Wednesday, June 22, 2011

Who say's that you have to compete, or you have to be a world champion, or be this belt , or that belt to teach BJJ. It was that way in the 90's, and into the new millenium...But it's 2011 and the cat is out of the bag folks....
You too can teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Kids..........you don't need to be a World Champion, you don't have to be a Black Belt in BJJ....you've just got to be a GOOD TEACHER!

If you are a SERIOUS Martial Arts School Owner who wants to have THE BEST and most WELL ROUNDED Kid's in your area....

Keep Reading you're gonna like what I have to say. I am going to give you a heads up though. I'm going to get up in your grill a little, all in fun of course, but hopefully in a way that will get you, your mindset and YOUR SCHOOL totally into the game as it relates to capitalizing on the UFC, Mixed Martial Arts, and BJJ, and how these factors can positively influence YOUR LIFE:

GREAT NEWS: The Teaching Model has changed.............and the Pricing is OUTSTANDING, but first....let me get in your face a little...LOL!

In your face question #1:

Why are you not currenlty teaching BJJ to Kids?

Well Larry:

I'm not a BJJ Black Belt,...yada, yada, yada.....

Ok you're not. Neither is 99.999% of the world!

Here's an analogy for you.

Who are two of the greatest collegiate football coaches in the history of football. If you go on the win-loss record....it's Joe Paterno at #1 and Bobby Bowden at #2.


Two incredibly talented and athletic guys right? WRONG.

Check their playing days. Not big time All-American Players. Average at Best. But what were they? GREAT TEACHERS and MOTIVATORS of YOUNG MEN!


And, oh yeah, there's another guy who was Head Coach at Notre Dame, who played ball in college. He was a 2nd string guard, at about 150 pounds.......He's now one of College Football's most popular announcers, Dr. Lou......Lou Holtz.


Okay, so you're not a black belt in BJJ! Who cares....you are a Black Belt in Your Style and You are A Black Belt Teacher of Children...........That's What Matters....



In your face question #2:

If you are NOT currently enjoyed the success of UFC and the popularity of MMA and BJJ..........WHY AREN'T YOU?

I know what you're thinking.

--I don't want the MMA, Tough guy fighters in my Academy. (Neither do I!)
--I've got families, I've got children in my school, my wife and kids even come here. (I do too!)
--Those cats look dangerous, and I've even got some nice stuff in my school that I don't want to be trashed! LOL....... (It won't be!)

Don't feel bad, that's what A LOT of people think...until they go behind the curtains and see, feel, and understand that BJJ is a GREAT ART. It's very technical, yet it's kind of got a 'bad rap' from a few bad apples.


You can be the guy who demonstrates what a great ART BJJ is, and grow your school and your revenues in the process. You are currently changing young lives for the better.


Give YOURSELF a break, and put some electricity back into your life and into YOUR school with BJJ. Let the UFC, MMA Craze work FOR you and not AGAINST YOU?



In your face question #3 is actually a series of questions, but I promised myself only three questions!!! lol:

--What is your WHY?
--Why are you even on this site?
--Why aren't you capitalizing on the MMA Craze with a superior and well recognized Ground Program for Kids?


Something is 'missing' from your school, you know it, and I know it.
I've worked with hundreds of people just like you. A bunch of them have 'bit' and have reaped GREAT rewards. Others have not. They call or email me every few months, maybe once a year. What they are waiting on...only they know.


Don't be one of those guys or girls? They wonder why their ship never comes in....while they are watching it leave the port!!! Don't be one of 'em.

Do you need a boost in your school?
Is there the need for more students, more money?
Is your future secure?
Or is that what's keeping you up at night?

NOW: The best news of all......THE PRICE is only $397 for the License to use all marks, materials, and curriculums.

And then for just $57 per month:

--You will be welcomed into the Kid-Jitsu "Inner Circle" of School Owners and Instructors
--You will have access to:
--Instructional Videos
--Instructor Manuals
--Instructors Forum
--Weekly Trouble Shooting Videos
--Monthly Teleseminar or Webinar
--Access to on-going Video Library
--Access to additional Coaching, Seminars, and best business practices (SEO, Blogging, Facebook, etc..)


I am only taking 100 schools for now. If you are one of the first 100, I will knock you price down to $297, and your monthly investment down to $47 per month......Call me NOW to get the ball rolling!!!! That's already a $220 savings for the year...If you do what you KNOW what you need to do.



A World Class BJJ program for Kids is just a phone call or email away.



Call me at 904-242-9343 or email me at professor@jaxbjj.com to receive your materials and "get going!" Theres a ton of good information on here, surf around a little, take some notes, and lets get you busy capitalizing on the popularity of the UFC and the MMA craze.....Ousss!

PS: It's the things that we don't do in our lives that can haunt us forever......

PPS: Nike says JUST DO IT.........let's go the extra mile and DO IT NOW!! You will be glad you did...I guarantee it!!

Monday, June 20, 2011

Another FB housekeeping issue: I don't care about the Q and A games, or any of the other games on here. I don't care what trophies or medallions or what ever else you have reached in these games. Please do not send this stuff my way. Anything positive, life enriching, inspirational or BJJ related is most appreciated. Thanks!!

life takes them next. The difference between the two is the

Local Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy Puts the Power in Kids’ Character!

Jacksonville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Kid-Jitsu® is proud to be launching the industry’s leading character development program, Powerful Words Character Development! Now a Personal Development Center, Jacksonville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kid-Jitsu® is incorporating this comprehensive character development program with their fun and exciting curriculum for children ages 4-14.

The program forms the backbone from which all of our students can study, grow, develop, learn and become an upstanding member of our community and a confident individual. “This full education process provides purpose to what we do as teachers—it gives our students something for which to strive, the strength to explore, and a foundation on which to succeed. We feel that by providing several facets to learning, both physical and mental, we can ultimately help our students to grow in a variety of positive ways,” says Dr. Robyn J.A. Silverman, creator of the Powerful Words Character Development System.

Using Powerful Words Character Development, which includes “The Powerful Word of the Month” projects and lessons within the context of a fun, organized JaxBJJ® & Kid-Jitsu® curriculum can invite students to listen, share, discover, and reflect—and of course, bring the lessons home to their family. Students and their families can use this positive approach to set, evaluate, prioritize, and achieve goals—building strength, respect, responsibility, and hope along the way. They learn the power of choice, the thrill of accomplishment, as well as the consequences and rewards of certain behaviors. “Ultimately, our aim is to help our students embrace the person that they are, respect those around them, and share their appreciation at home, in school, at JaxBJJ® and Kid-Jitsu®, and within their community while having a terrific time learning at our facility.”

JaxBJJ® & Kid-Jitsu® owner and Chief Instructor, Professor Larry Shealy invites the community to their grand re-opening party, demonstration, and grand-re-opening membership drive on April 30, 2011 from 10:00am to 2:00pm.

For more information on JaxBJJ® and Kid-Jitsu®, please call 904-242-9343, visit online at or www.jaxbjj.com or drop by the facility at 1475 Atlantic Blvd, Neptune Beach, FL. http://ping.fm/GY7bA #​#​#
