Albany MMA

This past Friday January 22 we had the first youth Black Belt test of 2010. Angelo Sbardella was promoted to First Degree Black Belt, he is a great representation of Team Empire.

I am so proud of of Angelo. He has completed a rigorous training regime encompassing all ranges of self defense. He was tested on Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu jitsu, reactive self defense and mixed martial arts.

Our Black Belt Champions and Leadership training has helped Angelo develop greater self-control and self-discipline in everything he does. Angelo demonstrated how our training instills confidence through positive coaching, lot’s of encouragement and a powerful mentoring relationship with role model leaders.

Angelo is now one of three role youth models for the other children in the Black Belt Champions program to follow. He has earned the honor and distinction to be addressed as Mr. Sbardella.

It was just an awesome day and words can’t convey how proud I was of Angelo. It was a another great day in Empire Martial Arts history.

I look forward to helping all of you achieve the same results.

Ancient Secrets of the Martial Arts Revealed…

I’d like you to join me in battle.

You see, even in today’s “civilized” society…there is still an enemy pursuing you.

But it’s not like the old days, when the bear would come down from the mountain and try to eat you.

Even though “civilization” has driven away the “actual” bear…today’s “bear” is just as ferocious…just as hungry…and a lot trickier.

Let me explain.  Have you ever found yourself asking:

“I’m successful…why don’t I have the peace of mind –  the satisfaction — I thought I would have at this point in my life?”

“Have I become ‘soft’ — the victim of a sedentary ‘couch potato’ lifestyle?”

“Have I lost the edge, the fire, the passion I had a few years back?”

Here’s the problem:  The same civilization that protected us from “the bear” has also created a different type of  “bear”…just as hungry, and a lot trickier. It’s called STRESS…and you may have seen its ugly “tracks” near your home:

For example, have you experienced:

a lack of energy…a sense of fatigue that prevents you from doing the things you enjoy?

boredom — a feeling that life has lost its excitement?

frustration…a lack of patience…a feeling that time is slipping through your hands?

And, most dangerously…a gut feeling that somehow you have lost control?

I am writing to you — as one professional to another — with an important message:

It doesn’t have to be that way.  The Stress-Free, Confident Lifestyle is yours for the taking! And it’s a lot easier than you think.

Imagine the confidence and the peace of mind you would have if you knew:

the principles of stress reduction…your “key” to inner peace!

the “secret” to smashing self-imposed barriers

the self-defense skills necessary to protect yourself and your family
