Team:

We've discussed this in class but we wanted to formally post information on how to become a member in Master Pedro Sauer's Jiu-Jitsu Association.

Remember, in order to attain rank and attend future Master Sauer seminars you need to officially join his association.

This isn't something you need to do immediately, but please consider joining in the near future, especially if you plan to attend the August seminar. Please also list instructor Scott Smith as your affiliate instructor as you complete the application form.

To sign up, please visit http://www.pedrosauer.com/. I've listed below more information on the application process and the benefits of becoming a member. Please see Scott the next time you're in should you have any questions.

Individual Membership

Whether you are a student at a PSBJJA academy, or independent, you will be able to take advantage of the individual member benefits listed below. Cost of membership is an annual fee of $50.

Individual member benefits include:

• Ability to attain rank under Master Pedro Sauer
• Official Pedro Sauer Association Emblem Patch
• Personalized ID card and number. This card will allow you access to the PSBJJA training application currently in production; due out in late 2008.
• Official listing in the Association History (including instructor lineage and rank)
• Reduced member rates on future Pedro Sauer Seminars (Association scheduled events starting in 2009)
• Free Admittance to the PSBJJA Convention (yearly event gathering beginning in 2008 - location/date TBD)
• Upon receipt of your membership form we will begin processing your information. By mail, you will receive your emblem patch and ID card with your personal ID number.
  

Thanks -- and we'll see you on the mat -- this Saturday!
