Which BJJ Globetrotters camps have you attended and which camp has been your favorite so far??

I love the energy and vibe of the Globetrotters Camps. I’ve only attending the USA Camps on 3 occasions. Now that my academy is settling in and I have students that I can rely on to cover classes I will definitely be attending more in the future.

Favorite stories/moments from the camps?

My favorite take away from all the camps were the friendships I’ve made. This is something that is special with Jiu Jitsu. I’ve traveled all over the world teaching seminars and Globetrotters gives me that same opportunity to make lifelong connections with people from all over.
