Martial Arts Classes Over A Generic Gym Routine Any Day

On January 4, 2014January 4, 2014 By Forged Bjj Krav MagaIn Uncategorized1 Comment

Martial Arts training is a significantly more effective fitness program than the generic gym routine. Who wants to sit on a treadmill for hours when you can get the same cardio workout from a martial arts class like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Thai Kickboxing, or Krav Maga? These self defense methods create a full mind and body workout. They also provide life long valuable skills you can share with your friends and family. It boosts your overall energy level, and as a result leaves you feeling confident and accomplished.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uses grappling techniques, choke holds, and joint locks to submit your attacker. To correctly pull off these moves you will find every muscle in your body working to its fullest capacity. Thai Kickboxing uses fists, elbows, knees, and feet as focal points for defending yourself. This art involves a lot of American Boxing and a lot of kicks to get that cardio started. Krav Maga is the most realistic and practical form of self defense to date. It derives from Israeli military tactics and will be sure to teach you to defend yourself in any threatening circumstance. From positioning your toes, to ducking your head, every inch of you is tested and trained for success.

Never tried Martial Arts before? Don’t worry, the classes are broken down by experience level so that every one can learn their respective skills at their own speed. The conditioning within the classes are highly effective regarding weight loss and personal fitness. You may walk in thinking you have learned it all about fitness, but no matter how much you already know, you will leave sweaty and intellectually satisfied. Every class you show up to, you are ultimately strengthening your body and your brain.

Within learning your new self defense skills, you will see a great difference in your self esteem and self confidence. Walking down the street may not be as scary if you have been training hard all week. All of the social activity in the Dojo may also lead to improved activity in your social life. You may find that you have that extra boost of confidence to ask that special someone out. After training hard, sweating, and working with your friends at the Dojo your feeling of accomplishment will shine far after you leave. The improvements in social life are so significant you not only look better but you truly feel better.

Do you spend hours at the gym just for mediocre results? Time to stop that same boring routine and start taking Martial Arts. The skills you learn in a Krav Maga class may save you or your friends from a street attack. The conditioning in Thai Kickboxing will make you sweat, and the self confidence will make you shine. The friends you make in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu may last forever. So what is stopping you? Step out of your comfort zone and into the Dojo. Do yourself a favor and try a class today!

BJJ Belt Blues/@DWMMA

On July 19, 2011 By Forged Bjj Krav MagaIn BJJ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, DWMMA, DWMMA - Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Fitness, MMALeave a comment

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an extremely technical martial art. The belt requirements for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tend to be a lot stricter than other forms of martial arts and takes more time to progress to the next belt. This can be frustrating to students because in such a fast-paced environment; people don’t have the patience to take the time needed to go from a white belt to a blue; blue belt to a purple and so on…and so on… Some students either quit prematurely, or they will stay but never feel as if they will ever achieve a black belt.

This is a reminder to not be discouraged if it is taking a lot longer than you want to get your next belt. You must continue to move forward in your studies. You should always aim to be the best White, Blue, Purple, Brown and Black belt that you can be. With time and patience; you will grow and evolve. To be a blue belt is very different than having a blue belt; however, its a sad thing when you see a blue belt get the “belt blues” and start slacking off or quit all together because it takes a great deal of time and commitment to reach purple belt status. It is a great loss when this happens.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn’t based on belts. It’s based on the art; belts are your reward for your dedication and are there to mark your progress in BJJ but they do not define you as a martial artist.

Self Defense: Knowledge is Key/ @DWMMA

On July 16, 2011 By Forged Bjj Krav MagaIn BJJ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, DWMMA - Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Fitness, Mixed Martial Arts, MMALeave a comment

In a “perfect world” the best way to defend yourself would be to avoid dangerous situations all together. Unfortunately, that will only work to a certain point. It’s almost impossible to avoid risk all together; since dangerous situations can develop with little to no warning and could be from the people whom you would least likely expect. I know the facts are scary: but they are true. Knowledge on how to protect you, and your loved ones, in virtually any situation is key to feeling safe-no matter where you go.

When looking for the correct program to learn self-defense; tradition martial arts won’t work as well as combative martial arts. At Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Salem MA, our Filipino Jiu-Jitsu program is our most practical and realistic form of self-defense. In Filipino Jiu-Jitsu, we teach a reality based self-defense curriculum, incorporating an extensive variety of strikes, low line kicks, joint locks, trapping, clinch fighting, take downs, grappling/ground fighting and weapons training; making it a realistic form of self-defense. A lot of the concepts are similar to those in Krav Maga, in regards to the realistic and street based form of street self-defense.

Filipino Jiu-Jitsu is well suited for men, and women of all ages, fitness and experience levels because physical strength and athletic abilities are not essential. Only the core techniques have been taken from these combative arts and organized into an easy to learn curriculum that can benefit the beginner as well as the advanced practitioner.

In addition to learning effective self-defense, Filipino Jiu-Jitsu also provides the student with the means to improve their physical fitness, awareness, flexibility and self-confidence. Combining the best of many styles into a blended system gives our students the advantage they need to protect themselves in virtually any situation.

Regular exercise is an important part of a healthy life-style. People who engage in physical activities, on top of a healthy diet, live longer and generally feel better than those who don’t. Exercising at least 30 minutes a day can reduce your chances of developing diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. The key is finding the right activity for you.

For those of you who have never taken a martial art, or have an opposed attitude to learning one; the idea of learning something like Thai Kickboxing, will surprise you on how beneficial it can be for your over all health.

In Thai Kickboxing, you get an overall body workout and conditioning. Unlike some forms of fitness training that neglect certain areas of the body or leave out cardio training, Thai Kickboxing covers it all.

Our Thai program, at Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Salem MA, is safe and fun, as well as physically and mentally challenging. It is a unique and extremely effective blend of Muay Thai Kickboxing, Western Boxing and American Kickboxing. Students will learn fundamental punches, kicks, knees and elbows. You will be trained like a professional kick boxer with techniques and conditioning drills to get you into the best shape of your life. Not to mention, the added bonus of learning self-defense.

Knowledge of self-defense is important for everybody. Men, women and children can all benefit from learning how to defend themselves; however, this article is based upon the importance of women learning self-defense.

In a world where women are unrightfully labeled as helpless and weak; we often become the target for acts of violence. Threatening situations such as: rapes, assaults, muggings etc. result with little to no warning. We need to find the most REALISTIC self-defense program as possible in order to fully be prepared for these situations.

One of the best ways to learn how to defend yourself is to take martial arts, specifically Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). MMA isn’t just for people who aspire to become a competitive MMA fighter like you see on UFC. It can be practiced for sport, fun and knowledge of a great, realistic, self-defense system. A lot of gyms gear their MMA program for fighters. At Dragon Within Mixed Martial Arts, Salem MA, their unique approach is for anybody looking to learn in a safe, and fun environment.

I know you are probably wondering if Mixed Martial Arts has a place in women’s self-defense training? The answer, in my opinion, is YES. Many women have turned to Mixed Martial Arts for self-defense training, while learning the arts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, Judo, Karate, and Wrestling to make it a well-rounded, but more importantly, realistic self-defense martial art.

Taking Mixed Martial Arts can be beneficial in many aspects of your life. It is a great way to stay fit, it will boost your confidence, it will give you the knowledge of how to defend yourself in virtually any situation-all the while having fun and learning something new.

Benefits of Martial Arts for Children

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training helps a child develop self-discipline, respect and humility.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu, a martial art discipline that uses grappling and ground-fighting techniques similar to judo and jiu-jitsu. It can teach kids to be stronger, more confident and less prone to bullying. Many children face the problem of being bullied and are vulnerable to various anti-social elements. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can help a child tackle this problem. The fundamentals of Brazilian jiu-jitsu focus on how a smaller, weaker person can defend against a larger opponent through the use of leverage and flexibility. It equips the child with the knowledge and skills to intelligently cope with bullying and the skills to protect himself.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be a good way to stay fit. These days, children have an easy access to internet games and TV which can lead to a sedentary life-style. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Martial Arts can be an interesting way for the child to stay in shape. Both physically and mentally.

Here at Dragon Within Mixed Martial Art, Salem MA, kids enjoy learning a practical and healthy martial art that is truly effective. Our martial arts curriculum will give your child confidence, discipline and real self-defense skills.
