P.B.}>Personal Best. How do you make this your personal best?

No matter if it’s the Krav Maga kickboxing, Thai boxing, Kali or MMA (mixed martial arts) you are taking at elite they all teach you that the more you train, the greater energy you’ll have to train and to accomplish other things as well.
What’s the best way to make this your best year ever?
Get into class frequently, arrive early enough for a good warm up and give
your best effort and attention to learning the details. The combination

“Goals We Set – Are Goals We Get!”
New Years 2010 is here and most people have hopes and dreams to see it be their best year ever. We encourage you to take the time to put all your wishes and dreams down on paper. Called a WISHLIST or VISION for 2010, because that’s exactly what it is, a list of wishes, hopes and dreams.
If you had a magic wand in your hand and could create a perfect year for yourself in the next 12 months…what would it look like?
What kind of shape would you be in? What Martial Art skills would you possess?
What would your business and career life be like? How about your income and financial success? How much money would you have in savings?
Writing down your wishes and dreams is a great exercise. It’s also a lot of fun and it helps you to start thinking about creating the goals that will move you in the direction of your dreams.
Once you’ve created your WISHLIST or VISION for 2010, the next step is to create a 90 Day Massive Action Plan.
These are the actions you are going to take to make your dreams and goals become a reality. Your M.A.P.}>Massive Action Plan.
Experts agree the moment you take action on your dreams, you have begun the process of Goal Achievement. The first action should always be to write them your goals down on paper. Better known as Think it…Ink it!
Never leave the sight of a goal without taking action. Goal Setting is such an essential and powerful tool for success in the Martial Arts and in life.
Our Black Belt Success System is a great example of Goal Setting in action. Becoming a Black Belt Champions takes an average of 3-5 years for those that set their sights on it early. This would be considered a long range goal.
The best way to achieve a long range goal is to break it down into bite sized portions. Do this by creating short and mid-range goals that lead you toward your ultimate long range objective.
Just like the STEP X STEP process in the Journey to Black Belt. Whether you are doing martial arts such as Krav Maga, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA, Ju-Jitsu, kickboxing, or others, setting goals will help you progress.

A recent Wall Street Journal article confirmed what most of us know in our hearts; That exercise is good for all our systems:
As millions of Americans flock to the gym armed with New Year’s resolutions to get in shape, medical experts are offering an additional reason to exercise: Regular workouts may help fight off colds and flu, reduce the risk of certain cancers and chronic diseases and slow the process of aging.
Physical activity has long been known to bestow such benefits as helping to maintain a healthy weight and reduce stress, not to mention tightening those abs. Now, a growing body of research is showing that regular exercise—as simple as a brisk 30- to 45-minute walk five times a week—can boost the body’s immune system, increasing the circulation of natural killer cells that fight off viruses and bacteria. And exercise has been shown to improve the body’s response to the influenza vaccine, making it more effective at keeping the virus at bay.
“No pill or nutritional supplement has the power of near-daily moderate activity in lowering the number of sick days people take,” says David Nieman, director of Appalachian State University’s Human Performance Lab in Kannapolis, N.C. Dr. Nieman has conducted several randomized controlled studies showing that people who walked briskly for 45 minutes, five days a week over 12 to 15 weeks had fewer and less severe upper respiratory tract infections, such as colds and flu. These subjects reduced their number of sick days 25% to 50% compared with sedentary control subjects, he says.
Whether you are studying Krav Maga, Kickboxing, MMA, or cardio classes, you can increase your health and reduce your sick time in addition to improving your physique. We look forward to seeing you on the mat at Elie Training Center in Redondo Beach CA.
