There are a couple of days left in July! Let's make the most of them. 

In this message:
1. Wrestling Camp 
2. Buddy Week 
3. Attitude

2. Buddy Week 
This week is BUDDY WEEK! Bring in your friends and teach them your favorite submission! You will get a ticket to the movies with every buddy you bring in during the week! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Attitude 
Here is a little on ATTITUDE by Jim Rohn:
 People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily surrender that control.
 No one else "makes us angry." We make ourselves angry when we surrender control of our attitude. What someone else may have done is irrelevant. We choose, not they. They merely put our attitude to the test. If we select to a volatile attitude by becoming hostile, angry, jealous, or suspicious, then we are unworthy, then again, we have failed the test.
  If we care at all about ourselves, then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings. We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the capacity to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's all about Attitude! --

Dear Members of El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, 

July is coming to an end and we are heading into August. This is a great time of the year to look back at what you have accomplished since the celebrations in January. Give yourself a pat on the back if you have done been checking things off the list, or get focused and stay persistent if you have started to slack off. If you would like more help just ask and we can take the time to create a game plan together.

Hello Members of El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, 

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July. Not much excitement in Trego, Montana but it was worth getting to bed early for the 5:45 a.m. wake up! 

In this message, 
1. Don't EVER Give Up
2. Kids Night Out 
3. Saturday Class

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Don't EVER Give Up
Here is a picture we shared with the wrestlers during one of our talks. Take a good look. Notice their body language. Notice how far the frog is down the birds throat. Notice how far they are from the lake. Much can be inferred from this picture. How can this picture be applied to your training and your life? I will share with you my thoughts next week! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. Kids Night Out 
Friday, July 15th is Kids Night Out Nerf Wars! Please sign up at the front desk if you are coming! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Saturday Class

Hello Members of El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, 

Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you are all having a safe celebration full of fun! Today will be my 6th day of wrestling camp in Montana. We started the day off at 6 am with an 8 mile run followed by breakfast, a technique session, and we will be starting our RED FLAG PRACTICE here shortly. (Some of you may know a little about that!!) Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and taking the time to heal their bodies for some intense training when they get back!!
