Is patience through the hardship of learning martial arts or sports considered the kind of patience for which a person is rewarded?

Patience is of three types: patience with Allah's trials, patience in obeying Him, and patience in refraining from disobeying Him. As for patience in the arts of war and sports, its owner is rewarded for it if his intention is preparation, which Islam has encouraged. However, if the intention is for worldly gains, then he will have what he intended.
