Favorite stories/moments from the camps?

Winter Camp when I started and lost a snowball fight with 20 ish campers from the balcony with no shirt on and with no snow. And like a cliche from an old move the american friend came to the rescue with a ton of snow so we could fight back.

That time in Heidelberg when I was told that everything closes at 01 o’clock in Heidelberg. I accepted the challenge and Heidelberg did not close :)

Every open mat at every camp. I learn so much and that is the best moments for me. Just to roll with so many awesome people with different styles and to share knowledge.

Your favorite class/classes to teach at camp? 

The next class I am teaching is always my favorite :) Love to teach so every class is special.  Generally I like to teach fundamental stuff that everybody can do but at an advance level.

 

Anything else you want to add to your profile:

If you are not having fun when you are rolling. You are doing something wrong.
