Elite Training Center: Redondo

Hello Everyone,
The Redondo Beach Fire Dept Station #1 is in a contest. It was on the news and whoever gets the most votes, they get a new kitchen and they sure could use it. The funds they had been saving twice went to fix the roof and another time for upgraded medical supplies.

www.rescueremodel.com and scroll down till you find RB Station #1.

Thank you for supporting our local fire department.

Really great to see all of the various martial arts careers unfold and progress at Elite. The movement and commitment the instructors have been witnessing continue to impress and make us proud. I’m eager to keep moving forward and continue to evolve with you all in the future. Great job yet again students of Elite!

Work and training are usually synonomous. The idea of something that can make you better both physically and mentally is too often discarded as inherently fun. Shouldn’t the outcome of beneficial results be deemed fun?

Most of the Elite Training Center’s student body “work” hard. Does that mean that when learning people aren’t having fun? Semantics can often lend to negative connotations when it comes to exercise and fitness. But the light at the end of the tunnel, the “beacon of fun” is the reward. Why not look towards the beacon with fervor unparalleled? Why do we not find pleasure or bliss knowing that our bodies and minds are getting better and stronger. If a martial artist can shift one’s mindset to seeing training as fun and not as laborous, would the result be the same?

Krav Maga, Muay Thai Kickboxing, BJJ and Kali Silat all require extraordinary amounts of training to become good at them. Shift your mindset to fun!

What an incredible display of hard work and resilience. Our first Kickboxing promotion will definitely be something to remember. It was an honor to hold for those of you I was lucky enough to have at the end. Everyone gave 110% and did phenomenal. We are all so very proud of you all and I look forward to witnessing your Thai Boxing continue to evolve. Well done!!

Another astounding job in tonight’s Krav Maga class. “We don’t train for the 9 guys we can beat. We train for the one guy that can beat you.” -Coach Johnson. It’s really great to witness the fire ignite inside you all, it makes me proud to be your instructor…

  Think Big – Dream Big – Achieve Big!
 ​
Think Big…Dream Big…Achieve Big…is all about seeing a bigger picture of what you really want to achieve in life. Big Goals demand our best effort,
energy and focus. They bring out the best in us and force us to grow. We need to have goals when training whether it be within Krav Maga, kickboxing or Thai Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, Kali or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu…
 
To experience a QUANTUM LEAP YEAR you must strive for achieving BLACK BELT EXCELLENCE instead of accepting MEDIOCRITY in any area of your life.
 
Do you want to be an A-rated student or be satisfied as a “B” or a “C”?
 ​
Would you rather be wealthy -or- poor for the rest of your life?
 
Which goal would motivate you to stay focused and take more action?
 
When you think big and strive to achieve big, it’s much more exciting and causes you to take more positive action than when you think small and aim for easy targets that are set low.
 
Think Big…Dream Big…Achieve Big and make a Bigger Difference in the lives of others as well.
 
Training to be an A-rated Black Belt Champion is a big, exciting and purposeful goal. It’s a goal that has life long lasting benefits and causes people of all ages to transform their habits, attitudes and actions. It will change and improve their mental, physical and emotional well being.
 
Similar to any big achievement, it’s not what you get, it’s what you become.
 
In our Goal Setting for Greatness series, we encourage you to…
​
THINK BIG – DREAM BIG – ACHIEVE BIG…
 With this mindset you will not fail when training within  Krav Maga, kickboxing or Thai Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, Kali or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu…or anything else you set your mind too..
Nobody suddenly becomes a World Class athlete or achiever.
 
Make 2012 your Best Year Ever by staying  focused on your BIG GOALS and GO FOR IT!

Staying alert in every situation can seem like a lot of work. Training every day cam seem challenging as well. However, by instilling a daily routine of training that enforces the necessity of heightened awareness can kill two birds with one stone.

Krav Maga, Kali Silat, BJJ and Muay Thai Kickboxing are geared towards staying steps ahead of an attacker or opponent. It is this mindset that can lead to instilling a heightened sense of awareness without really focusing on it.

Often times new students enter Elite Training Center’s doors and say, “I wanna get fit” or “I wanna lose weight.” Fitness is the reward from martial arts training; a heightened sense of awareness is another. Thus with the regimented practice of martial arts training there are many positive results.

Each year we all come “shooting” out of the gates of the New Year! We start new diets, new exercise routines, and cut out things we recognize as frivolous or detrimental to living a healthy lifestyle..

Then we snap back to reality because of one excuse, not a reason. Recognize the difference between the two.

There is no 1 time, fix it all, “meta” tool to improve your lifestyle. It is about devoting yourself to steadily and gradually improve. The martial arts taught at Elite Training Center (Redondo Beach, CA) weren’t discovered in a day. Like anything else we undertake in our lives it is important to put the necessary time in to steadily improve.

Krav Maga, Kali Silat, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Jiu Jitsu (Japanese Jiu Jitsu as well as BJJ) are still discovering new ways to apply techniques.

Take a developmental approach to your New Year. Try new things out that can improve one or two aspects of your life. Be conscious about your decisions and don’t try, DO what you must. Make the tough decision as the reward will be sweeter this time next year.

Hope everyone had a joyous and restful New Year! Time to hit the mat again and get back at it. Remember that our Krav Maga and Kickboxing promotions are coming up this month. Feel free to ask any of the instructors or myself any questions or concerns about the techniques. We are always happy to help and look forward to see everyone succeed!
