Word of the Month is Competition: 
In general, a contest or rivalry between two or more for territory, a niche, for scarce resources, goods, for mates, for prestige, recognition, for awards, for group or social status, or for leadership and profit. It arises whenever at least two parties strive for a goal which cannot be shared, where one's gain is the other's loss.
Student of the Month

Our student of the month is
Savannah Meade. Brian made this decision about a week ago. He usually tells me a little bit more about each child's personality and what "drives" them but this month was a bit different!  

 
He said "Savannah is a good kid. Someone that is kind and pushes through adversity. She is such a good kid. Savannah needs to be recognized for so much....especially being a good kid". This may not seem like much to you but when your head coach says "I want to make Savannah the Student of the Month for being a GOOD KID" IS HUGE!!!!! Thank you for being an awesome role model Savannah!

Proactive Mindset at Fusion MMA: Friday, Nov. 30th $25

This seminar focuses on our reaction to danger, and how we can maximize our decision process. Establishing baselines, recognizing intuitive messages of danger, deselection and avoidance, pre-need planning and decision making. Developing a comprehensive plan of action, including a focus on strategies, tactics, techniques, and their differences. I will cover the concepts of fear management, visualization, and modeling to improve our response when faced with a threat. We will discuss understanding the "law of self defense" and honing in on pre-assault cues. Each class will have "MINDSET" and "hands on" drills that will make you think like a predator, a victim and even the law! This class is very unique and might not be what you might think a self defense class would offer since there is NO physical content involved . The primary focus is on the practitioner's response to danger.

In the PROACTIVE MINDSET
class (NOT PHYSICAL) we will be covering the nature of predators and violence, and how to deal with your response to violent encounters.
This  well rounded class will focus on CURRENT EVENTS and PROACTIVE MINDSET for both men and women. We will discuss CRITICAL THINKING  and DESELECTION, making DEFENSIVE decisions in advance and listening to your instincts. We will discuss THINKING AHEAD, understanding the "law of self defense" and honing in on pre-assault cues.

Each class will have "MINDSET" and "hands on" drills that will make you think like a predator, a victim and even the law!
