Day 4 began with an inspirational message from Coach Greg Nelson on keeping perspective. Next, Coach Erik Paulson took over and opened up an encyclopedia of submissions. Session two was pad, mitt, & shield drills. Everyone then moved on to putting what they have learned to the test with Live Go’s. Grappling sparring, Kickboxing Sparring, MMA Sparring. The day ended with another set of group cage matches and the cage/street melee. This was a wonderful camp with great energy and hard work. If you missed it, you owe it to yourself to attend next year. Until then, Train Hard, Train Smart!

Takedowns, Takedowns, and more Takedowns! Day 3 started off with the Merkaba meditation recharge and the throwing commenced. More takedowns than you can shake a stick at. Coaches Erik & Greg showed the finer points of dropping bodies to the floor. Session two was Savate, taught by Professor Nicolas Saignac. He showed how to spar with precision and rapid fire speed. There was a great teaching moment when two students were going at it hard and missing the finer points. He pulled them aside and explained how to safely work your game with precision, speed, and safety. There’s a time for a “Hard Go” and a “Technical Go”. This valuable lesson will be featured on the DVD. Last, but not least, the session ended with “Cage Fight Club”. Multiple one-on-one fights in the cage and then a Skins vs. Shirts melee, street style. Loads of fun and valuable information at CSW.
