FAQ – Quick Answers

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 or test for the next instructor level, there will be an extra cost in addition to the cost of the camp.

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 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.
