Everyone, meet Patty. She was sitting behind me on a recent flight and when she saw me lock in The Sleeper Hold she went crazy (in the best way). I knew I would launch the travel pillow soon but here raw excitement gave me the kick I needed to do it now!

Here are three things you need to know:

1) The Sleeper Hold works REALLY good. If you’re a traveler, this thing will change your life forever. We’ve tested it for 5 years and get nothing but compliments from other passengers AND flight attendants.

2) The ONLY way to get your hands on one is to join the e-mail list at https://www.SleeperHold.com so we can notify you when we launch on Kickstarter in a few weeks. If we do not reach our crowdfunding goal this thing will NEVER be manufactured.

3) If you have over 10k followers and are down to help us spread the word by posting a funny short video that we provide, you can get yours for free. If you have under 10k followers, you can apply as well and if the video you post gets over 10k views, we’ll hook you up as well. Go to https://www.SleeperHold.com to enroll in the influencer program and download the Sleeper Hold video.

Florida teen viciously attacks his teacher because she took his Nintendo Switch. Sad part is that she chose this life of service and this is how she gets repaid. If anyone knows the woman, in this video please help us reach her.

I’ve had the opportunity to give Interactive Keynote Presentations at elite organizations all over the world and am very proud to add Procter & Gamble to that list.

One of my greatest joys is that of introducing new audiences to the power of Jiu-Jitsu, so when a Fortune 500 company calls and asks if I would be willing to teach 40 top Executives how to use the principles of jiu-jitsu to increase their efficiency and effectiveness as leaders, I jump on a plane (with my https://sleeperhold.com pillow) and make it happen!

Several months ago, Alma got attacked at a nearby metro station (but was able to survive based sheer tenacity and determination) and the responding officer called me from the hospital to ask if we would take her in as part of our Women Empowered family. We did.

It felt really good to be recognized by the LA County Sheriff’s Department in this way, but we were even more proud to be the first people they thought to ask for help after the attack.

Thanks for trusting us Alma. We’re so proud of you for taking your safety into your own hands.

AGREE OR DISAGREE? 📈 If every martial art was a publicly traded stock, there is no art that gives you a better return (combat effectiveness) on your investment (time spent training the art) than BJJ.

If you agree. Share this post. If you don’t agree, I can’t wait to share the mat with you. 🥋

The Gracie Bullyproof Summer Camp is offered once a year at Gracie University Headquarters and at select Certified Training Centers around the world!

Although the exact price and dates vary by locations, this 5-day camp will take place Monday through Friday from 9am to 12pm. Designed for children, ages 6 and up, this is our most popular camp of the year and typically sells out several months in advance.

Every child will get bullied at some point in their lives, and technology is only making matters worse since the bullying doesn’t end when they leave school. Our goal is to equip your child with verbal and physical self-defense skills as well as the confidence to set boundaries, so that if they are targeted, they can put an end to the harassment before it’s too late.

1. Unshakable Confidence with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Bullies target children who don’t stand up for themselves. By giving your child the non-violent Gracie Jiu-Jitsu techniques to neutralize a physical attack, they will have the confidence to take a stand against bullies before the harassment spirals out of control.

2. Verbal Self-defense Training
Verbal harassment is more common, and often times more damaging, than physical harassment. To ensure your child is ready to identify and overcome these inevitable attacks, we conduct a series of specific role-playing exercises each day of the camp.

3. Fun & Fitness for All Ages
Kids don’t like to exercise, but they love to have fun. Each morning we begin with the “animal warm-up,” and throughout the day we play several other games designed to give your child the exercise they need and the fun they want!

4. Character Development & Drug Defense
The connection we develop with the camp participants is strong, and we use this connection to instill the life lessons that every child needs. Each day we choose a different topic, from discipline and healthy living to drug defense and abduction prevention, so your child is ready for life beyond the playground.

Monterey Park Hero!

Brandon Tsay is a hero. Having never held a gun in his life, he engaged with the Monterey Park Shooter (who had just killed 11 people at a different dance studio) and was able to take control of the weapon and prevent even more senseless killing.

If anyone has contact with Brandon please let him know we would be honored to meet him AND we’d like to sponsor him with a lifetime membership here at @GracieUniversityHQ in Torrance.

The choice to intervene in an active shooter situation is very personal, but if you DO decide to take action, here are two techniques (pulled directly from the https://www.GracieUniversity.com online curriculum) you will want in your arsenal. And remember, the longer the gun, the more leverage you have when you get your hands on it (but only if you know what you’re doing).

Our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the lives lost in Monterey Park.
