Jeff Curran's Williamsburg Training Camp
Bushin Martial Arts, Williamsburg, VA
**Presented by Big Frog Nation** Join 5th-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts **Jeff Curran** and **Mike Diaz** for a two-day training camp in historic Williamsburg, Virginia. With over 65 years of experience between the two, as Pedro Sauer teammates and best close friends for over 30 years, the synergy on the mat is top level and always a treat to the students. Designed for practitioners of all levels, this camp combines quality instruction, technical development, and live training with the friendships and experiences that make Jiu-Jitsu special. ## Event Classification **BIG FROG NATION | CATEGORY 3: TRAINING CAMP** A multi-session Jiu-Jitsu experience designed to bring practitioners together for focused instruction, hands-on training, and time on the mats. Training Camps offer more depth than a traditional seminar while maintaining a welcoming, community-driven atmosphere. **Event Profile** - **Skill Level:** All Levels - **Focus:** Lifestyle - **Vibe:** Relaxed & Social This particular camp emphasizes technical development, friendships, and the Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle rather than competition preparation. Expect quality training, plenty of mat time, and opportunities to connect both on and off the mats. ## More Than Just Training As a lifestyle-focused Big Frog Nation event, this weekend is about more than learning techniques. It's an opportunity to step outside your everyday routine, connect with fellow practitioners, and enjoy the camaraderie that comes from sharing the mats. Along with our training sessions, we'll be getting together for a **Friday night group dinner** and a **Saturday evening potluck and UFC watch party**. In addition, weather depending, we may grab some lunch across the street at Virginia Beer Co. and hit the food truck for lunch. ## Camp Location & Details - **Host Academy:** Bushin Martial Arts Academy — 701-B Merrimac Trail, Williamsburg, VA 23185 - **Registration:** $150 - **FREE Admission For:** Big Frog Nation All Access Members · Emerald Coast Experience / Destin Camp Registrants - **Attire:** Gi (white, blue, or black) - **Recommended Airport:** Richmond International Airport (RIC) ## Host Hotel — DoubleTree by Hilton Williamsburg We're holding a **room block Thursday–Sunday at $129/night**, and the **$12 parking fee is waived** for our group. - **DoubleTree by Hilton Williamsburg** — 50 Kingsmill Road, Williamsburg, VA 23185 - **Phone:** (757) 220-2500 - **Book online:** [Reserve your room in our group block](https://www.hilton.com/en/attend-my-event/wbgkrdt-91u-51a1ce03-bb1c-4f80-b241-2140bfb79ed1/) - **Or call** (757) 220-2500 and book under the group name: *Big Frog Nation/Williamsburg Camp* ## Training Schedule & Social Events ### Thursday, November 12 — Optional Bonus Training Arriving early?
