Staking their claim to the $3000 cash prize for the black belt absolute division at the 8th Arizona International Open on March 9 and 10 are Bastos brothers, Bruno and Ricardo.

Last weekend in San Antonio, Texas, the brothers were able to close out both the Brown/Black belt over 202 pounds and the heavy absolute divisions at the Abu Dhabi Trials. Not wanting to lose their winning momentum, the two are ready to try for a repeat performance in Phoenix, Ariz. in preparation for the Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship two weeks later in Irvine, Calif.

Are you having a hard time transferring all your hard work in training practices to the competition mat?

Are you feeling so anxious about performing because you don’t want to disappoint your coach, family, and friends to the point that you can’t think clearly and perform to the best of your ability?

Are you trying to perform perfectly in competition? Do you beat yourself up after mistakes and dwell on errors?

If you answered, “Yes,” to any of these questions, Mental Skills Training (M.S.T.) may be the key to unlocking your true potential as an athlete and as a successful person.
