Greetings all, I am still new to MartialTalk forums, so bear with me on my postings as I am still a newbie. :) But, I was wondering if anyone has had a good experience or insight into attending a BJJ or a grappling seminar recently. I am currently a student of BJJ here in Michigan and I am always open to getting "new training ideas or concepts" from any and all. As such I thought this would be a great place to get suggestions on which dojo's or instructors put on a good seminar and what seminars to be on the lookout for in the near future.

Thanks in advance!

Hi MIBJJ, I just had John Kavanagh (brown belt) to our place for a week. He was great! I haven't trained with alot of the MI bjj guys. I like the folks at East/West Martial Arts in Plymouth. Ryan ( the owner) is a real nice guy. Most of my training there was done with Brian Barzu (sp?), another top notch guy.


oh,.... I also like the guys at wolverine martial arts :ultracool

Where are you training?

Yeah, I wish I would have found out about your Kavanagh seminar earlier I defnitely would have attended that. I have been training in Saginaw, Mi under Gary Hausbeck at Seung-Ni http://www.seungni.com/. It's been alot of fun been doin the BJJ thing for about 10 months now. I take it your down at wolverine martial arts in Flint?

I don't know if it is BJJ, but certainly was grappling. I went to a pretty good class at Dan Severn's in Coldwater Michigan a couple weeks ago.

You may want to check out his website at http://www.dansevern.com/

have a special guest with him, that will be announced shortly. This
person will also be a BJJ blackbelt.​

The $45.00 pre-registration is for one day. You will receive a rashguard
