Sam schedules the ones people ask for, and emails the list before he announces them.
Why it works
At white and blue belt you get the bug. You buy video instructionals, maybe book a few privates. Then you realise you haven't watched most of the instructionals.
By purple and brown belt you understand what was missing. You need to feel the techniques, ask questions, and practise in the right environment.
Seminars are great. A four-week workshop is better: you practise between sessions, and by the end the new skills are baked in. Then you pick another one.
“After training for 7 years I've realised that several focused sessions in small groups beat one-off seminars and video instructionals any day. These workshops that Sam puts on are great for polishing technique and helping to bake it into my game.”
