For this first time in billiards history, both Efren Bata Reyes and Francisco Django Bustamante participated as instructors to educate students on their own personal style and knowledge of billiards, which has inspired the Philippines and impacted the world of pool! Pool instructor Tony Robles and 2x World Champion Thorsten Hohmann taught students teaching on USA and European techniques.
Students came from around the world including France, Mexico, Korea, and all parts of the United States, e.g., from California to Washington D.C., to attend the Predator Pro Pool School! Attendance in the Predator Pool School was limited to the first 20 students to ensure that every student received valuable one-on-one instruction, and to promote a balanced teacher-to-student ratio.
In a record-setting pace, all 20 spots were filled in the first month of open enrollment. Local fans not enrolled in the school, as well as all the students, were privy to a free exhibition by the pro pool players after the first day of class on May 21, 2008.
In addition to time spent learning from the pros, all the pro school students were invited to a BBQ party at Thorsten Hohmann and roomie, Dan Laski's, home to enjoy a homecooked meal, as well as an opportunity to get to know the pros outside of the Predator Pro Pool school. Talk about one awesome experience!
And guess what? Twenty out of the 20 students who took a survey all said they would not only recommend the Predator Pro Pool School to others, but they themselves would come back for future schools! And I kid you not! Jacksonville, Florida-based Top Hat Gameroom hosted the monumental event. As everyone knows, Top Hats Gameroom was named a Top 10 Pool Room. Other sponsors of the event were Erik Decious of the Billiard Factory, Mike Baggett and Jim Lucas of Cue & Case. "The AnitoKid loves pool schools!"
