Who can attend?
Anyone. It doesn’t matter what style you study, what rank you are, whether you are a beginner or an expert, you will get something out of this training camp.
Is this an instructor camp?
Yes. However, if you are wanting to certify as a new instructor, there will be an extra cost in addition to the cost of the camp. Additionally, if you are a current instructor, attending this camp will keep you certified, and give Grandmaster Frank an opportunity to evaluate you for level advancement.
What are you doing to keep students COVID safe?
If you are concerned about being exposed, there is a virtual training option.
This camp will be held out doors. All attendees will be temperature checked when they arrive each morning for training. Attendees are free to wear a mask, especially if you are unable to maintain a 6 foot distance from your partner. Masks will not be supplied. Attendees are also free to only train with one partner.
How will virtual training work?
Each session will be streamed using Zoom. Each virtual attendee will need an account at BramFrankModularTraining.com and will be granted access to the camp information which will include a Meeting ID#, password and link to the the meeting. After the camp is over, video of the virtual sessions will be available to those attendees.
We ask anyone who virtually attends with a partner, that both of you register.
If you are a school and want to Zoom the class for a large group of students, please contact Sensei Mish and we can work something out.
Do you have to attend the Camp to go to the Birthday BBQ?
Yes and No. Only attendees can attend the BBQ even if you attend just one day or the entire camp. However, you can bring someone with you to the BBQ if you are going to attend.

As a school owner how may students do I need to bring to get in free?
Four. All that is needed is 4 of your students to attend. Preferably they should register online, but this can also be done at the door. Send me the names of your 4 students and I will send you a code for you to register for free.
