A great European Open meeting & upcoming camp
Last weekend we held a meeting for everyone interested in participating i European Open BJJ, which will be held in Lisboa, Portugal, from January 17th – 25th in 2025.
We were happy to see a great interest in the meeting, with around 20 participants. The main focus of the meeting was to make alignments of expectations – what do you expect in regards to this competition, and competitions in general and which kind of effort do we in turn expect from you, if you want to achieve your goals.
As a result of the interest shown, we have arranged a training camp as preparation for Europeans. These camps will be held in place of our elite BJJ classes, and can be attended even if you do not plan on going to Europeans, but are willing to help out with the training preparations.
However, you have be of a certain level and already be training frequently, in order for this to make sense for both you and your training partners. The training will consist of a lot of specific and regular sparring. We also expect you to have an idea on what you want to work on, as there will not be any general instruction.
The classes are called “EM Camp 2025” in the training plan, and will be held until the tournament starts in mid January 2025
