I want to thank my wife for her never ending support...whether it’s time being at the gym, teaching in the schools or traveling for continuing education, she has always supported me 100%...her belief in me and her genuine love for wanting me to achieve my personal goals keep me motivated to work through any adversity that comes my way... I want to thank my children Maleah and Reece....they may not realize it right now, but they are two of the most important forces in my life that drive me to better myself... I want to thank my “brother from another mother and gf”....as crazy as they sometimes think I am, they understand why I love the martial arts so much, they are genuinely interested in how my journey is going, and they are two of my biggest supporters.... I want to thank my students at SBG Niagara....such an awesome group of people that allow me to be a positive influence in their lives...they motivate me to always give it my all when I coach them, and they inspire me as much as I may inspire them... I want to thank all the SBG Coaches worldwide...the most generous, humble, genuine, sincere, and caring Coaches anyone could ever want to be associated with....as good of Coaches they all are, they are even better people....they genuinely want to see EVERYONE succeed and be better, and they hold nothing back in helping to achieve that....a tremendous force to be around, and you can’t help but be better with them on your side...

SBG NIAGARA REVIEW: Here is just one of the many reasons SBG NIAGARA is a great place to be a member of... “I am very proud to have just awarded Rich Beaupit his purple belt in BJJ. Like all SBG belts, it wasnt due to time in grade, position in the tribe, or volume of techniques he can demonstrate. It is instead, a symbol that represents tangible skill, personal performance and coaching ability, that Rich earned from years of effort and battles, on the mat. It is a symbol of something that cannot be faked. I also want to say that Rich is the kind of man I respect a great deal. And that respect has only grown over time. A strong family man who lives his values. A dedicated father who always puts his kids first. A hard worker who never takes a handout. A benefit to his community, and a positive role model to the thousands of kids he has taught and helped mentor over many decades. He is someone whose advice I would, and will, seek. And I keep him on speed dial for when my daughters hit their teenage years and I need the counsel of someone whose been there, and done it the right way. Well done, Rich. I am proud to have you as part of the Tribe.” Matt Thornton SBG President STRAIGHT BLAST GYM NIAGARA We Change Lives...Guaranteed! Come join our Team in 2014! CLIP FOR THE WEEK: SBG BJJ Ironman..munity, passion, humility, generosity, honesty, and most of all...AUTHENTICITY...something the whole tribe shares....an incredible experience! Have an awesome week everybody!
