Memorial Day is an important family/national holiday as we remember those loved ones and military service men/women who have given their lives for our freedom we so liberally enjoy today.

We continue to show our appreciation by honoring the dead and living, yet over the decades Memorial day has become an expression of our freedom as well.

 Bullying Bullying occurs when a person is not fulfilled by their own lives or are upset about themselves. There is a tendency to turn that aggression and anger on other people they see as socially or physically weaker than themselves. Through bullying, these people are attempting to hide their own insecurities and find fulfillment in unjustly establishing that dominance.
Your children can avoid bullying by gaining and showing confidence in their day to day routine. By having confidence they make themselves less of a target of bullying. Bullying can also be avoided by not allowing the bullying to affect their attitudes. If a person prone to bullying finds that the bullying is not having an effect then they will find a different target.
Having a good peer group can also help prevent bullying. When your children have a good group of friends at their back verbal bullying has no affect because the friend are able to help prove that that the bully’s words and insults are not true and that it does not matter what is said. Solid peer groups also prevent physical bullying because bullying does not work when the bully is out numbered.
The “target” of bullying is not the only one to suffer from the act of bullying. Bullies are also harming themselves by destroying relationships with those around them and by developing and maintaining the bullying attitude. When someone regularly bullies others they ignore the issues that are causing pain and aggression and failing to right those problems, thus perpetuating the problems.
The kids jiu jitsu classes at the Seaside Jiu Jitsu Academy teaches kids how respect themselves as well as others. We teach techniques that build children’s confidence and bolster their ability to defend themselves from bullies. Contact us today and try our 30 DAY FREE TRIAL so we can start teaching your kids how to avoid bullying today!
 Motivation Do you lack motivation? You’re sitting there, in your brand new yoga pants, sleek new work out shoes, and di-fit t-shirt – completely prepared for perils of the gym, yet you can seem to put one foot in front of the other and get your super styling self off of the couch. You bought your membership to the gym about 2 weeks ago and have made slow progress towards actually stepping a foot inside of the gym. Now you have no more excuses and couldn’t be more prepared yet you still can’t seem to make yourself move. Unfortunately this lack of motivation is incredibly common. Yet, good news: you are not alone and we may even have found a solution for your low levels of motivation.
Motivation is your personal desire, drive, and stamina to do or accomplish something. When motivation is low, most things seem relatively impossible and you have an on going feeling of defeat. Often these feelings can overwhelm a person and be psychologically disturbing. This disturbance of the psyche often inhibits a person from having any drive and often individuals experience feelings of depression. Motivation at this seems impossible.
So you may ask, how do I increase my level of drive or motivation? How do I find the desire to get myself into a gym and improve my physical and mental state? Well here at the Seaside Jiu Jitsu Academy we know how difficult it may be to join an new gym and motivate yourself into working out alone each day. So we have come up with just the right formula for a perfect program made to motivate you!
Our UltraFit Women’s Bootcamp is made to motivate YOU! The program incorporates a variety of women of all ages, the work outs are designed for you and you are encouraged/coached on by a personal instructor. No longer do you have to show up to a gym alone and make yourself work for countless minutes on that elliptical. Motivation will come so much easier as you are surrounded by like minded women who have the same goals of living a healthier more fulfilled lifestyle. Come try out our 30 day Free Trial and see for yourself how great our program really is! A lack of motivation will no longer be your struggle!
 Role Model Role models are incredibly important for kids in this day and age. Especially in a small community like Seaside, Oregon where the extra-curricular activities and role models are in short supply. When boredom sets in and children turn to their own forms of entertainment it can be very easy for a child to get caught up with the wrong crowd and become involved with drugs, alcohol and other forms of criminal mischief.
Kids will always look up to the older people around them and emulate their actions and lifestyles. If the right role models play a predominant role in the kid’s life then when faced with potentially harmful situations they stand a much better chance of making the good decisions on their own. Or even better, the role models helps them establish the right settings and peer groups avoiding these circumstances all together.
You may ask, where can we find healthy role models in our little community? The most obvious answers for finding role models are school, church, and family. These are good options but not all kids enjoy school, church and youth groups typically take place once a week, and not all families are as solid as we would like. Our children deserve to have committed, dependable role models and if you are looking for role models that WILL make a difference in your children’s lives then you should look into the Seaside Jiu Jitsu Academy and inquire about the 30 DAY FREE TRIAL for Kid’s Programs. Here you will find world class instructors and a gym full of the best role models in the Seaside, Oregon area.
Remember, with the right role models in your children’s lives you too can live a happier, healthier life without the burden of wondering whether or not your kids are spending their time with the right people.
 Confidence Confidence can be a hard quality to come by for many kids in the Seaside, Oregon area. Many times children in our area lack confidence due to a broken home, being bullied at school or lack of a positive role model. Lack of confidence and self esteem can lead to major problems as a child reaches adolescence.
Confidence building should start at an early age to give a child every opportunity to be successful in life. The way a child views himself will effect his progress in school, social activities, the friends they choose and the personality they develop. So where do parents turn when they feel their child is lacking confidence in their attitude and body language? There are some great opportunities to start confidence building NOW! These include, school sports and clubs as well as youth groups.
Confidence can be found in many activities but one quite often overlooked is the martial arts. Martial arts and confidence go hand in hand. This is often preached by the students coach or instructor. Some of the top benefits reported by students parents include building self-esteem, improved grades, socialization skills, confidence building, becoming a team player as well as a leader. A students coach in the martial arts is a special and unique relationship, unlike seasonal school sports in the martial arts the students coach will work with your child year round. They may even have the opportunity to take private lessons and receive further benefits!
Is your child lacking confidence? If so I recommend you go visit the Seaside Jiu Jitsu Academy. They will even prove to you how they will improve your child’s quality of life with their 30 DAYS FREE option. Don’t take my word for it, go check out a class and ask other parents what improvements they are seeing in their children. Every child deserves to have the utmost confidence and I believe training in the martial arts will make your child more confident then ever!

 Tsunami Fear? TSUNAMI. A word we seem to fear here on the coast, or in reality on any coast. We have come to realize recently that although the term seems to be a mythical daunting disaster lurking in the far distance it is a little closer to home and a potential reality than we want to acknowledge. Tsunamis have become a reoccurring headline and top story in breaking news more frequently in the past few months and have caused a lot of panic and stress. Yet, as most of us coasties have learned we can be prepared in many ways for a Tsunami if it decides to grace us with its presence.
It is obviously important to keep yourself up to date on current events and Tsunami warnings. Awareness is the first line of defense. Being prepared by familiarizing yourself with the evacuation routes is an obvious advantage to quickly get out of danger zones. Also, having a 72 hour bag packed with food, water, and warm clothes is quite wise. Preparation will be the key when a Tsunami hits.
Yet what do you do when that Tsunami hits and plans fail, bridges collapse, emergency plans are not executable? No, No, No, don’t you dare say give up! When there’s a will, there’s a way! When all routes fail we run on that natural fight or flight instinct and here at the Seaside Jiu Jitsu Academy there’s no such thing as flight. We face our challenger, no matter what it may be with a fighters mentality. So NO Tsunami- you arn’t going to win this round!
Now you may think we are a bit cocky or pompous for thinking we can outdo a Tsunami. Well, confidence is key when a natural disaster is staring you in the face. Our Women’s UltraFit Bootcamp gives women on the coast the skills they need if disaster or stress befall upon them. They are ready to over come those challenges and do what it takes no matter the situation. Being UltraFit not only refers to the body’s physique but incorporates mental strength as well. We refuse to let anything break us down, no Tsunami or havoc will prevail against us! Curious to be apart of this determined mindset and lifestyle? Inquire about our 30 Day Free Trial and we’ll get you rollin in the best program you’ve ever experienced!
 Athletes
Attention Athletes! Now don’t be intimidated when you hear the term athlete…none of us started out as muscled out hulk machines when we entered the gym. Athletes arn’t just born with chizzled abs and bulging biceps. All of us athletes begin somewhere, and that somewhere is usually that awkward spot deciphering the difference between a dumbbell and a barbell. We get overwhelmed figuring out the reps and sets and wonder how long it will take to get this routine down. Yes, all of us athletes have been there!
All athletes have the odds against them at the beginning. 60 percent of new gym members drop out within the first year or six months. It takes serious dedication and drive to be persistent and sick out the initial months on the path of becoming athletes.
Here at the Seaside Jiu Jitsu Academy we understand the struggles in becoming an athlete and we meet you where you are at! Our Women’s UltraFit Bootcamp provides you with the environment you need for success. We provide you with a personal instructor who develops work outs for you and coaches you along in the process of becoming the athlete you were destined to become. Come ask about our 30 day Trial, we grow foster an amazing environment for true athletes!
