Once again we are looking at a technique that is connected within all of the systems we teach at elite training center…whether it is Krav maga, Kali, mixed martial arts , Thai boxing, boxing , kid jitsu
Please remember that repetition of the techniques properly is what creates success…

Hook Punch – Bend your arm approx. 90 degrees, lifting at your shoulder so arm is parallel to the ground. Rotate your body in the direction you are punching. For a forward hand hook, shift your body weight to the rear leg and rotate your front foot in the direction of the punch.  For a rear hand hook, shift weight to forward foot as you pivot on rear foot.

Redondo Beach California

Elite Training Center http://www.elitetrainingcenter.net in Redondo Beach, California (Los Angeles South Bay) makes a difference in our world every day. In the summer of 2010, E.T.C. sent forth their instructors to Costa Rica to help impoverished children between the ages of 10 and 14.

E.T.C. instructors Barbara Dalla Riva and Andres Haro lead a self-defense seminar for over 150 children throughout the course of two weeks in Costa Rica. Teaching and exposing them to vital techniques and information that may play a role in saving a life.

Elite Training Center’s function is to give back whenever possible utilizing whatever resources are available to us. In order to best accomplish this goal, E.T.C. did a number of things reflecting their character and virtues every modern day martial artists should live by. Free seminars were held to help raise donations and over 300 students rallied together to acquire socks, gym shorts, sports bras, and jerseys for children in Monterrey and San Jose, Costa Rica. Elite Training Center worked together with a local non-profit organization, Basketball as a Mission www.basketballasamission.org/ to deliver and inspire good throughout our global community.

“I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone at Elite Training Center for their support of Basketball as a Mission. Besides raising funds and gear, you have helped raise awareness of our organization and have given us this great opportunity to reach out to our campers in a new way.” - Colleen Lewis – Basketball as a Mission, Founder & Director

“My experience in Costa Rica was one of the best experiences of my life. E.T.C . plays a different role other than the studies and practicing of the martial arts. We go all the way back to the roots of why martial arts came to be in existence in the first place. Any human being can choose to take up arms and fight for whatever reason her or she may choose. But only a warrior lives a selfless life and dedicates his or herself to the well-being of the community. A warrior commits his or her life in service to others. That is the philosophy we try to abide and instill here at E.T.C . Without these traditional values, the true values and essence of martial will be lost to time which would be a tragic loss for mankind. Looking to help those outside of our South Bay community, We were successful in making an impact on the lives of many impoverished children and their family this summer in Costa Rica. Whether it was in the form of hospitality, receiving new clothes, or sharing information that may make a difference, E.T.C .  is an example of how a community can pull together and truly make a difference in our world today.” - Andres Haro – Elite Training Center, Assistant Program Director

“With the right tools and the right team, I truly believe we can accomplish anything we set our minds to  Our minds where set on making a difference… and we did.” – Shawni Young, Elite Training Center, Program Director

“I have spent my life protecting, serving and teaching martial arts. I view martial arts as an attitude of respect, discipline, and mental focus as well as strength and skill. Everyone can learn martial arts. We have built an environment where everyone can come and learn.  And now we are stepping out to help those unable to come to us.  It is our responsibility to give back what we have been so fortunate to have learned.“ - Brian Rauchbach, Elite Training Center, Chief Instructor & Owner

Elite Training Center is the home of South Bay Krav Maga, Mixed Martial Arts, Kali, Kickboxing, fitness and more.  Elite serves the Los Angeles South Bay and is headquartered in Redondo Beach California.

     Champions have Confidence!
 
Champions understand the key to developing supreme confidence is preparation.
 
In the Martial Arts, the more you practice and train, the better your conditioning will be and the more confident you become in your skills. The more confident you are, the better you feel and the better you perform.
 
Champions have confidence, and that gives them greater strength and fortitude to take aggressive action towards all of their dreams and goals.
 
Quite often, when you gain confidence in one area of life, it shows up in other areas as well. This is why so many of our Junior Black Belt Champions are also academic achievers are well.
 
Any child that is given the gift of confidence will excel in all areas of their life. Athletics, academics and otherwise.
 
In the same regard, adults that become confident, well conditioned Black Belt Champions, often excel in the dojo, in their professional and personal lives as well. It’s very common that a student training for their Black Belt also see peak results in every other area of life.
 
A person that lacks confidence, may be frozen in fear.
 
To achieve outstanding results, you must take great actions. To take great action, you must have the confidence that you can and will succeed.
 
If you want to increase your confidence in any aspect of your life, increase your practice and preparation time.
 
Study Hard, Train Hard & Prepare for Greatness!
