SBGi Fall Camp in Niagara Falls rocked!


Despite a freak snow storm that had the Buffalo NY airport closed for the first few days prior to Camp, the annual SBGi Fall Camp in Niagara Falls Canada rocked!


Huge thanks to Rich Beaupit for hosting this Years camp. Rich's gym looked fantastic, and there was plenty of mat space for everyone.


Both Eric Hemphill and Dallas Van Winkle found themselves trapped in Chicago due to the closure of the airport in Buffalo. Many others were unable to attend due to this unusual storm which hit much earlier then normal for the season. Fortunately both Eric and Dallas made it in late Saturday night, and Eric was able to teach a large, and extremely popular BJJ session on Sunday afternoon for the camp attendees.


Despite the weather there were still well over 50 people on the mat. Many from Canada, and others from places like Maine, Boston, Denmark, etc. It was a great time, and we would like to thank everyone who was able to make it.
Training sessions focused on BJJ, MMA, and stand up. With emphasis on Alive training methods for all ranges. There was also several extensive Q&A sessions where camp members were encouraged to ask any questions they had.
Look for the Spring Camp to be help mid March in sunny California! Details to be forthcoming.
