What We Do

We create the world’s most desirable jiu jitsu training camps.

We partner with the greatest coaches, not just accomplished in competition, but great teachers and equally great people. We choose the world’s most beautiful destinations and combine world class jiu jitsu instruction with excellent food, luxurious accommodation, great parties, legendary surf and vibrant island culture.

Many try to copy, but nobody does it better.

The Things
That Make
The Difference

World Class Instructors

We partner only with the very best in the world: experienced, proven, and respected.

It’s vitally important to us that, as well as being detailed and thorough teachers, our instructors are approachable, friendly, energetic hosts and inspiring leaders of our camps. Gezary and Bruno fit this bill perfectly and their great sense of humour and shared friendship always makes for a fun and entertaining camp.

Proven, Quality Accommodations

We personally test and stay at all the hotels, resorts and restaurants that we use for our camps so we know that we are using nothing but the very best. There is no compromise in this regard; to make sure you are getting the experience you expect and deserve, only truly excellent accommodation, food and service will do. We invite you to do your own research, read the reviews and you’ll understand why we’re returning to Uluwatu Surf Villas for the third year in a row. 

Hygiene and safety

We use only professional-quality Dollamur roll-out mats which are cleaned and disinfected daily during the duration of the camp and then wrapped, bagged and dry-stored between camps. No thin, dirty, jigsaw mats borrowed from a local kickboxing gym. We also offer a daily laundry service especially for gis (all cool washed and air-dried for minimum shrinkage) and always have first-aid trained staff and equipment on hand.

Accessiblity and Convenience

Another key factor in our destination selection process is accessibility. Nobody wants to endure multiple expensive flights, followed by long ferry and boat connections or arduous bus journeys. Our destinations are always serviced by a convenient, affordable and accessible international airport – and with our Bali camp we have your driver waiting to meet you so you can be on the mats within an hour of leaving the airport! 

Meet The People Behind
Our Camps

We don’t believe in being anonymous!

We are extremely proud of the events and camps that we produce. We stand behind them 100% and we will always be open, responsible, honest and accountable in our dealings with you.

If you ever have issues or questions, we want you to know that we will strive to find a solution to make your stay at our camp and your experience with us the best it can possibly be.

We know that word-of-mouth matters a great deal in the jiu jitsu community and we go to great lengths to ensure our reputation as innovators, honest dealers and creators of the best camps in the world is maintained.

  • I wanted to thank you all for the experience of a lifetime. I’ve been dreaming of doing a camp for several years now and this FAR exceeded my expectations. Food and accommodation were much better than I expected they would be and the training was just perfect – I’ll remember my rolls with Gezary forever (and I have the photos to remind me it wasn’t all a dream!!!!)
