I’ve trained with schools in Philadelphia to Mississippi, with instructors that would have you drill only techniques without sparring, to instructors that only gave instruction when you’d ask. For the most part the techniques were the same, where a choke was a choke and a pass was a pass. The body only had specific ways to move and the only difference between schools was the subtlety of the explanation.
I would question why is it that the body was most effective moving one way over another, why it was important for me to know how to fall, how does this work, what’s the point of this gi? Whenever I would ask why the answer was always “Because it works” or “Because it makes you a better fighter.” There are very few schools out there that explained the mechanics of how position works, but Crazy 88 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is among that elite group.
You don’t need to look far to see the science behind Julius Park’s method of instruction because it’s apparent with the success & growth of his pupils as well as the at-home feeling you get when you step onto his mats. There have only been two times I’ve gone to schools and walked away knowing that I’ve improved. The first being when I started at MMA / BJJ in Philly and the second is now.
There isn’t anything else that can be said to support what I know about this camp, so if my testimonial and the accolades of others aren’t enough; I’d say come and check it out for yourself, then find a school somewhere else and compare the two — the difference will be almost immeasurable.
