & Nolan

family first

The Hyland Twins, Nathan and Nolan, entered the world minutes apart and forged through life staying by each other’s side.  They are men of many talents: fighters, rugby players, and businessmen-former owners of Rage in the Cage, the second longest running MMA promotion in the country.  Originally from Pittsburg, PA they both now reside in Gilbert, AZ and are active in the Arizona fight scene.  The Hyland Twins live and breathe the philosophy and lifestyle that is martial arts – Strength, Discipline, Sacrifice and Respect.

They took time out from their training to share a little bit about themselves with the Human Weapon Family.

 

 

FAMILY CREST

Between fights you'll often find Mike camping and hunting in the mountains. Share in his lifelong passion with this Mountain Life shirt.

FAMILY FIRST

The Shotokan Tiger tee represents contained power.  The circle is only broken to release the power to defend ourselves or others from an attack.

Human weapon

Proudest accomplishment: Finished the Rachel Carson 34 Mile Adventure Race near the top at just over 10 hours

Toughest moment and how you persevered through it: Battling depression and anxiety in my late teens/ early twenties. I battled through it with a combination of counseling, clinging to my loved ones for support, and immersed myself in fitness and martial arts. It is what truly spawned my commitment to a life of martial arts and self fulfillment. 

What does being a Human Weapon mean to you: Being a human weapon for me means possessing the confidence to defend myself and others, but vowing to never misuse my skills; always being disciplined and using diplomacy and resolve before resorting to violence. To always feel in control and know my mind is the greatest weapon I posses. 

Advice to others on their warrior’s journey: Martial arts is not about being a tough guy or proving you can beat other people physically. The battle you wage is against yourself. Defeating your ego, your anger, your doubt and building your ability to believe in yourself and grow as a human.

What does being a Human Weapon mean to you: Human Weapon, to me, means being a finely sharpened weapon in all aspects of life. Every day I choose to sharpen myself to conquer my adversaries in life and to advance on all viable opportunities. 

Advice to others on their warrior’s journey: We all have our own missions, agenda's, and conquests on our own respective journeys. But whatever you choose to do... Operate with conviction, compassion, and for the common good.
