New Month, New Students, New Beginnings...

Hey Gang,

August was a great month for BDJJ and the next few will be just as good. I would like to welcome our new students, Crystal Rhyne, Melanie Bailey and Kia Keele. Crystal and Melanie have also joined Razorback Jiu-Jitsu our Gracie Garage and Black Dragon SanShou Jiu-Jitsu. Several returning students have come back to the fold and I would only encourage them to continue their journey. Every time you stop training it is a personal set back. Congratulations to "Iron" Will Potts for competing in the Nixa Tournament and winning 3rd in his Gi Match. And Congratulations to Josh Valentin on becoming a Police Officer. After years of wanting to get into Law Enforcment he has been sworn in as a Deputy with the Boone County Sheriff's Department. I know that he will be a great assett to their Department.

I know this is a busy time of year for everyone and lots of training has been missed by some of our students. I don't sweat it as much as I used to. Our kids are doing sports, school and other activities and I know they will get back to training more than once a week when these sports end. Parents we are busy as well and when you return great. We have completed the Green Belt video curriculum and the Brown Belt. They should both be on the website to view in the next couple of weeks.

Keep training and working hard.........Peace, and let's keep rollin'...........
