Workshop Jiu Jitsu 2019 Boars Nest Camp

FEBRUARY 28 – MARCH 3

The Boars Nest – Haleiwa, Oahu

THE THEME OF THIS YEAR’S CAMP IS CONCEPT TO TECHNIQUE. FOR EVERY LESSON, THE COACH WILL CHOOSE SOME CONCEPTUAL INSIGHT THAT THEY FEEL IS A CENTRAL ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE OF THEIR JIU JITSU. INSTRUCTION WILL THEN SHOW TECHNIQUES AS INSTANCES OF OR AS GROUNDED IN THIS CONCEPT.

COMPARATIVELY, WE HOPE THE CAMP WILL SHOW THE STARK DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COACHES, HOW THEY GROUND THE SAME TECHNIQUES IN DIFFERENT CONCEPTUAL INSIGHTS, AND SO ARTICULATE VERY DIFFERENT MEANS AND MOTIVES OF DOING THE SAME THING. THIS CONCEPTUAL/TECHNICAL COMPARISON WILL ALSO HELP TO TEASE OUT WHAT EXACTLY MAKES A PARTICULAR STYLE OR GAME WHAT IT IS.

This is the first camp of 2019.  Head instructors from Workshop NYC, Workshop Honololu, Workshop PDX , and their teams coming together for four days of comprehensive instruction and training at The Boars Nest – Haleiwa, Oahu jiu jitsu training facility. Friends from other teams are welcome to come train with us.

In attendance will be:

Aaron Milam: Head Coach, Renzo Gracie Academy PDX / Workshop PDX

Jin Yung: Head Coach, Workshop NYC

Larry Hope: Head Coach, Workshop Honolulu

Head Coach, Renzo Gracie Academy PDX / Workshop PDX

Aaron Milam began training under Carlson Gracie black belt Rey Diogo in 2000, under whom he earned his purple belt.

Aaron also holds a brown belt in Judo under Roy Kawaji.

Jin has wrestled under the instruction of Hamid Kermanshah, NYAC wrestling coach and still practices with Mike Torriero, head coach of the Renzo Gracie Wrestling team. He has also spent time training Judo at the NYAC Dojo, studying with Teimoc Johnston Ono. Jin has also boxed since prior to moving to New York.

Additionally, Jin has coached and cornered fighters from the amateur to professional levels in MMA.

He holds a Bachelors degree in Business Management and a Masters degree in Education.

Larry Hope

Head Coach – Workshop Honolulu

Larry Hope is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Aaron Milam and Jin Yung. After training in NYC for years and receiving a black belt, he relocated to Honolulu, HI. He is dedicated to opening the minds of BJJ players in Hawaii to the infinite potential ways of playing and fostering a deeper understanding of manipulating a resisting body.

As a teacher of bjj, he guides his students to focus more on concepts rather than techniques, and he encourages them to make aesthetic decisions when constructing their own game, so that each student’s game is an outgrowth of his own or her own personality. He believes, ideally, our jiu-jitsu is an outgrowth of our personalities – he tries to foster that relationship in his students.

Prior to his bjj career Larry played soccer, played basketball, studied law, studied psychiatry and studied philosophy – all of which are key to how his jiu-jitsu has grown. By design, he has never competed in a bjj tournament. His unique background and lack of tournament play has given him a distinct outlook on bjj and distinct movements within in his bjj. He specializes in half guard play, truck play, wrist control, kimuras and back takes.

THE THEME OF THIS YEARS CAMP IS CONCEPT TO TECHNIQUE.
