THE EXPERIENCE
Time to ask the question. Feel the adjustment. Understand why it works.
Eight sessions across four days give you room to work closely with John. Gi Jiu-Jitsu and Ginástica Natural sit side by side: technique on the mat, movement beyond it.
All belts welcome. Come with curiosity and a willingness to learn.

Detailed instruction, questions and time to work through technique with John.
Movement, coordination, balance and breathing—including Saturday morning on the beach.
The full four-day schedule will be supplied to participants one month before camp begins.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
FOURTH-DEGREE BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU BLACK BELT
A tactician, an expert instructor, and the man behind Birdman’s Wash N’ Fold in Vero Beach.
