Seminars and workshops in Oregon!

The other weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Oregon for the 1st time. It was amazing. Truly a slice of heaven with so much stunning nature. 

My 1st stop was at Lazy Lover headquarters in Portland to teach a women's workshops. Lazy Lover is an awesome clothing brand that makes top notch training and street wear. I taught spider guard techniques and concepts that work well for women. We also touched on some Q&A mostly about empowerment stuff.

My  next stop was in Bend where I taught a co ed seminar at Clarke's University of Martial Arts. And the following day I taught a small women's workshops. The ladies got to work on grip breaks and guard recovery.  It was so amazing to see so many men on the mat, once again.. a real sign of how women's BJJ is  progressing.

Alex one of the ladies was also awarded her purple belt and I was so happy to be present for it! It so so great to see us all move up the ranks!
