A Tale of Dedication, Discipline and Focus

zeerebel — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 02:01:18 +0000

As a coach and a martial arts instructor I have encounter many excuses and reason why people can’t come to class. I am usually stump by some of the reason why. A lot of time it comes down to lack of motivation or improper motivation (external vs internal, I hope to post about this in the near future) and proper planning.

Check out this cool story about dedication, discipline & focus.

…. He was a scrawny little pencil neck that always had an excuse as to why he couldn’t roll, or couldn’t do part of the warm ups. He would just sit to the side, watching the class and doing silly little PT (Physical Therapy) exercises with a rubber band while the rest of us sweated. I watched him do this for a year and a half.Then one day, we had an in-house Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament, and this kid announced he was finally healthy to roll competitively. That’s when the weirdness started – he won the whole thing, beating everyone, including all the Billy Badass bodybuilder types twice his size.

I was absolutely shocked. I finally took the time to talk to the kid, and discovered he had legitimately been battling a series of serious injuries, and had kept re-injuring himself by jumping in too early (because he was so psychoticly motivated), and eventually our (very wise) coaching staff had forced him to take it easy until he was healthy enough to roll. For a year and a half, this kid was simply drilling technique and mentally rehearsing his game (while working a rubber band), and when the time came, he trounced all the guys that were putting in the physical sweat, but failing to engage their minds to learn the “real jiu jitsu”.

Since then, the kid has been either winning his division, or placing in the division above his.

That day, I learned an important lesson about the power of dedication, discipline, and mental focus.

He didn’t miss a day of training, and did everything he was physically capable of doing (and sometimes more). It’s much harder to make yourself learn a technique if you’re physically unable to roll.

Does this story reminds you about another famous martial artist ?? Hint: he is one of the founder of Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Fusion Fitness iFit Introduction Seminar

zeerebel — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 19:29:37 +0000

Don’t miss the opportunity to train with the founder of Fusion Fitness iFit.

Fusion Fitness iFit is a progressive training system. The first training seminar will cover iFit principles. In the future, more seminars – including Instructor Levels will be available.

This particular introductory seminar will cover full body exercise basics, body type for better results, flexibility for weight management and healing as well as basic anatomy and pressure point study.

Functional Fusion iFit ™
Fusion iFit was developed by Sonie Lasker, a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer and Karate World Champion, while she was experimenting with more efficient ways to train her clients in a systematized pattern that would allow for diverse micro cycles and personal growth within the training style.

MS. Lasker combined applied physics, intrinsic geometry and bio-mechanics with Traditional Martial Art principles to create muscular overload without compromising the integrity of the skeletal system. She called this Functional Fusion iFit™.

Think about how we moved when we were children. We ran, jumped, skipped and played. There was no mass loading of the spine. In Fusion iFit, the thought pattern is to bring us back to the childhood way of motion through modern mechanics and an intense understanding of human anatomy.

Every exercise is designed to use the full body while targeting very specific muscles at the same time. This multi-tasking creates a higher benefit per motion ratio for the clients energetic output.

When: Thursday July 15 from 6 pm – 10 pm
Friday July 16 from 10 am – 2 pm

Where: Shoshin Dojo:
1115 E. Main St., Door #1 2nd Floor
Rochester, NY

‘KARATE CHANGED MY LIFE’

zeerebel — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 17:57:06 +0000

Being on her own helped Michaels to become more independent and introspective.

“I learned a lot being on my own,” she says. “I grew up. I had to make money. I learned how to make decisions that are right for me.”

‘KARATE CHANGED MY LIFE’

One of those “right decisions” was taking a martial arts class — something which literally changed her life.

“Karate saved my life,” she says. “It all stopped the day I broke two boards with a kick.”

Armed with a newfound self-confidence and a fitter physique, Jillian became a certified fitness trainer, and auditioned for The Biggest Loser. After starring on the hit reality TV show since 2004, Michaels branched out by writing fitness books, releasing her own fitness DVDs and starring in her own spinoff, Losing It With Jillian.
