Tickets are limited of course, and the spots are filling up fast. This promises to be one of the most unforgettable Jiu-Jitsu experiences in one of Europe’s most vibrant cities. We spoke to the organizers to get their comments on the camp, and they had this to say:
“We’ve put extra effort in making all the seminars fit together, so people can learn more efficiently. Nobody likes the feeling at the end of a camp, when you’re brain-fried and barely remember anything. We’re also filming all the classes so the visitors can revisit the techniques even after the camp!”
