What is the Guerilla Grappling Camp?
The Guerilla Grappling Camp is ZR TEAM VIENNA’s annual summer camp, open to grapplers from every team and country. For one weekend, a big tent with a mat area stands right on the shore of Pichlinger See in Linz, and between seminars you can go for a swim in the lake.
