"Since I left the military years ago, I really struggled finding a sense of purpose and another group of people I could call family. I spent years wanting to try, but I was unsure. Now I regret waiting so long. The coaches are amazing and the other students treated me with respect and helped guide me through everything. Gil makes me feel like we’ve been friends for years. When I walk through that door, I’m greeted like a friend and family, and I’m having fun. I’m very excited to continue my BJJ journey with The Base Camas knowing I have the technical and emotional support I need."
"I have trained all over but now that I moved to Camas I am super happy that the Base is my home gym. Gil teaches amazing modern BJJ both in a Gi and No Gi. It is a laid back atmosphere that accommodates to both hobbyist and competitors. The morning classes are phenomenal, we do open mat then work shop any moves we find during the roll.. its like having a private with a high level black belt every Tuesday Thursday!"
"Training at The Base Camas has been great for me and my family and we love it. Coach Gil is very humble, knowledgeable, caring and an overall great instructor to his students. His drive for building a great community is outstanding and it’s been awesome to see the classes grow! Come train with us!!!"
"Excellent head Coach Gil at the Base Camas - a very clean martial arts space with community spirit that just opened in Camas. As a woman, I feel very safe during the class and that I am learning high-level BJJ as well as practical self-defense in a way that makes me more confident and competent as a whole person. I really appreciate the time Coach Gil takes to understand your learning style and help you fully grasp the moves for a purpose, whether for a tournament, self-defense, or just good exercise. I highly recommend the Base Camas for all levels."
