What more do I need to say? Balaton BJJ camp is the biggest event I'm looking forward to this summer. Surrounded by like-minded people. Incredible spacious shaded lakeside training area. Nice fresh air blow through the training area. Crisp clean lake to cool off straight after training session. Seminar with the best coaches around the world. Also worth mentioning is the ZR Team night outing, which is definitely not to be missed.
