New movie “Haywire” Starring MMA Beauty Gina Carano

Can’t wait to check it out. Been a fan of Gina since I saw her on Fight Girls! Think girls can’t fight, checkout some of Gina’s fights! She first started training to just “get into shape” with Muay Thai Kickboxing. Making a name in that sport, the natural progression was onto Mixed Martial Arts. Hope to see her back in the cage again. Plus she quite the cutie!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu near Pepperell, Ma. at Dynamic Martial Athletics

“Beat” the bullying with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training for kids.

got bully?

Whether you have heard of active bullying occurring in your child’s school or your child has had to deal with a bully once before, you may worry whether or not your child will be prepared to make the right decisions if he/she were put in such a high pressure situation.   Childhood bullying can have both short and long term effects even if the bullying has diminished.  Children who experience being bullied usually undergo depression, low self esteem, or decreased confidence.  These effects can also cause a child to do poorly in school or become more anti-social with other students.

While most schools have a no tolerance program for schoolyard fights and bullying; this is only effective when the bullying is brought to a teacher’s or administrator’s attention.  To ensure your child’s safety while he/she is at school, your child must learn the skills to handle and resolve bullying before any physical actions are to occur.  The best way is to enroll your child into a martial arts program.  Studies show that children who take martial arts perform better in school, develop healthier, improved decision-making, and become less likely to be influenced by their peers.

You may wonder, “How will martial arts really help my child when it’s teaching him/her acts of violence?”  Although you may see actors or actresses beating up other characters in action movies or television, this is far from what martial arts is really about.  Mixed martial arts/MMA consists of several styles that have been around for hundreds of years.  These arts are also called ‘disciplines’ for a reason; they promote self discipline as well as control over emotions and the mind.  While there is a variety of types and styles of martial arts, overall, martial arts training is based on non-violence and well-rounded, moral teachings.  Most kids’ activities and sports are centered around fierce competitiveness and solely winning.  However, children in martial arts programs learn not just the sport, but mental and emotional lessons as well.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a discipline that consists of grappling and ground-fighting techniques.  This martial art discipline can teach kids to be stronger, have heightened confidence, and become less prone to being bullied.  With Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a child can gain self-esteem, learn the meaning of respect and courtesy, and can achieve better focus and concentration.  BJJ’s basis focuses on how a smaller or weaker person can defend themselves against a larger opponent through the use of leverage and flexibility.  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/BJJprovides children with the knowledge and skills to handle bullying and other social elements they may be vulnerable to with making intelligent decisions or protecting oneself.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu “A Game of Human Chess”

To many people unfamiliar with the Martial Art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, it may seem like 2 combatants rolling around on the ground trying to “out muscle” each other until one of them “taps out” to a finishing hold or choke. To the contrary, it is a game of skill using leverage, timing and strategy to lead your opponent down a path of no return. Just as in chess, each “player” makes a move and then that move is countered until one can no longer counter and there is a win by checkmate (or in BJJ, a submission).  The tides can turn from offense to defense with one slight mistake. Sometimes it’s a game of inches, sometimes of speed, and yes even sometimes of strength, but in the end it will always be skill that ensures a win.

The magic number…..10,000 Do you have it in you?

Mixed martial arts is just like any other sports endeavor. It takes patience, practice and determination to pursue your personal best. You don’t become an expert overnight……………………….

10,000 hours of deliberate practice to become an expert? That’s a lot of hours, right? So does this mean, if you are not a born athlete, you can become great with hours and hours of practice? Is this what sets an elite athlete apart from a mediocre athlete? Or are they just born with gifted, had the perfect parents who bequeathed them with the right genes to excel, raised in the right environment?

Well, according to Dr. Ericsson‘s research, it could just plainly be that elite athletes are determined and willing to put in the hours of practice and make sacrifices in order to perfect their chosen field of love.

“But determination is also a huge component of success. You have to love what you do in order to put in the roughly 10,000 hours of deliberate practice that Anders Ericsson’s famous research indicates is needed to become an expert”

APA. What does it take psychologically to be an elite athlete? Is it all about training and natural gifts or is personality key?

Dr. Murphy. That’s a great question, and if we knew the real answer, we’d be able to develop more Olympic champions. Definitely, talent is key. You need to have physical abilities to excel in a sport and speed, strength, endurance and coordination are vital. But determination is also a huge component of success. You have to love what you do in order to put in the roughly 10,000 hours of deliberate practice that Anders Ericsson’s famous research indicates is needed to become an expert. But I think many different types of personalities can become successful Olympians. Certainly we see a wide variety of personality types on the USA Olympic team.

This is the article I got the idea from.

When you don’t give up, you cannot fail.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going! Quitters never win!

Both famous inspirational quotes that we have all heard before. But they are only words. What actions are you taking in your life to develop the “will” not give up on yourself? The ability to push yourself beyond your comfort-zone can be developed through mixed martial arts training and will carry over in all area’s of your life. In the practice of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, there are many situations where you will be pinned in a position that may seem impossible to escape. Learning to relax and access the situation will help, but in the end it’s is your pure will to not give up that will carry you to victory!

Not martial arts related, but a great video!

Bootcamp Workouts – Best bang for your Buck!

Bootcamp Fitness Classes Rock!

Bootcamp Workouts Crush Boredom. 

Always challenging, never boring, and time goes by in the blink of an eye when you’re engaged in so many different types of exercises. Time can drag when you’re walking on a treadmill, but with a bootcamp workout, you’ll look up and see the session is almost over.

Bootcamp Workouts Give a complete Aerobic, Anaerobic and Muscle Toning Workout. 

If you have limited time to exercise, a bootcamp workout is one of the most efficient programs around. It allows you to get burn calories and build strength in a single workout. Despite working out for a shorter duration, you’ll still burn a substantial number of calories due to the intensity of the workout.

Bootcamp Workouts Ignite the AfterBurners. 

Because you’re moving rapidly from exercise to exercise and working upper and lower body at the same time, these types of workouts help your body continue to burn big calories long after the session is over. You can expect to burn off up to 600 calories or more per hour during a single session and keep burning calories at a higher rate for hours, even while at home sitting on your couch.

Bootcamp Workouts Build Confidence. 

There’s no better feeling than successfully completing a bootcamp workout. You’re tired and sweaty, exhausted and yet strangely energized and empowered. Each workout builds confidence in your physical ability which can carry over to all aspects of your life.

The Bottom Line

Bootcamp type classes are an excellent way to enhance aerobic capacity and help control body weight. It’s a great workout with great variety. It’s a good combination of aerobic exercise and muscle conditioning and it’s much more of a total-body workout than just going out for a run or bicycle ride.”

But remember, not all bootcamp workouts are created equal. Some are heavy on cardio, while others emphasize martial arts–inspired movements or basic strength-training exercises. For best results, pick a well-balanced program with equal helpings of aerobic movements and calisthenics.

If you are looking for something that’s fun and variable that will increase your adherence to an exercise program, and most importantly, burn a lot of calories, bootcamp workouts are a really great option!
