As much as we hate to admit it, we sometimes fall short of our goals and plans. We have been attempting for years to utilize the web as a resource for improving communications and training opportunities. Although attitudefirst.com is a site that we are proud of we don’t have the time or know how to effectively develop the functions necessary to create the training format we are wanting. However, we will continue to work on it. But in the meantime we have realized that we can accomplish the intent of our goals on Facebook.
Facebook allows us the opportunity to have a secured area to maintain our content. It’s not that we don’t want to include others it’s just that we Do want to help you. The more people involved the less intimacy. So with all that said we are pleased to announce the development of the following groups on Facebook:
AFTC Yellow Belt- Established with content
AFTC Orange Belt- Established no content
AFTC Purple Belt-Established no content
AFTC Blue Belt- Not Established
AFTC Green Belt- Not Established
AFTC Brown Belt- Not Established
So what does this require for access? First you must be a member of Facebook and then we need to invite you to join the group. We can appreciate that there are some privacy issues with being members of Facebook and that many do not want to deal with the social networking aspect. I believe you can set you privacy levels to where no one can know you are a member unless you let them know.
Once you are a member you will need to contact me and become a fan of the Attitude First page. (Which I am looking into how to make that a group and if I can move the information I have over to it.) Then as you move through the belt ranks you will be invited to join the appropriate group.
We are planning to have videos for every technique and concept for each belt level. Additionally, there are opportunities for discussions amongst member which should help reinforce your training. We are putting together photo albums for each belt rank also and think this could be a great resource for memories!
Agreeably Facebook is not the perfect solution but it has all the infrastructure we need to set up the groups and the cost is right.
So please if interested, attempt to “friend” Lawrence Robinson (if we are not already friends) and I will send you an invitation to join. If I haven’t sent you anything just let me know and I will attempt to correct the oversight.
We hope you find this new resource valuable and an effective resource to help you reach your goals concerning your training.
See you on the Mat! |
