Good morning world!

I’ve been up since 4:20am this morning. Getting ready for the 5am training session with the team from the Bahamas. We had a good one. The first of 4 for the day.

We will train again at 10am and then again at 3:30, but the 3:30 session will be a film session and then again in the evening at 7pm.

Things are going well. The kids just have so much to learn….Heck, we all do. But they are doing great.

==============
The Biggest Thing
==============

The biggest thing that I am noticing is this….. some of these kids have a great life.

I mean great.

There personal struggles haven’t been great. Nor should they. As a parent, you want to make sure that your children have things better than you did. It’s not your desire for things to be super difficult for them, thus as a good parent, you also KNOW that they NEED to experience some difficult and trying situations for the development of a well-rounded individual. Thus, you provide them with a sharpening stone….. a Dr. Ferguson or a sport such as Judo, Football, Wrestling, Hockey, Swimming, etc.

Through these experiences a certain level of, not toughness, but RESPECT is developed for the PROCESS OF EXCELLENCE, not excellence itself.

Excellence is a process. It is a tenet, a principle, a way of life. The process of being excellent and being an exemplar is really what we are teaching in the Bahamas. Judo is at the forefront, only in name. What we are teaching are life skills. Medals are won and lost. And quite honestly, there is a great deal of chance that goes into winning. But the one thing that WE cannot chance, is the development of character and quality citizenship. That is not an option. That must get done.

These children will be someone’s wife, husband, father, mother, aunt, uncle, caretaker and overseer one day and we must make sure that the experiences that they receive in this process can and will help them in the their future existence as well and their long, intermediate and short term athletic pursuits.

This the biggest thing and quite honestly the MOST important thing I do as a coach. Coaching for me happens on 2 levels. Within the sport and without the sport.

Simply put, you need to know how to govern yourself and win, WITHIN the sport and you need to know how to do the same in life, WITHOUT the sport.

================
What we’ve been
doing….
=================

We’ve been doing some base level conditioning work, but the bulk of our time is spent on technique, technical development and the understanding of the anatomy of a judo match and creating a strategic framework for action (gameplan).

We have been spending a lot of time on gripping, grip fighting, grip tactics and gripping strategy and really covering the importance of proper hand invocation and hand placement There have been many “aha” moments while watching video. Especially when the kids go back and watch “Underground Grip Fighting Secrets” for a third and fourth time. They start saying things like, “That’s what Flavio Canto was doing” or “yeah! That what the guy from Japan was doing in the match in Sydney.” They are picking up information fast and making an attempt to implement it. It takes time, but we are getting there……….one radori (sparring) session at a time.

=============
Introduction
=============

I remember when I was growing up and watching Batman….. yes… I like Batman.

And I’ll tell you why.

Sometimes the stuff Superman did was just too…..well…. too “SUPER”.

It was unbelievable, not real. But my man Batman, well, Batman was a regular dude that really used his brain and his tricks

and know-how to beat the bad guys.

I liked that.

So, as I was saying… I remember when I was growing up and watching Batman and I’d see him pull some weapons out of his tool

belt or push a button on his “Batmobile” car and make some type of secret weapon come out.

I used to really dig that because it really showed me that sometimes you have to have a “secret” weapon in your arsenal, but

hidden from plain view.

Well, that’s what many martial artists have.

My first BJJ coach, friend and mentor of sorts, Lloyd Irvin posted a video the other day where he shared one of the secrets

to his teams successes in Brazilian Jiujitsu Competitions.

You’ll be surprised by what you hear……

Listen up!

They are pissed!

The judo community is upset with me because I’m exposing the secret of
how the good beat the average.

Some people try to discredit the existence of “specialized knowledge” in judo.

Some people think they”know this stuff already”.

Some people think the gripping and gripfighting is jusr “negative judo”

And some people just, honestly, don’t know what in heck to think, but
they don’t like it just because its trying to be “sold” to them.

Here’s the real deal.

You can practice judo ALL of your life and if nobody EVER explains the
game of judo to you like Jimmy Pedro and I do in Underground
Gripfighting Secrets, the the truth of the matter is this…. You HAVE
little to no hope of becoming great.

Nobody, and I mean Nobody, EVER takes the time to explain, teach,
dissect, breakdown and illustrate the game of grippong like this.
Nobody.

If you want your judo game to “tip” you must learn how to GRIP!

Introduction
==============

Often times the solution to a problem lies outside of the problem itself. Thus the expression, “thinking outside the box.”

When we were presented with problems in our youth, more often than not, the answer was within the problem or in plain view. Case in point, if were asked a question in science class, the answer was usually in the text somewhere.

As we got older, the answers were not as readily available and the solutions required skills which were categorized as “Critical Thinking “Skills.”

As we matured some of us became “critical thinkers”, others “abstract thinkers”, others out of the box thinkers were/are categorized as “rebels”, “renegades” and “crazy.”

The truth of the matter is this…. perspective is everything and until you can look at a “problem” differently than you do currently, you may never find the solution.

=================
Let’s Use BP For
An Example
=================

The company British Petroleum, also known as “BP” has a problem. There’s an issue which they don’t have an answer for.

And the “thinkers” who are in position and are having a problem coming up with a solution.

Why?

Is there no solution?

Of course there is. The problem is this…. THE RIGHT THINKER has yet to present himself (herself).

See, some people are ill-equipped to make radical changes and to make a huge impact on the lives of others.

================
Case In Point
================

Just recently, a good friend of mine, Lloyd Irvin became the first and only American to win a team category at the Brazilian Jiujitsu World Championships.

He has, arguably, the best childrens program in the World when is comes to Brazilian Jiujitsu and is a pioneer in the sport.

He took the old way of doing Brazilian Jiujitsu AND DID NOT ACCEPT IT!!!

HE QUESTIONED IT!!!!

From day one HE NEVER accepted the myth that getting a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu takes 8-10 years.  That isn’t written down anywhere, it’s not law, and he never subscribed to it.

He questioned the status quo.

He question it, destroyed it and then TRIED to share it.

While trying to share it, people talked S–T!!!!

Why?

Because that’s what people do.

He went on to Win the World Championships….. with his methods.

He went on to develop some of the best BJJ products…. with his methods.

He trained Olympians, World and National Champions…. with his methods…

and guess what?

He developed the best Juvenile Brazilian Jiujitsu Team in the World in 2010… with his methods.

How?

Why?

=============
A problem DOES
NOT equal an OPPORTUNITY
=============

In some conversational circles people want to say, “There’s no such thing as a problem. Problem are only opportunities.”

No!

A PROBLEM is a PROBLEM.

An OPPORTUNITY is an OPPORTUNITY.

A problem needs to be solved and reconciled.

An opportunity can be passed up or taken advantage of.

Now, if your SOLUTION becomes an Opportunity, then so be it.

Which  provides the logical statement.

All Problems have a solution. Solutions can be opportunities. But all problems do not equal opportunities.

Why is this important.

Well, it’s important because your definition of a thing and how you mentally reconcile it, is a huge determining factor of your success.

If you are caught in an armbar…. THAT, my friend is a problem. If you get out. Great. If you get out and can capitalize excellent, but first you need to address the problem.

As I said or hinted to before….. the answer to a problem may, indeed exists outside of the problem.

And more often it does.

=================
How Did I Fix My Judo
Problem?
=================

Well, first I identified it as a “Problem”. Then as any engineering major would do…. I classified and identified the “Givens” in the Problem. And  then I made some intelligent assumptions.

After doing that I analyzed the current data available. Some similar solutions and how they were figured out and then I started brainstorming.  Just coming up with some radical, off-the-wall stuf. No idea or option was right or wrong. I just had to get it out. Write it down.

Then I began to observe. I went to different places, different schools and STUDIED DIFFERENT ARTS. Not just martial arts, but arts. Ballet, wrestling, tap dancing, FENCING, chi-na, sambo, Judo, Kurash, Sumo, football, weight lifting, etc.,

I located a couple of “central themes” and a located a “golden thread” that wove the arts together.

Oh yeah, one more thing…. I READ A LOT OF BRUCE LEE’S STUFF.  A LOT OF IT.

Then I actually understood, that the answers to my judo problems actually existed OUTSIDE of judo.

You can practice judo until you are “blue in the face”. That’s NOT going to make you a better judo player.

What will make you better is defining what you are and what you are trying to accomplish.

NOW!!!!!

If you want to be A GOOD JUDO COMPETITOR….. welll

there’s one way to make your Judo game tip for sure!

=================
How To Tip
=================

In 2000, author Malcolm Gladwell penned a text entitled “Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make A Big Difference”

He explained how things can begin to ‘tip’ and spin out of control and grow exponentially. Well, that’s what my judo game did once I learned how to grip fight. And all of the things that go along with it, like the understanding of pace, tempo, etc.,.

When I learned how to grip, my Judo game tipped, without the addition of any extra “judo”.

Gripping is a skill that is actually separate from, but also included in judo. Once I figured this out, I  became a better player and once I studied it my coaching skill increased exponentially.

Then not only did I learn it, but I learned how to teach and now teach it better than most persons on the planet.

And that’s not an arrogant statement…. that’s just the confidence that I’ve developed from hours and hours of study and instruction.

And I WANT YOU TO KNOW, GET AND HAVE WHAT I HAVE.

And I want you to do it right away.

I want you to take radical and aggressive action in figuring out your judo problems.

And I’m going to keep creating products so that you can keep finding and accessing solutions. The ones that I’ve already solved and the ones you will solve on your own.

=================
The Return Of……….
=================

I’m pleased to inform you that on the 10th of June, the best selling and most powerful gripfighting product to ever hit the market will return once again.

The product that has helped people win World Championships in Brazilian Jiujitsu, become Olympians and win National Championships.

The product that holds the gripping secrets of a 4-Time Olympian, World Judo Champion and 2-Time Olympic Medalist…. Underground Gripfighting Secrets will return!

Your JUDO GAME will TIP!

Your Gi Grappling game WILL TIP!

Your knowledge and expertise WILL TIP!!!

Introduction
================

My life is all about traveling.

Traveling to practice or traveling out of town. I just miss being at home with my family at times. I’m blessed that the majority of my work is from home, but leaving still hurts. It’s rough, looking the lil’ guy Rufus in the face and telling him that “daddy has to go out of town.”
He then asks, “Daddy can I go with you?” and I have to tell him, “not this time but when Daddy gets back we’ll go to Universal Studios!”

Sometimes it stops him from crying and sometimes it doesn’t.

At any rate, it is painful 

So this week……

=================
UFC Expo
=================

This week I will be at the UFC Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada sharing a booth with Lia Hatashita from Hatashita Sports. I am not selling anything, but doing give-a-aways the whole weekend. It’s cool stuff.

I’m looking forward to the weekend.

I also think that I have to corner a fighter in the Tuff-N-Nuf event on the 28th so it should be one heckuva a weekend.

The main event of the weekend is the UFC 114 show where Rashad Evans will compete against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

This fight has been brewing for some time and here is my prediction for that fight and why.

MY PREDICTION IS RASHAD EVANS!

WHY?  Takedowns. Period. Quinton Jackson will not be able to stop the takedown. Rashad will play it safe and get his title shot.

========================
Are You Still Committed?
========================

A few days ago I provided you with some outstanding resources for personal improvement.

Introduction
=============

I was having a conversation with somebody yesterday and they said, “soon it’ll be June.” And a light bulb went off in my head and I repeated what they said…

SOON IT WILL BE JUNE!

I know you are asking yourself, “What in the world does that mean?”

Well, Imma tell you.

This is what it means.

It means that SUMMER TIME is here and you have messed around and allowed the following to happen:

1. You allowed New Years Eve to kick you in the butt
2. You allowed Valentine’s Day and eating out for kick you in the neck
3. You allowed St. Patty’s Day to kick you in the face
4. You allowed Easter to stomp on your back
5. And….. YOU ALLOWED Cinco de Mayo to rabbit punch you in the gut.

And what does all of that mean.

That means your DOGGONE New Years Eve Resolution to get in shape went out the window.

And I ain’t gonna even mention all of the birthday parties and meetings and special events that you went to where you felt entitled to have a “little sip of this or a small bite of that.”

Now, you ARE IN TROUBLE!!

You have to be “bikini ready” and now you are under the gun.

FRET NOT GRASSHOPPER. I’m here to help you. Here’s How!

=================
First Let Me Be
Up Front With You
I’m Going To Need
A Dollar. A Dollar
Is All I Need
$1
==================

I’m going to personally, and of course professionally, hand you the tools that you are going to need in order to get your midsection tightened up and to get yourself back under control.

Here’s what I want you to do first…..

First, go find a mirror and strip down in front of the mirror buck naked.

That’s right “BUCKET NAKED”. And look at yourself REALLLLLL GOOD.

Be thankful that you have what you have and be thankful that you are able to stand there and do something about your current condition. Because there are some that cannot stand today because they chose not to make the decision you are getting ready to make.

Now say to yourself: (Your Name), we are committed to remove the areas which are unhealthy today and committed to begin a healthy lifestyle forever. (Your Name), I love you and I’m going to start treating you better.

==================
Okay, after you finish
that… Here’s what’s
next…
==================

Put your damn clothes on. LOL

===================
Okay, then do this
===================

I’m still laughing. Hold on.

LOL.

But I’m so VERY serious about doing this exercise. It is NECESSARY!!!!!

THEN WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS FIND A $1.00 bill and hold it in your
hand.

That is your COMMITMENT dollar.

Put it somewhere. Don’t spend it on coffee, or snacks or put it in the machine.

Hold on to it.

And I will tell you what to do with that later.

===================
All I Need Is $1.00
===================

If you can’t commit a $1.00

I’m not sure I can help you.

======================
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION
======================

I am going to contact you again in a couple of hours about what to do with that “Commitment Dollar” but right now I want to show you what I’m going to ask you to do.

So I’m going to GIVE you plenty of phree resources that you can use to get in shape (all PHREE!!!):

1. http://www.TheBodyWeightWorkout.com

2. http://www.livejudo.com/?page_id=350 (Squats From A to Z)

3. Easy To Follow d.i.e.t chart

**********************
Introduction
**********************

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned through sport, life and my religious and spritual growth, its this: “Favor Aint Fair!”

I remember my dad telling me about favor and how he always asked God for “favor.”. I remember seeing people that, in my immature and ignorant mind, didn’t deserve to have what they have and my father told me, “Boy, that’s not your place. You do what you are supposed to do and the Lord will bless you accordingly.”

I remember asking myself, “According to what?!?” And then having a one-sided conversation with myself saying, “Hell, I can work hard and bad stuff happens and someone over here can do nothing and good stuff happens. Its not fair!!!!”

But…. As my personal and spiritual growth increased, I understood that favor is not something that the unbeliever can understand and its difficult for the immature believer to get a hold of.  Many can’t grasp God’s favor.

I was recently having a conversation with a colleague of mine who consistently wants to refer to me as a “great athlete” and not acknowledge me as a superb strength and conditioning coach. He recently told me, “Yeah, you’ll have the money and the cars, but I’ll get the lifetime achievement award.”.

——————————
Smiling While Crying
——————————

I smiled why crying for him on the inside. Sadly, he believes that you have to have one or the other. And secondly, he doesn’t know that I already have that, he just can’t *see* it. (Oh, I’m getting ready to shout!)

I wasn’t the best judo player in the country in 2004, Michael Barnes was. As a matter of fact, he qualified the 100kg weight class for rthe olympics, not me. If I were not for him, I would not have been able to go to Athens. I can sit here and admit that up front and openly. Did I work harder than him? I’d like to think so, but I wasn’t with him when he was practicing, so I don’t know. I do know this. His technical background was much more superior than mine, but I won the trials and went to the Olympics.  Had I been living in Japan, I probably wouldn’t have even been considered as a member on the National Team.

Why am I telling you this?

Well, I want you to know that being blessed is something that your detractors cannot do anything about.

——————————
The Truth About
Kimbo Slice
——————————

Case in point. My colleague said that he’s big into “earning it” (which is another discussion because “earning it” isn’t as meritous as some of you meritocracy believers may want to believe). He said, his only gripe was that Kimbo didn’t “earn” is elevated status. Well, hell, neither did George Bush! Or Obama for that matter. As my mother would say, ” some things you are SELECTED for and some situations you are ELECTED for.”. You cannot “earn” and ELECTION, you are given such a status…..ergo… Favor.

I can clearly remember telling Kevin Ferguson, the man you all know as Kimbo Slice, that he IS blessed.  So many of MMA fans think that Kimbo’s time is running out. NO IT IS NOT!!

Win or lose, the hotel lobby is packed after his fights because people want to meet him. The UFC didn’t cut him, they just decided not to renew his contract. My guess is that, if it makes financial sense, he’ll be back.

Kevin Ferguson is blessed and he has been given an opportunity to do something with that blessing and he KNOWS clearly what he is supposed to do but he only has a given period of time to do it. See, whether Kimbo wins or loses, does not and will not mean anything. We all don’t watch Kimbo because he’s a great MMA Fighter. We watch because we can’t help ourselves. We are intrigued because of his magnetic personality. He has been spiritually “donned” as the man of the hour (for this appointed time). He has favor on his life. You, me, nor Dana White can stop that. That’s a fact. He’s on Gods time.

Now getting back to what I was saying.
