We're excited to welcome Bernardo Faria, Dominyka Obelenyte and other special guests to Bellingham for the second Gi To Sea festival!
This is nearly a full week of special events, from Thursday, June 4 until Monday night, June 7. Registering for this all-week ticket gets you access to EVERYTHING, including ALL the special classes with Dominyka and other guest instructors, and also includes the Bernardo Faria seminar.
The full week ticket is $100 for members, $120 for non-members.
The Bernardo seminar by itself is $80 for members, $100 for non-members, and each special class will be $30, so if you think you'll go to at least two special classes, this is a great deal.
The fun will start on Thursday, June 4. Here's the tentative schedule:
THURSDAY, June 4:
Special guest instructor: 6 p.m.
FRIDAY, June 5
All classes on as normal, with: Noon class: special guest instructor, Nicolas Germanos of Synapse BJJ.
Evening: Special class with Dominyka Obelenyte, four-time world champion, currently teaching at Frogtown Jiu-Jitsu, 6 p.m.
SATURDAY, June 6
11 a.m.-2 p.m: Bernardo Faria seminar. Bernardo is an all-time great and an IBJJF Hall of Famer, a five-time World Champion and absolute champion, as well as the owner of BJJ Fanatics.
Also, we'll shut down Holly St. for outdoor events to be announced. IN CASE OF RAIN, we will move these events under awnings or in front of the academy under the overhang.
