Dear Legion,
This is a rare "emergency" newsletter.
First, allow me to humbly ask for your help in launching my book into the stratosphere of the Amazon Bestseller List (for martial arts).
I've mentioned in previous editions that the book is launching on 8/14. That is indeed the official date.
However, the book is live on Amazon as of a couple of days ago. It costs $27.99 and arrives in 2 days.
Is There a Deal for Legionnaires?
Indeed there is. In addition to the book, I recorded the demonstrations of techniques that are pictured in the book, which will be available for everyone for free.
On top of that, coaches Sunshine and Austin helped me record the Full No-Gi Video Manual (it took us a full week).
This course has:
- 10 hours of video instruction over 9 chapters (stand up, playing guard, passing guard, front headlock & turtle, side pins, mount, back control, upper body submissions and leglocks). Basically everything I know about the fundamentals of submission grappling.
- 2 bonus courses (Major Outer Reaper, Major Inner Reaper, dedicated to the osoto gari and the ouchi gari)
- A No-Gi Manual Mindmap PDF
- My Essentials of Jiu-Jitsu book (if you haven't downloaded it from the last newsletter)
- A cool community feature where I'll do monthly Q&As for members of that course.
This video course bundle will cost $200.
Cutting to the Chase...
However, if you would be so kind to pay Jeff Bezos $28 and leave a review for the book and my jiu-jitsu prowess, I would absolutely love to give you access to the No-Gi Video Manual for free.
I hate to even ask, but the Amazon algorithm rewards early sales and reviews and pushes the book up the charts. This will help people around the world who are not fortunate enough to have Sloan as their coach be better at jiu-jitsu.
All you have to do to massively help me out is:
- Click this link and buy the book: No-Gi Manual on Amazon
- Leave a 5-star review when you receive it and verify with your own eyes that it is legit.
- Go to nogimanual.com/videos
- Follow the instructions and create an account (it takes 20 seconds)
- Reply to this email with a screenshot of the review
- I'll add the full course to your account
New Event!
The other reason for an extra newsletter is a new event we'd like you to know about. In 'Letters to the Legion III.' I wrote about the delicious ADCC vs. CJI drama.
The Craig Jones Invitational will begin on Friday the 16th in the afternoon. That's why we are organizing a watch party! The 6pm and 7.30pm classes will be cancelled. Instead we will have rounds for all levels at 6pm with a simultaneous stream of the event. With the best in the world competing for $1 million, excitement is guaranteed.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this and helping out with the book launch.
P.S. If you have any questions about the book or CJI, reply to this email or let me know in person if you see me. I'll be at the academy until Wednesday before heading to Vegas.
