Just wanted to give a huge shout-out and thank you to The Base Camas, Professor Gil, coaches and students for having my son Reagan Rousseau on the mats to train NOGI recently! It's always great to cross train with friends at a high level! Reagan is an advanced grey belt and very competitive and loves training everyday. He really loved Professor Gils instruction and live rolls in the teens class. Reagan Cross trains at different academies to keep leveling up for competitions year round, and also loves encouraging upcoming students to train hard and harder. We will definitely be back to the Base Camas often to keep that fire burning on the mats! Let's gooooo!! π€ππ

The Base Camas is a top notch academy. Two of my daughters joined the gym around a year ago. Coach Gil and the other coaches have gone above and beyond to instruct and encourage my kiddos. My daughter had her first competition in Salem, and she was the only one competing from The Base Camas. 5 coaches showed up to support her, as well as other students. I was blown away by the support! It was not long of me watching the kids practice that I decided to join. My experience as an adult is much the same. Coach Gil is knowledge, humble, and encouraging. He has built a family oriented and family feeling culture. I cannot recommend this establishment enough!
