Well 2009 is almost over and with that we had a great year. We are about to embark on our most eager challenges. We have the Razorback Jiu-Jitsu/Gracie Garage beginning this Friday January 1st 2010. We have 17 who have verbally committed to this class.
I am sorry to say that over the past four months we have lost 9 students who either quit, or stopped coming to class on a regular basis. I used to call them and ask them why they were not there or encourage them to keep coming. I stopped doing that the past couple of months and 2010 will never see me do that again. If people give up or quit or have something better to do with their time, or can't find 3 hours a week for Jiu-Jitsu then God bless them. I will continue to give my best to those students who want to be in class.
Starting in 2010 if a student is not paid up as a member and misses classes and drops in, there will be a $10.00 drop in rate, it's not fair to the students who are paying dues or me as an instructor. Either !@#$ or get off the pot.
I am excited about the new year, let's do all we can to learn from each other and grow as people and Martial Artist and Jiu-Jitsu practitioners.
Peace, and let's keep rollin'............
