Holy cow do we have a lot going on! Here is the line up for the day you need to be at Elite Defense Systems (and yes, we’ll be at both the Bloomingdale Martial Arts school and the Rockford Self-Defense Academy for all of these events!).

9-10am: Youth review class… if your child needs a little help or extra work, this is the class! All ages and levels report!

10-11am: Adult review class… once again, all levels should report! Why not review the last 3 weeks in one quick hour!?

11am-1pm: Double stick seminar for adults. Need I say more? If you know how to stick fight with one stick… great! How about two!

1-2pm: CATT session, closed door.

5-7pm: Parent’s Night Out! Drop the kids off with their friends and spend sometime with a loved one. We’ll provide pizza, games, self-defense and fun!

Yep, class tonight at our Bloomingdale and Rockford Martial Arts Academies, even given the holiday.

Tomorrow will be the video blog’s 2nd official broadcast. Did you do your homework? Check past postings…

Lee, Love and Life,

Sifu Matt

I usually will not blog on Fridays… but I wanted to make sure you did your homework, as I outlined on the video blog on Tuesday. What!? You didn’t see the video blog?! Ok… I’ll let it go for now

Just make sure you tune into this blog on Tuesday morning at 8am.

Here is the homework:

Men: Write down your top 2-3 goals for the next 90-120 days. Plus, make sure you can take out 10-15 mins each day to do a mini workout. I’ll explain more about this on Tuesday!

Women: Write down 2-3 situations you could be in where you could be attacked. How would it happen? Where?

Parents: Realize there are 3 types of bullying… I’ll review them on Tuesday. We’ll dive deep into one on the live video blog!

Lee, Love and Life,

Sifu

ps: We have a huge day planned at both our Rockford martial arts academy and Bloomingdale self-defense school! Save January 29th in your calendars!

The video blog was a success. If you missed, set a reminder next Tuesday at the exact same times. Here is what we covered:

Men 10-10:10
As men, we are wired to achieve and accomplish goals. So whatever your goal is, I want to use this blog to help you. As of now, you need two things to help you reach any goal you have – inside or outside the martial arts:
1. Clarification of exactly what you want.
2. Daily time to focus or work on that goal.

Women 10:15-25am
Women are huge targets for attacks. If you want to protect yourself, you must realize “how” you would get attacked. Going through this exercise is not nice, but it will help you build the awareness you need. The next thing you need to know is that there are 3 levels of your body: Low line, Mid line, and High line. We’ll use this blog to teach you how to use each of these areas.

Parents/Youth 10:30-40am
Life is scarier when you have kids. Before having them, you worry about yourself… now you worry about them too! We’ll tackle the 3 types of bullying through this video blog: Physical, Verbal and Cyber. Cyberbullying has become a huge problem, and I’ll teach you how to combat it.

Talk to you tomorrow about more, and “see” you next Tuesday for the next video blog!

Very excited about the new video blog starting next week on Tuesday. Please mark your calendars and set an alarm. If you haven’t signed up for a Ustream account yet, please do so.

They are very protective against spam, and it will allow you to communicate with me live, and get tons of extras those naughty non-registrants won’t get!

Lots of news coming your way through email and mail. I’m investing in this because I really want you to get and be connected with EDS. Whether you’re an adult student at our Rockford Self-Defense School, Youth at our Bloomingdale Martial Arts location, long time parent who has several kids in our Bloomingdale school or a member of law enforcement at our Rockford location… I thank you!

2011 will be amazing!
