UFC Weekend - What did you think?

Hey Victory Family,

Well. the UFC came to Chicago Finally!

A few months back we had a testamonial contest. Well. there were so many good ones I could not choose 3. So, I decided to invite ALL the participants over to my house for a UFC party.

Here is the video:

While everyone had a great time, there was a lot of dissapointment in the main event. Also, mixed feeling on Silva peerformance.

What did you think? Post a comment on your thoughts.

Also, Everyone has been asking about more proof on my "Fish Story" so I thought you would enjoy my Fish Video shot by a special guest commnetator.

By the way, I only have one more spot left for the Intensive personal training program starting next week. If you are interested in snatching that final spot, email me right away at:

dinariccardo@sbcglobal.net

It's Kinda Funny.

I had a bunch of asking me about the fishing story the other day.

They were asking me if I was just telling a "Fish Story". Well, I am a fisherman and all fisherman like to talk about the "Big One" that got away. So I included a picture as my PROOF!

 

Molly took a picture and we put this beauty back into the pond.

I didn't mention that I let Molly reel her in, she had a blast!

In case you missed the email and the STORY I am referring to here it is:

I had something weird happen to me the other day.

I was taking a break from work in front of my computer
and went out fishing at a local pond.

I love to fish this local pond 3 blocks from my house,
barley no one fishes there and I catcth a lot of nice fish.
(I throw them all back).

Anyway, I drifted off and started to think about Tommy Wolst
(Orland Park MMA Program Instructor) and how great of Instructor
he has turned out to be.

Then, i got a picture of the first time I really got to know Tommy.
It was during an IPTP (Intensive Personal Training Program) that I
was conducting that he attended.

In that IPTP, I evaluated his MA skills, taught him some fine points that
he was missing in his current technique set, created an training routine
for him to follow and created a 5 year goal plan for every area of his life.

The amazing thing about that was after that IPTP I saw Tommy really HYPER
GROW!

Next thing I know , He was my assitant and now he's teaching class at Orland Park!

The other Amazing thing is that he has reached many of his goals on his 5 year plan in
less than 17 months!

And it all started because he took the step to invest in himself and do that IPTP.

Here's what happened,

I was conducting a Seminar at our Ranch in Oregon Illinois. Over 25 of our students attended that
seminar. At the end of the day, I let everyone know thatI was going to be doing a 4 hour IPTP
 in a few weeks and the cost would be $1000 dollars.

Tommy and a few others jumped at it and thier lives have not been the same.

So, I thought to myself maybe it's time to do it again.

Here's why.

Because, I love to see people who take a chance reach thier goals.
That's my story! I was the underdog in every situation I faced.

That's why I LOVE helping people braek through barriers to thier achievment.

I know what your probably saying "Sounds great! but,  there is no way I could afford
$1000 these days.

I understand.

I will make it easy for you to do what Tommy and others have experienced.

Startting Saturday Nov 1 st for 4 consecutive Saturday mornings at 10 am I will
be conducting the Intensive Personal Training program limited to only 6 students.

For 1 hour every Saturday for a month I will be personally training you, evaluating your skills,
creating routines you can do at home and take you through my Goal setting program that will get you results.

How much is it?

Well, in the past I charged $1000 per person for this program. This time around I am going to crush alll
barriers and make it available for 2 mothly payments of $250 dollars (That's 1/2 price).

If you are interested in this program please reply back to this emaiul and let me know.

If not, or it's not hte right time....Don't worry, I will do this again in a year or so.

If now is the time for you to break through than reply back to this email now.

In your corner,

Dion Riccardo

PS.  If you are not satisfied with the training after the sessions are done, I will refund your  Money in Full!
This way, I take the burden of making sure you get the results you are looking for.

PSS. Later this week I will be sending along a short video interview with Tommy so you can hear it in his own words!

Anyway, watch the video below and listen to what Tommy said about his experience a little over a year ago. If The IPTP program is something you want to do (1 hour semi private lesson for 4 Saturday mornings in November). Email me right away. dinariccardo@sbcglobal.netand let me know you are in.

There is only 2 out of 6 spots left.

The Last chance to turn in your application is today. Please turn in your application to your instructor.
