    "The Magic of Solitude"
    By: Brian Tracy

    The greatest men and women of all ages have practiced solitude regularly. They learned how to use silence to still their minds and tap into their superconscious powers for answers to their questions.

    Your feelings, your emotions, are the access point to your inner powers of mind. The most important part in the process of getting in touch with your feelings is to begin to practice solitude on a regular basis. Solitude is the most powerful activity in which you can engage. Men and women who practice it correctly and on a regular basis never fail to be amazed at the difference it makes in their lives.

    Learn how you can apply this wonderful technique immediately to improve the quality of your inner and outer life.

    Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Kids a good or bad thing?


    by Professor Larry Shealy

    A lot has been said about this subject, and it is obviously open for debate. Should kids in the 4- to 12-year-old range train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)? Are they ready for the rigors of BJJ? Is BJJ for Kids too 'dangerous?' How do you teach kids such a technical sport? Do they understand BJJ? Can kids train in a safe and effective manner?

    THANKSGIVING the Gracie Way

    The Gracie family is world-renowned for their fighting skills. For nearly a century, Gracie family members have stood ready to accept a challenge from anyone, at anytime, and anywhere to uphold their daunting reputation in hand to hand combat. To ensure that all family members were in peak physical condition at all times, Grand Master Carlos Gracie studied foods and their effects on the human body for over 65 years. His efforts resulted in The Gracie Diet-a comprehensive dietary regimen based on food combinations that provides optimum health, boundless energy, and increased longevity.

    As interest in the Gracie Diet continues to grow, there are always questions from students regarding the combination guidelines of the diet. Like the best way to combine the foods, that are normally available during a Thanksgiving meal.

    • Turkey
    • Potatoes (Includes: Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, and Yams)
    • Cranberry Sauce
    • Bread (Includes: Stuffing, Rolls, and Biscuits)
    • Ham
    • Green Beans
    • Pumpkin Pie
    • Apple Pie
    • Deviled Eggs
    • Cornbread
    Warning: If you were to consume all the foods listed above, you would violate several Gracie Diet combination principles. To facilitate digestion, we recommend you adhere to the following guidelines:

    · Turkey, Green Beans, Peas, Carrots, & Salad: Foods that are okay to eat with each other plus ONE of the following;

    · Potatoes, Bread, Rice: You must choose only ONE of these to eat with ALL of the above foods.

    · Ham, Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie, Deviled Eggs, & Cornbread: Do not eat any of these.

    Note #1: If you are hungry have seconds. Do not eat dessert, drink water only.

    Note #2: If you follow these guidelines, take notice on Friday morning of how you feel.

    Note #3: Eat to Live. Don't Live to Eat.

    Note #4: If you run into foods that are not on the list above and you are not sure if it combines or not, be safe, don't eat it.

    Note #5: If you have trouble trying to digest all the rules of the Gracie Diet ---visit the Gracie Store and get your own copy of The Gracie Diet Book.
