From: From the Desk of Paul M. Greenhill, Grappling Authority, Camp Springs, Maryland, USA

Dear Fellow Grappler,

Let me ask you a question. If I could show you how:

• To expose and eliminate the mental fears and insecurities that you have about grappling training and show you that it’s possible to remove them from your life forever
• To overcome your biggest training fears with the same proven system I used to drive away my personal training demons; transforming me from a scared and easily intimidated older grappler (OG) to a confident and very technical BJJ Black Belt and grappling champion
• An older, less talented grappler survived and improved in a grappling training pit where he was viewed as the human grappling dummy by malicious and extremely aggressive young punks; where they routinely abused, bullied, and, on occasions, intentionally injured him
• Apply a training tool guaranteed to show immediate results in your grappling experience after a few training sessions and put you closer to achieving your goals

Of course, you would be interested! The fact that you’re reading this letter proves that you’re a smart grappler who wants to take advantage of every training opportunity to improve your grappling skills. And to improve your training, you want to add training tools and techniques that will build your mat mental toughness, show you how to survived the stress of hard training with younger, overly aggressive partners, and improve your mat confidence so that one day, you will be able to...

give that young punk the ass-kicking that he so desperately deserves!

But I understand that you’re skeptical because you’ve tried so many grappling training products in the past that made bold promises and turned out to be crap (so have I) and you don't know who or what to believe anymore. So, it would only be natural for you to think that I’m pulling your leg, right? If I were reading this letter, I would probably think this is too good to be true, too!

But it’s not too good to be true…it’s all real because it worked for me. I’d like to say that I was the most gifted, the smartest, the toughest, or the grappler with the most heart in the training room at Team Lloyd Irvin…but that would be a lie! If anything, I was the EXACT opposite because I wasn’t the most gifted, smartest, toughest, and was probably...

the biggest “wuss” we had on the team!

On the outside, it was easy for me to pretend to be tough grappler, but on the inside I was a scared punk! Because of the high-caliber teammates around me and the training I endured (which could break you both physically and mentally), I felt like a minnow inside a shark tank and prepared to give up on grappling completely as a purple belt with 6 years of grappling under my belt.

But one day, all that changed for me. I just looked at the man that I was and realized how far away I was from the man I wanted to be. And if I didn’t do something to change my mindset, I could die this way. And that’s what I did…I changed my mindset. It wasn’t easy…but it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be either. It just took patience, perseverance, persistence and commitment to a system on my part to become the grappler (and man) I always wanted to be…and I did it! It worked for me…

And it can work for you too!

And it has worked for dozens of people just like you that have been directly coached by me on our team. However, I don't expect you to believe me until you see even more proof.

"There's no telling what I can accomplish, but I'm about to find out!" "After reading (and re-reading) "Five Mental Traps that Hinder OG Training", I am now going forward in my training with a whole new mindset! "The Training Triangle" is only complete with all the parts, and it's true that mental training is the most overlooked part.  I didn't realize that one of the reasons my training wasn't progressing was because I was going to class, going over techniques, doing my cardio routine and such, but not really spending time on the mental aspect of the game. I was so convinced that I'd get my hat handed to me whenever I rolled, that that's exactly what happened!  I almost made it happen with my poor attitude! Retraining your mind to think in a new way is not an easy task, but "Five Mental Traps..." guides you in how to change your thinking patterns, and in turn, change your mat-attitude and eventually your training outcomes. Paul, you not only pointed out the "Traps", but gave detailed explanations (along with clear examples) of how to fix it! You explained how to take a situation (such as getting winded) that you might view as a downfall, and how to step past it and keep on going without letting it trip you up. Thank you so much for your continued wisdom and all your help! I've progressed in so many ways in my grappling training. There's no telling what I can accomplish, but I'm about to find out!" -- Paige "Scrappy" Beidleman, Medical Professional

"I'm noticing much more, Paul, how your training program is affecting so much more than just my Mat time. The effect on me personally is beginning to be noticed by me...that's scary!" "Last night, after I finished up with my gym time, I came home and read your "Five Mental Traps" as well as 90% of the "Old Dog". I can tell you Paul, you have a wonderful way with bringing things down to the most simple of levels. The areas you discuss are so basic and common sense that it's probably the reason we all tend to overlook them. I started my day thinking about how I was going to pre-frame my work day to ensure I could realize my 1% improvement goal for the day. So far, although busy, it's been really good. I will be applying your techniques to both my Mat time as well as my personal life and find that my attitude will provide the biggest control mechanism I have at my disposal. I'm noticing much more, Paul, how your training program is affecting so much more than just my Mat time. The effect on me personally is beginning to be noticed by me...that's scary! My training time, content and effort have been on a steady improvement, my mental aspects are strengthening and I am generating new goals and framing my mindset to achieve those goals so much more effectively. Am I still getting punked...yeah, sometimes, now though I analyze not just the punk or method, but myself and look very closely at me and what caused me to buy into some situation I should know better than. There are times my attitude could be better, but generally speaking my attitude stays high and forward... it's time for these changes and sometimes we just needed that instructor to help us see it. Thanks Paul!" -- Dan Myers, Grappling Student

"Keep giving the great information, I finally feel like someone else has been through what I am going through!" "Just when I'm hitting some rocky waters - the Blue Belt Blues - your Mental Game package arrived and I pulled it out and listened to your first audio CD, Old Dog in the Pit. Wow! What great material! After your free ezines and weekly testimonials, I knew you weren't "over-promising and under-delivering," It was clear that you were trying to put really USEFUL material out there, stuff we could immediately use to start tuning up our game. But I have to admit I had my reservations about how useful an audio coaching CD would be. After all, aren't there already TONS of motivational materials on the market place already? And can't we just "adjust our mental attitude" by ourselves on the fly? Can this stuff even be taught? Well, there might be alternative motivational materials, but those were mostly written for salespeople, not for fighters! They certainly weren't written by a "Wise Grappler" for other grapplers. Even the wrestling books, written for high school and college competitors, miss the nuances of the Jiu-Jitsu World. It's that old saying - "I guess you had to be there" - it's true, and hearing war stories and tips from you, Paul Greenhill, a Team Lloyd Irvin Black Belt who was there at the BEGINNING of Team Lloyd Irvin - well, for people like me that's like being an Army Ranger and finding out the guy who's sitting next to you is a seasoned Delta Force Warrior. You just want to listen and absorb, so you can do YOUR job better and maybe someday be like HIM. Your audio CD grabbed me like that! You have actually "walked the walk" which is why you can "talk the talk." You know what it's like to run into the type of discouragement and other "enemy within" traps that we run into almost every time we step on the mat. I'm glad you are filling the BJJ Instructional gap with "coaching." Usually, it's only an academy's "favored students" that get useful feedback or any kind of real "coaching" (as opposed to instruction in basic BJJ techniques). Sometimes, NO ONE gets coached, it's pure sink or swim. For those who wonder whether a coach outside the actual academy can help, I can say "Yes!" -- One Determined Dog (California), Grappling Student

"Keep giving the great information, I finally feel like someone else has been through what I am going through!" "Last night, I went to class with a whole different attitude. After the warm up we went over a move a drilled it like usual. Then we sparred. 2-8 min rounds (back-to-back), then I grabbed a young kid about my size and we drilled side control escapes and mount escapes for about 10 minutes. I like the 70/30 aspect and everything else you said. I forgot to fill out my notebook, but I will next time. Keep giving the great information, I finally feel like someone else has been through what I am going through!" -- Jay Gibbs, Grappling Student

"I'll keep chipping away at the stone and, one day, I will have one helluva masterpiece statue!" "I just got through listening to both the "Old Dog in the Pit" and "5 Mental Traps That Hinder OG Training" a second time through...and I am starting my 3 time around! This helps to re-enforce what I have learned and also fills in the blanks on what I did not remember. Your mini-biography helped quite a bit as it helps me to identify with you.  Also, you being candid helped a lot too!! So far, I have set mini-goals for myself and am utilizing postive pre-framing and I honestly say that positive thoughts do make me feel better about my game. And thanx for checking in with me...nothing earth-shattering to report, but like you said...it does not happen overnight.  I'll keep chipping away at the stone and, one day, I will have one helluva masterpiece statue! " -- Erwin Guadiz, Grappling Student

"Absolutely no one else covers the inner psyche of the (young) and old BJJ enthusiasts like the Wise Grappler!" "The Wise Grappler is the real deal and I have found the advice to be invaluable. Every aspect of the mental side of the BJJ game, ranging from personal insecurities to honest to goodness fear, is discussed honestly and directly. Absolutely no one else covers the inner psyche of the (young) and old BJJ enthusiasts like the Wise Grappler! Now armed with the practical advice of the Wise Grappler, my game is improving every time I take the mat. I'm proud to consider myself a member of the OG Nation and I definitely don't sweat rolling with the young guns anymore." -- Neil Duke (43), Attorney

"Paul Greenhill is Team Lloyd Irvin's best kept secret!" "Paul Greenhill is Team Lloyd Irvin's best kept secret! I have personally benefited a TON from his technical help, as well as his mindset for training and competing. Anytime I'm having trouble, I go find "MP" for help--he hasn't let me down yet. Naturally, there's still plenty of time for me to be massively disappointed, but at the time of this post, I have yet to have that occur. Check out the page and take a look at what he has to offer. You have literally NOTHING to lose, balanced against a whole lot that you stand to gain. Doesn't seem like much of a choice to me." -- Ryan "Dr. Ryangle" Hall (23), BJJ/Grappling Champion

"This CD is more than motivational. You touched on factors that I deal with all the time!" "This CD is more than motivational. You touched on factors that I deal with all the time! One thing that I totally agree with you is, you will NEVER hear me complain about my age and I think that I've established some respect from my younger classmates that as a white belt, I'm not a practice dummy! I could go on and on, but I just wanted to drop a short note giving you rave reviews on this masterpiece you've started. I'm convinced that some of the” young punks" can learn a thing or 2 from this CD. I can tell that you know what you're talking about...there was never a break in your dialogue searching for what to say." -- Eric Konohia (47), Personal Security Professional

I promise your situation is not unique. And more importantly - your situation is NOT hopeless.

The big problem is that people who suffer from poor grappling mat attitudes have been fed myths through grappling experts, grappling forum discussions, and any other loser too stupid to see the value in mental skill development to boost their grappling to the next level. Here are…

The 7 biggest myths about mental skills training that will never get you the results you want!

Myth #1: Mental skills training is a bunch of crap used by crooks (like the Wise Grappler) to rip people off for their money!
Myth #2: Mental skills training is common sense stuff, why would I pay someone to tell me something I already know?
Myth #3: Even if mental skills training worked, it wouldn’t work for me!
Myth #4: What can I learn from an audio CD that I don’t already know?
Myth #5: Why should I listen and pay my money to a guy that calls himself the Wise Grappler, an unknown black belt
Myth #6: Mental skill training is overrated. I’ll just work harder on my grappling techniques!
Myth #7: With all that I’ve accomplished at my age, I don’t need someone younger than me telling me my “mat attitude” sucks!

Wouldn't you agree that it's crazy to think you'll get different results if you keep doing the same thing over and over again? If I keep touching a hot stove and kept getting burned - I'd be silly to think the next time I touch that hot stove I won't get burnt. That's why you need to try something different and…
