MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Adam Bridle
Our member of the month for December is Adam Bridle! Adam has been one of Professor Peter’s brightest shining stars in 2018. Adam made the switch over to the New Era team in April of 2018. He is constantly in the gym improving his skill set and it shows on the competition mats. Adam has been winning gold medals in his division since the change to New Eraand Peter is excited for what the future holds. Not only is he a fierce & skilled competitor, but Adam is the definition of a team player. He helps new students regularly and even takes it upon himself to help photograph & videotape all of our BJJ competitions (even while injured)! Adam has also brought in friends to share with them his passion and they have stuck to it like glue! Great work Adam, and we couldn’t be happier to have you on our team!

TIP OF THE MONTH:
“The best way to do something, is to DO IT.”
– KRU JEFF
“Look at Jiu-Jitsu like a game or puzzle. It requires strategy. Getting stronger won’t change your jiu-jitsu if there is no technique to begin with. Use strength & conditioning to compliment your technique.”
— PROFESSOR PETER
