SBGi's 11th Spring Camp was a blast!


Awesome -Awesome - Awesome Camp!

First off, we all missed Luis very much, he got very sick on the way to the plane.

But that said, I probably picked up more things from this Camp myself, then any other previously. Eric Jetton's wrestling clinic was amazing. . .tons of little details that had an immediate impact on my game.


Karl, as always, rocked with his clinch and BJJ sections. His brown belt was overdue, and well earned.

Eric Hemphill showed why he is SBGi's newest black belt with some amazing Jits techs, his game is unique, and dangerous.


And Whittier?!

He taught the flip side of the 3 zones of death defense we all work that Kav taught last spring. Fantastic fundamentals for the guy in top guard for MMA. . . .and the side training between Steve Whittier and and Hemphill gave us a whole new MMA guard bottom game to play with. As always, simple and effective.


Also big thanks to Rebecca for some very cool warm ups, as well as to everyone who showed up from around the world. I really appreciate the guests we had from Canada, Scotland, London, etc. . . . .One of the individuals present, who has not really been around the scene before wrote me this:

"I was completely blown away by the vibe and energy of all the sbg players...amazing. That is what i call authenticity."


I couldn't say it better myself. Thanks everyone. . .now I am going to sleep for a few days ; )
