New Years Resolution

12/21/2015

How many look forward to January 1st? Time to make those important changes in your life? I am going to lose 10 pounds! I'm going to get in better shape! I'm going to eat clean and cut out junk food! I'm going to stop drinking/smoking! I'm going to improve my social life! I'm going to be happier!

These are all great goals to start the year. The problem is come January 15th you haven't lost even two pounds, the shape is still round, you are tired of chicken and broccoli and dying for an Oreo. The frustrations build which leads to poor weekend decisions that leads to a night at the bar followed by a weekend of being unproductive and lazy. It is a viscous cycle I have witnessed many times.

2016 is going to be different! Instead of thinking up a list of resolutions we suggest investing in a tool that improves all areas of your life. Come get your start in Jiu Jitsu; lose weight, get in shape, eat clean, stop partying, and improve your social life! These are all just results of Jiu Jitsu.

We are offering a 10 pack of classes for Christmas for only $50! If you haven't purchased your presents yet avoid the malls and outlet stores, De Boa is your final stop! These are great presents for your family and friends and the best choice you will make next year for yourself.

We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

This past Tuesday night, Professor Andrew tied on De Boa's 1st "Home Grown" colored belts, Mason & Janessa!

De Boa Jiu Jitsu opened it's doors (actually we rolled up our garage door) just over a year ago. We started with a group of about 12, most are still with us. Some were transplants from other schools, some were brand new. Janessa and Mason were 2 of our brand new students, we called our crew "The Garage Warriors" as we trained for about 7 months in the garage while waiting on the build out of the academy.

Janessa and Mason have trained consistently from day one, they've pushed themselves and helped others grow as well.
We are excited to see what the future holds for these two "Garage Warriors"
Congratulations Mason and Janessa, De Boa's newest Grey/White Belts!

It is hard to believe 2015 is almost over, time passes fast. Have you finished all your resolutions from last year? Do you have one of those resolutions that just seems to pop up year after year? If you are anything like my friends then that dreaded resolution has something to do with going to the gym, getting in shape, and maybe even losing a couple pounds.
Do you know what the busiest month for fitness chains is? If you guessed January you are right. Everyone makes these fitness resolutions, very few meet there goals. Let's examine a few reasons why these goals are so hard to meet.

Lack of motivation, time, energy, excitement to go to the gym.
Not seeing the results
No one to help you achieve your goals

This year if you live in the west valley (Surprise, Goodyear, Avondale, El Mirage, Glendale, Peoria), I say try something new. Start working towards all those fitness goals and get in the best shape of your life. This plan is going to work this year and you can finally kick that old nasty resolution is because at De Boa Jiu Jitsu Academy we take a different approach to fitness.

You will be so focused and learning that you won't even be thinking about the fact that you are "working out." The classes will you leave you excited to learn more. The excitement brings energy and motivation, our instructors will be their to kick you in the butt if you need additional motivation. This year let's conquer all those old resolutions and set new goals at De Boa Academy.
