The US Nationals
==============

In the United States we will hold our National Championships on the 11th and 12th of April. This is a truly exciting time because:

1. It’s an opportunity for many competitors to have their chance at being a National Champion
2. It is the LAST ditch effort for those that are trying to qualify for the Olympic Trials. The top 8 individuals in each weight class will qualify for the Trials.

===============
The Olympic Trials
===============

If you’ve never attended the Olympics and its just too expensive of a trip or you just don’t think that you can make it, please, please, please, find a way to make the Olympic Trials.

I really don’t care what sport you choose, just go. There is absolutely nothing like being in an atmosphere where the competitors have invested a great deal of their lives pursuing a goal or an objective. The intensity in the air is so thick that you can cut it with a knife.

===============
Our Celebration
===============

In order to celebrate and commemorate this joyous occasion, 4-Time Olympian and 1999 World Champion Jimmy Pedro is re-releasing his DVD Grip Like A World Champion. Jimmy Pedro and Rhadi Ferguson want to make sure that every coach, every athlete and everyone who is competiting or helping someone prepare to compete at the Olympic Trials has the best grip fighting knowledge available.

After some printing, packaging, pricing and duplication issues, Grip Like A World Champion is back and better than ever.

Many of you who were the first to get a hold of Grip Like A World Champion have experienced an incredible amount of development and growth in your grip fighting game.

 [youtube]Fl5l-YELUls[/youtube]

And those of you who have not been able to access this package have been scrambling and asking when Grip Like A World Champion will be back, well, I’m here to let you know that you will no longer have to be kept in the dark.

Grip Like A World Champion will be here in April. On April 7th as a matter of fact.

BUT, here’s the great news.

It will be on sale from April 7th to April 14 in celebration of the Olympic Trials Selection process.

On April 13th all of the competitors in the United States who have been made the Olympic Trials will be announced. At this time we want to make sure that every coach, every athlete and everyone who is competiting or helping someone prepare to compete at the Olympic Trials has the best grip fighting knowledge available.

So we stepped up our game. We created a brand new edition of Grip Like A World Champion.

==============
Here are some of the
changes
===============

1. The Grip Like A World Champion package now includes the DVD Grip Like A World Champion and a brand new CD titled “The Power of Gripping”
2. The Grip Like A World Champion Companion Guide is now optional (you can buy it if you’d like. You can choose to acquire it or not).  Many of you said that you would like this option so we’re here to please
3. The DVD packaging on Grip Like A World Champion has totally changed. We redesigned a new look to go along with the momentous occasion.

As a 4-Time Olympian, Jimmy Pedro understands the anxiety that goes along with preparing for the Olympic Trials and the Olympic and he also knows as I do that the more prepared you are the less anxiety you feel.

So we’re just trying to do our part to make sure that every judo player, coach and parent out there has the opportunity to learn how to Grip Like A World Champion.

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

When I was at the New York Athletic Club a few weeks ago the Wall Street Journal Online asked me for an interview.

They saw me and a couple of other coaches floating around the floor and they decided to ask for an interview.

This video clip is kinda cool.

It features some of your favorite judo players.

P.S. Big announcement coming soon for all those interested in grappling and judo. Be afraid, be very afraid 

================
Okay, here’s a dumb
joke that I heard
yesterday
================

Question: “Do Leprechauns make love?”

Answer: “Of course they do. They’re always getting LUCKY!”

Okay, it’s not funny, not at all, but it was so dumb that I had to laugh.

Because just as in Leprechauns making love, or people getting in shape, or winning tournaments – luck is about setting yourself up to be a winner.

If you want to become lucky, the key is to set yourself up by putting yourself into position to be lucky.

==================
How To Set Yourself Up
To Have Good Luck
==================

Right now I’m listening to a great Audio Book called “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle. Now, I’m not a huge fan of his but I feel that you can learn from various sources.

One of the key things that Eckhart talks about about focusing on the Now and not worrying about what happened before or what will happen afterward because when you get right down to it, we can’t control the past or the future, we can only control the NOW.

Focusing on the NOW will allow us to be LUCKY later.

The one thing that stop us from being able to focus on the NOW are the Chump Moments that creep into our life that stop us from creating the daily victories that will lead us towards success.

I remember the wise proverb which goes:

Q: “How do you eat and elephant?”
A: “One bite at a time”

In life the way that you achieve huge victories is win the small daily ones.

If you allow the Chump Moments to creep into your life, you will not be able to focus on winning NOW.

You can only win later if you choose to win today.

And you can’t win, if you don’t know EXACTLY how to play “the game.”

================
Here’s How To Play
================

- If you want to learn how to play the “fitness game” of life and you’re tired of losing, then go here and start winning –> http://www.rhadi.com/sales/stpatrickday_72hour_sale.html

- If you want to learn how to play the “grappling game” and you’re tired of not getting the victories that you know you should have, then go here and start winning
–> http://www.rhadi.com/sales/stpatrickday_72hour_sale.html

- If you want to FOCUS ON THE POWER OF NOW, the stop hesitating, stop allowing the Chump Moments to creep into your life and get on the path to winning today

Take care and have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Focus on becoming better NOW!

Okay, Okay, Okay
=================

I’ve had enough! I’ve been training with Thiago Alves for his fight against Karo Parisyan and right now, I’ve had enough. My legs are hurting from getting kicked, I’m sore and this is NO fun.

Today I was doing the ground and pound class and I was getting punched in the face, my lips are all cut up and my damn jaw hurts.

Let me say this very clearly – I DO NOT WANT ANY PART OF THIS.

I like training in it a little bit, but the getting hit thing for me has long been over. My college football days are over.

On another note. Thiago is looking very sharp and I think Karo’s in trouble.
Hell, I know he’s in trouble.

===================
Here’s a Testimonial
From one of my customers
That I’d like to share
With you
===================

Hello Rhadi,

Wanted to give you a quick update. You’re workouts you suggested to me have built my personal training client base to over 20 clients at a facility I started at on December 18. From 0 to 22 in under 3 months. I have at least 7 more people coming in this week via referrals to sign up. One of the 4 owners is a doctor who did his residency at Howard University. I told him about you. He looked you up online. I told him how you influenced my career in a big way.

Your workouts also got me to a level where last Saturday, I was able to take:

• 1st place NAGA Advanced 200-224 Heavyweight division (heelhook 22-year old 218lb kid in under 30 seconds)
• 1st place in Masters Purple Belt gi
• 3rd place in Absolute pro
• beat first opponent 2-0 in 8 long minutes. He was 20 years old and weighed 290lbs -beat second opponent by heelhook in 25 seconds. He was 20 years old and weighed 270lbs -lost 8-0 to Brazilian top team black belt who won whole division, but was only guy he didn’t tap out

Your expert advice has made me a much better living as a trainer and has enabled me at age 39 to still fight younger fighters and do pretty well.

I thank you for all of your help and wisdom, all my best,

~Anthony Argyros

========
WOW!!
========

This is why I do what it is that I do for a living. I get the opportunity to reach people and teach people all over the world. It is one of the best feelings ever.

I certainly hope to see Anthony in Abu Dhabi one day. Whether its in the full lineup or for an exhibition match, I think he’s ready.

=============
Don’t Forget
=============

- One, don’t forget the Olympic Trials in many of your favorite sports are coming up very soon. If you don’t have the money to make it to Beijing, the Olympic Trials are the next best thing. Whatever you do – GO TO AN OLYMPIC TRIALS in your lifetime. You’ll love the energy in that place.

…..I kinda liked it.

============
In The Ring..
============

I’ve grappled in the cage on many-a-occasion, but this time I actually put on the gloves and banged and you know what…… I’m pretty damn good if I do say so myself. But I have NO aspirations to do mixed martial arts.

I was in the ring because I was helping Thiago Alves prepare for his UFC fight on the 2nd of April against Karo Parisyan.

============
The Whirlwind
============

Since this past weekend my life has been a whirlwind.

I was in New York this weekend coaching and helping Taraje Williams-Murray. Taraje was the highest American finish at the New York Open. He placed 2nd and he also got promoted this weekend by me to purple belt in BJJ. He looked very sharp and he fought well at the tournament.

Today I’m in Washington, DC doing a talk on nutrition and proper nutritional practices for high school children.

Tomorrow I’m back in Boca Raton and I’m helping a former NFL Player lose 50 pounds and get back in shape.

But I can tell you this. I’d rather be busy than not $$$

===============
Yesterday was one
of the saddest days
of my life…….
==============

I took my son to his first day of pre-school yesterday and when I was getting ready to leave, I said, “Okay, give daddy a kiss goodbye.” And my little man, kissed me and hugged my neck so tight, I had to peel him off.

I damn near cried. As I walked out the door and saw the headmaster of the school, I said, “Hell, that was a little harder than I thought it was going to be.” I laughed as I walked to my car, but I think I was laughing to stop myself from crying. But my son needs the social skills and he’s ready. He can communicate pretty well. His sign language is top notch thanks to my wife.

I just thought I’d share that tidbit of my life with the parents out there who can understand what that feels like.

=============
What’s Next?
=============

• Well right now I’m working on some sweet stuff for Judo. I have a new product coming out in April.
• Also the re-emergence of Jimmy Pedro’s Grip Like A World Champion will be here in April.
• I’m still trying to get everybody on board in terms of understanding that living a healthy lifestyles not an option.
• –> http://www.TheBodyWeightWorkout.com
• –> http://www.TheTotalBodyWorkout

• At the end of this month, my mother will do her first 1/2 Marathon in Atlanta, Georgia along with my aunt and my dad will do his second and my wife will do her 3rd. I’m super excited that the family is on board. Its so tough to coach and teach people all over the world about living healthy and then having your family not be willing to do the same thing that you are teaching to others who are getting phenomenal results.

I guess that’s about it.

Oh, one more thing. The National Judo Championships are in April on the 12.

And my birthday, Traci’s birthday (my wife) and my son’s birthday as well as my father’s birthday are all in April and we are having a MASSIVE celebration and I’m going to make sure that I share the celebration with you.
