Don't Be Shy

This coming weekend I'm headed to Seattle to train at Erik Paulson's MMA and submission grappling seminar (hosted by Chris Clarke of www.nwkali.com).

If you're at seminar please introduce yourself; I always enjoy meeting my virtual friends in real life!

40th Birthday, UFC 100 and GrappleCamp 2009

To celebrate my upcoming 40th birthday I'm organizing and hosting a great big grappling get-together. I'm calling it GrappleCamp 2009 and it will be in Vancouver BC on Saturday July 11th and Sunday July 12th.

At this event I'll be sharing ton of new material that's been working really well for me. Butterfly Guard, X Guard, Half Guard, Kneebars, Omo Plata, Leglocks, etc. - a masterclass on the topics I've covered in my DVDs.

GRAPPLECAMP PRE-SEMINAR

I'm also hosting an optional 'pre-seminar' on the evening of Friday July the 10th. At the pre-seminar I'll be going over the fundamentals of the material for the weekend. The feedback from other pre-seminars is that they're insanely useful, especially if you're new to some of the material.

It'll be free for anyone already registered for the seminar. Yup. No Cost. You're welcome :-)

UFC 100

After training on Saturday we'll go on a group 'field trip' to a local restaurant to view UFC 100! I started watching the UFC back in the early 1990's, so there's no way I'm going to miss this historic MMA episode. And you're invited to come along too!

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION

I fully expect this event to sell out, so by signing up early you'll assure yourself a spot, get a price break, and also get a much coveted Grapplearts.com T-Shirt.

Upcoming Seminars

Although I really enjoy teaching seminars, I don't teach very many of them. And when I do, they're usually small and close to home. Well in the next couple of months I'm turning that all on it's head.

On June 3rd 2009 I'll be teaching a leglock workshop in Toronto Ontario. It's a small space, so it will be limited to twenty participants. Register by emailing classes@openmat.ca or call Billy @ 647 269-8466.

And on July 11th and 12th 2009 I'm hosting the first Grapplearts Summer Seminar in Vancouver BC. I'm still putting the curriculum together for this one, but I want to cover a lot of the new material I'm using on the mats and have never taught on any of my DVDs. More about this one soon.
