Mathieu Paquet – BJJ Globetrotters Iceland Camp

Which camp has been your favorite so far?

I really enjoy each camp. All of them are full of high energy, magical.

However, St. Barth is my favorite, we are litteraly in paradise (maybe more than..) at every moment. Find again my old friends, meet new, sun, beach, surf, and of course BJJ.

It seems that what binds us is BJJ, but it is the desire to create strong connections, to share and build unforgettable memories, to savor every second smiling.

I love each person. We all have something to receive, to offer, to share.

Mathieu Paquet – BJJ Globetrotters Caribbean Camp

Favorite stories/moments from the camps?

Zen Camp: The place is wonderful, full of dreams. The decor so beautiful!! The detail that makes the difference: all in white gis!! Such a wonderful picture in my mind.

Iceland: The Vikings tournament: Christian had brought a huge speaker and was playing Celtic music. We thought we were in the Viking’s time.

St. Barth: The moment when all camp participants cooked for the last dinner. Emulation was at its peak, everyone was eager to do the best of themselves. I appreciate all the details that make this camp so special. Even the music during the open mat. The hammock never too far from the tatami mats.
