Master Worlds Camp at the UFC gym in review

My Master Worlds Camp that I held last week at the UFC gym in Blue Diamond turned out to be unreal!. There were so many different people from so many different parts of the word who attended. We had people from Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico and all across the USA.  The morning workshops were ladies only and the evening sessions were for both guys and girls. It was a good opportunity for me to be able to teach techniques that work better for women in the morning sessions but then also share the love of BJJ in general in the evening sessions. 

The focus of all the sessions were to keep sharp and stay moving. I did lots of drilling and reps for fundamental movement patterns and we discussed points and strategies. 

Teaching the ladie's morning session one of my favourite passes.

The evening session had a great turn out of men too. Gone are the days where only men taught. Ladies are out in the front teaching also. Jiu Jitsu is Jiu Jitsu and we can learn from everyone regardless of gender or size. 

So many of the peeps who attended went onto compete and medaled at the podium. I am super proud of all of you for getting out there and putting it all on the line! 

Stay tuned for more events that I will be holding at the UFC gym... I am excited and grateful for all the opportunities and all the amazing people who cross my path in the sport that we all love.
