One Life - Stay Ready: The Mission Behind the Movement

At One Life - Stay Ready, we believe in more than just apparel—we believe in a way of life. A life where strength, purpose, and preparedness are the foundation for everything we do. Whether it’s training your body, sharpening your mind, or protecting your family, the Stay Ready mindset is about never being caught off guard.

But this isn’t just about t-shirts. It’s about a movement that spans across everything we do, from fitness and self-defense to leadership and survival skills. That’s why One Life - Stay Ready connects to a bigger ecosystem—one that includes 1LifeStayReady.com, C.RayKnowles.com, DaddyFightClub.com, and PhenixFitt.com.

Let’s break it down.

C.Ray Knowles: The Man Behind the Mission

If you want to understand the driving force behind One Life - Stay Ready, you have to start with its founder, C. Ray Knowles. As a self-defense instructor, fitness coach, entrepreneur, and protector, he has dedicated his life to helping others train hard, stay strong, and be ready for anything.

Through C.RayKnowles.com, you’ll find insights into self-protection, mindset development, and real-world training that prepare you for whatever challenges life throws your way.

Daddy Fight Club: Protect, Teach, Defend

DaddyFightClub.com was born from the realization that every father is a protector—but not every father knows how to defend his family. That’s why Daddy Fight Club exists. It’s more than just a self-defense program; it’s a community of fathers committed to mastering situational awareness, combat skills, and real-world tactics to keep their families safe.

Through online courses, live training, and hands-on workshops, Daddy Fight Club equips men with the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to be their family’s first and last line of defense.

PhenixFitt: Train Like Your Life Depends on It

Your ability to defend yourself and your loved ones starts with how well you move, how strong you are, and how resilient your body is. That’s where PhenixFitt comes in.

Through PhenixFitt.com, we help people build the kind of functional strength, mobility, and endurance that carries over into real life. Whether it's kettlebell training, mobility work, or the Ultimate Commitment Program, PhenixFitt is about training with a purpose—not just for aesthetics, but for preparedness.

One Life - Stay Ready: The Brand That Ties It All Together

All of this comes together under 1LifeStayReady.com, where we bring strength, self-defense, and preparedness into a lifestyle brand. Our graphic tees are more than just designs—they are statements of resilience, discipline, and purpose.

We create bold, high-quality apparel that represents the warrior mindset—whether you’re in the gym, training for self-defense, or standing for what you believe in. Each design speaks to those who train hard, stand strong, and never let life catch them unprepared.

Esse Unum: Be The One

At the heart of One Life - Stay Ready is the Latin phrase “Esse Unum”, which means “Be The One.” It represents the unity of mind, body, and purpose—the alignment of strength, readiness, and action. It’s a call to embrace discipline, train with intent, and embody the warrior spirit in every aspect of life.

To Be The One means to be fully prepared, fully engaged, and fully committed to protecting and strengthening yourself and those you care about. It’s about living with purpose, standing strong, and staying ready—because in life, you don’t get a second chance to be ready.
