Jillian Micheals ‘Karate Saved My Life!”
Jillian Michaels may talk tough with the people who appear on her shows, The Biggest Loser and Losing it with Jillian , but perhaps that’s because Michaels, 36, once went through similar struggles with weight. The trainer — featured in the new issue of Redbook– bares her belly on the cover and some of her childhood secrets in a revealing interview.
In the new interview, she also admits that she struggled with weight at a young age. She says that by the age of 12, she weighed upwards of 175 lbs. “Oh, my God, it was pure hell,” she recalls. “I spent all of eighth grade in my classroom because God forbid I ever left. I was terrorized. And karate saved my life. It all stopped the day I broke two boards with a kick.”
Weight problems weren’t the only thing that plagued the reality TV trainer/life coach, as she admits she also suffered from night terrors (“I was a really disturbed kid,” she says). Now, as an adult, Michaels admits she wishes that her contestants and viewers were a little less scared of her, and claims that the biggest misconception about her is “that I’m a mean. I really don’t have a mean bone in my body!”

The Recipe for Confidence
Confidence or lack of effects everything in our life, our social network, friends, family, school work are all effected by our level of confidence.
Bullies and for adults criminals unanimously target people whom lack confidence which is demonstrated by poor posture, eye focus and weakness in speech.
A recent poll was done by victims of bullying and the researchers came to the conclusion all of the victims had poor eye contact when speaking. This is almost always followed by bad posture and weak speech patterns.
So our recipe for confidence is demonstrating our inner strength through our eyes (Shi Sun) voice (Ki Hap) and posture (Ja she).
Adopting this practice in EVERYTHING you do be it martial arts techniques, shaking hands, or walking in a parking lot will dramatically decrease your chances of attracting bullies and criminals.
Not only that it will INCREASE the positive way people view and feel about you.
Simple ways to put the Confidence recipe into practice:
- Look people in the eye when you talk to them or are listening to them.
- Practice keeping a straight posture throughout your day (sitting and standing)
- Speak confidently, don’t talk to fast or too slow. In class respond to questions with a loud clear voice (‘Yes Sir/Mam’) this will strengthen your vocal cords so they don’t tighten when you become nervous.
- Volunteer – practice getting out of your comfort zone. Put yourself on the line more often, it will become second nature and dramatically increase your confidence.
Follow these simple yet powerful steps and your confidence will be felt by everyone you meet.
Moo Sa!

SITE UPDATES
We’ve added a monthly crossword and sliding picture puzzle. This can be found in the WS games and puzzles link on the right side of this page. –>
NEW FAMILY CLASSES
Many parents have approached me about participating in class with their children. I thought it was a great idea being a parent myself I would love to do an activity with my children. Unfortunately there are many that I could think of Soccer, I sat on the sides cheering them on, I video tapped the Dance recitals, for the most part there aren’t too many activities we can do with our kids. I recently went to my daughter Ashley’s school and did a presentation on China for her class. I got such a kick out of the kids being so excited that an adult other than their teacher was in the room they made me feel like a celebrity. Kids love when their parents get involved.
To celebrate Mothers and Fathers day’s we are changing the format of the children’s classes to family classes. That means mom or dad (or both) can participate in their child’s class regardless of rank. To help get you started we will give you ONE MONTH FREE AND A FREE UNIFORM! That’s right you heard me a month and a free uniform. This will last only to the end of this month so take advantage of it now. And we promise you that we will support you and encourage your child to see you as the Hero you are. I asked the children who their hero’s are and of course we heard superman, spiderman, batman. I told them my Hero was my mom. I saw lot’s of little brains clicking. This is a great opportunity to set an example for your child, bond with them in a unique way I promise you they will appreciate it.
