THE JUNGLE GYM TRIBE LETTER – 10/2/17

STATE OF THE JUNGLE
Coming up in November, we have Edwin Solis, Daniel Rodriguez, and Victor Landeta fighting for 3 MMA titles at the Aggressive Combat Championships. Daniel Rodriguez is on the cusp of going pro so this fight will help sharpen his skills for the jump to pro.  Coming off of a win Edwin is looking to keep that momentum going. Victor is getting back in the cage after getting a taste for victory years ago in his first couple of fights. Tickets will be available soon.

KIDS PROGRAM
It’s all about repetitions!  I’ve been asked several times by parents about what can be done to help their child improve. To put it simply, they just have to keep showing up.  The more times a week your child is showing up to class, the faster progress you’re going to see.  For kids who are eligible, the Lions of Leadership Program is going to be another way to skyrocket your child’s progress. In this program kids will spend more time on the mat and begin to learn more advanced techniques with more individual attention. If you want to know more about our Lions of Leadership Program, see us at the front desk.

Lions of Leadership Open Mat is Every Sunday at HQ and this Month on October 14th at Jungle Gym New Rochelle. These are great training sessions so do your best to be there.

TEENS PROGRAM
So I’ve been asked recently about how one can speed up their progress. The simple answer is show up.  The more time you’re spending on the mat, the more progress you’re going to see.   It’s simply through doing more repetitions of the techniques that they start to become second nature. So make sure that you guys are showing up to class throughout the week where we go over and drill techniques and show up to the Open Mats, where you guys will get some live rolling. So to sum it all up in the simplest way possible, Just train!

“Who’s the Weak Link”

One of the ladies asked this question during a particularly tough workout. She had noticed that one of the other ladies had changed the weight she was using and had forgotten to put it back, prompting her to ask the question. Now in this women’s defense her recent exposure to our rough and tumble MMA classes had left her a little jaded in her language,all the same as the coach it was my duty to remind here of the very same truth I’m about to pass on to you all.

There are no weak links.Every lady within the program is working as hard as she can towards that healthier lifestyle and compare her progress to someone else or ridicule there hard work is wrong. So always remember:
“Compete only on yourself AND never feel sorry for yourself”.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

THE JUNGLE JOURNAL – 9/18/17

STATE OF THE JUNGLE
Earlier this week Master Chim taught an excellent first class at New Rochelle’s brand new location. Right now they are at 714 north avenue. They are now right across the street from Iona College! It was another memorable event for the Jungle Gym tribe. Jungle Gym New Rochelle’s future looks brighter than ever.

Yesterday was an excellent promotion event. We had 4 new students complete the Instructor Certification Course. Shout out to Joel, Spyros, John, and Jensen for making it happen.  

We had 3 of our brothers and sisters from New Rochelle walk the gauntlet to earn their blue belts. Congratulations to Zach, Joal, and Kelly! Stay the path!  Ethan “Tyrion” Olavarria received his purple belt. This is good news for all of the purples and browns that were getting tossed around by a blue belt and eating overhands. Now they can get worked over by a purple belt lol!

KIDS PROGRAM
School is back in session, and so is the Jungle Gym’s After School program. Throughout the school year, we here at the Jungle Gym will be providing a safe and productive place for parents to have their kids spend their time in. In our After School program, kids will have homework time, where coaches will assist kids with their school work. A long with that kids will have a martial Arts class exclusive to the after school students. One of the biggest benefits of the after school program, is the accelerated development of their Jiu Jitsu techniques. This is due to the simple fact that they’re spending more time on the mat along with more one on one attention. For parents interested in the program let us know at the front the desk.

Lions of Leadership Open Mat is Every Sunday at HQ and Next Month on October 14th at Jungle Gym New Rochelle. These are great training sessions so do your best to be there.

TEENS PROGRAM
School is back in session! We here at the Jungle Gym don’t us the term ‘Good Luck’,  so I’d like to say make it happen to our teens students entering the next grade. A great thing about Martial Arts is that it transcends what we do here on the mats, this is something help you in all aspects of life. We fully expect our teens to tackle the school year with the same effort and determination that they show on the mats. I want to give a special shout out to two long time teens students Adam Rodriguez and Josh Richards on taking the next step in their academic careers with starting their first semesters in college. These two are no strangers two Pressure, being on the mats here at the Jungle Gym, so I have no doubt that they’ll be successful in any endeavor they take on.

“Work hard…Rest hard?”

Not to long ago I had the privilege of coaching a young lady through a one on one session. She was skilled so I chose to turn the intensity up as any good coach should. Now towards the end of one of her rest sessions during the work out I reassuringly told her “Your doing great! Let’s get back to work”. To which she replied “I worked hard,Coach. I should rest hard.”  I laughed..she wasn’t entirely wrong. There’s nothing better then a good rest after a hard workout. AFTER being the key word in that sentence, however.There’s no  “hard rest” while there’s work to be done,ladies we have to strive for that healthy lifestyle together!

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
This weeks student spotlight goes to all that participated in in New Rochelle’s inaugural class. Ritual and participation is a very important part of building the strong tribe that we have.

JUNGLE JOURNAL – 9/4/17

STATE OF THE JUNGLE
With the summer coming to a close I expect to see a lot of those old faces that were slacking hard to up their attendance again.  Its all good, I expect it every summer. Understand that the Jungle Gym is open all year round.  The standouts that train here all have ONE thing in common. They train with the same CONSISTENCY all year round.  Some people are self motivated.  Some need some sort of pressure in the form of a competition to keep the fire lit.  There are others that just live this life day in and day out.  Being the most POWERFUL version of yourself is the ultimate goal.  Keep this in mind when you are designing your training schedule.

Quick reminder: We have a team open mat from 10am-12pm today.  Make it happen after you read this!

KIDS PROGRAM
We are just about two weeks away from our next Promotions ceremony!  Promotions will be held on Monday September 18th.  This time around we have two students eligible for their next rank. We have Serenity Reynolds looking to move up to gray belt and Anthony Santana looking to move up to yellow belt. We’re super proud of both students, who’ve both taken the steps necessary to be eligible for their next rank. Both have been turning in their Lifeskill homework every month a long with displaying proficiency with their techniques. They both even competed in our past in house tournament, The PressureQuest.  Students who aren’t getting promoted to their next rank, will be eligible for their mat skill stripes, which we give out every promotion.  Feel free to ask your coaches if you have any questions on promotions, see you guys on the mat!

Lions of Leadership Open Mat is Every Sunday at HQ and This Month on September16th at Jungle Gym New Rochelle. These are great training sessions so do your best to be there.

TEENS PROGRAM
Promotions are just about two weeks away!  We have several of our teens students eligible for their next rank. Throughout the week you can demonstrate your required techniques to the coaches. If they’re moves that you need some help with feel free to ask your coaches or teammates for help. You guys will have until September 15th to complete your list so make it happen! See you guys on the mat!

Ladies! Today I want to ask you a question. Its a simple one but the answer is your own. Why do you need a coach? Most would say to teach the workouts, others would say to keep count of the reps, end i even expect a few to even reply they don’t see the value in one. To me the value of a Coach is that external source of pressure.That person who’ll push us when things get to easy and encourage us when things get hard. To me the value of a Coach could not be undersold keep that in mind the next time your coach tries to pressure you..

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Master Jules and Master Bill
I usually do not give a spot light to black belts because they do need the pat on the head.  I was motivated to do so, because I was running Summer camps this week and was able to see the morning sessions and catch Master Jules and Bill show up, when the younger bucks could not be bothered with getting better that morning.  They got some good training in that day.  This is a lifestyle for them.  Their competitive years are behind them, but they enjoy training because it keeps them sharp and it is a great lifestyle. We also discussed that it keeps us away from bad habits lol!
