Start the new year off right – compete! The Ground Warrior Submission Challenge, sponsored by the Oregon National Guard, is a stand-alone event that follows Sub League’s classic rules and round robin format. Matches are won by submissions, not points. And round robin means you get to compete against everyone in your pool (no one is eliminated after losing a match).

This year, we are taking the Ground Warrior to the Salem Armory Auditorium. This is an excellent venue that spectators will love. Please join us for this fun event… it’s the perfect way to kick off a year of great Jiu Jitsu!

Reasons You Should Start Your New Year’s Resolutions Now!

4  Reasons You Should Start Your New Year’s Resolutions Now! 

The New Year is a glorious time when we have the chance to reflect on the past 12 months and look forward to the endless possibilities and potential in the next 12.

We strive for greatness with an unprecedented outlook on the mystery of the unknown that is the next year of our lives.

According to Statistic Brain, 45 percent of people make New Year’s resolutions, with the promise of ‘‘enjoying life to the fullest’’ being one of the highest ranked.

It’s a time of year that can be filled with hope, positivity and a feeling of purpose. The actual idea of a brand new year is what feels so refreshing; you get a clean slate to do whatever you want.

As much as it is a beautiful notion, it is also a procrastinator’s ideal defense: ‘‘Oh, I’ll start it in the New Year.’’ But, why wait to get started on a new goal?
The date has no significance; you don’t have to wait for the first of January to start living the way you want to live right now.

In fact, starting now will ultimately benefit you — here are four reasons why:

+ A New Beginning Has No Start Date

The countdown to a new beginning starts every day you wake up, not every first day of the New Year. If it feels right to start now, start now. Don’t wait for tomorrow, next week or January 1 to begin what you already know you want to achieve.
If there is something going on in your life that you do not like and want to change, there is no better time than the present. It might be easier to put these changes off, and fear or doubt may discourage you, but easy doesn’t always mean right.

+ What’s The Difference?

What is the difference between starting on a Thursday in November and starting on a Thursday in January? A date won’t define your success, but postponing things to a later date will only set you back a couple of months.

The pressure of giving yourself a deadline has its perks, but preparing yourself before the deadline has even bigger perks.

+ There May Never Be A Right Time

You may never feel like you are entirely ready to start your next move and it is always easier to make an excuse, but waiting is just limiting yourself. Why make changes tomorrow that you can make today?

If you don’t feel ready now, what makes you believe you will feel ready on January 1? Sometimes we have to take those leaps of faith and believe we are capable of doing whatever we put our minds to.

+ Staying A Step Ahead Of The Game

By starting now, you will be one step ahead of yourself. Where you thought you would be in January, you could be in by November. By starting now, you are able to plan and think about how you are going to go about tackling your decision.

You give yourself the time to digest your thoughts and understand them more. By keeping a step ahead, you can go into the New Year with a strong perspective and assurance of what you need to do next in order to achieve whatever it is you set out to achieve.

There are 365 days to start anew or make a change — use them all.

Melissa Bentley

From White Until Now….

By Melissa Bentley

I started training in 2010 because I wanted to be a part of “something”. I wanted to do something that challenged me, help me get into shape and be more active. I’ve been involved in sports for most of my life but mainly team sports and I would usually not put a lot of effort into them and never really pushed hard but rather was a very average athlete. I was ok with being average but dreamed of being great, so it didn’t make sense that I would not try harder. I realize now that I never was pushed to do my best and never learned to push myself.

Melissa Bentley:
-is 32 years old
-a mother of 2
-and she  is a five time Miami Open Champion.

Melissa’s Titles in 2013:

State Champion,
Miami Open Champion,
Pan AM Champion,
Abu Dhabi Trial Champion,
World Champion

THE ART OF BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
In order to get a better understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu we need to examine what distinguishes BJJ from other martial arts. Often referred to as the “ground game” the main focus of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is what happens after a match or altercation is taken to the ground. The techniques of BJJ focus on the principles of leverage, balance, and timing allowing someone of smaller stature or limited athletic ability to defend them self against a larger and stronger opponent. The art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is comprised of many sweeps, reversals, chokes, arm locks, and leg locks.
