The terms often overlap, and there isn’t a strict definition. A BJJ camp is usually focused primarily on intensive training, while a BJJ retreat combines regular jiu-jitsu sessions with the wider experience of being away.

Our retreats include plenty of time on the mats, alongside accommodation, meals, yoga or mobility, recovery and time to relax and enjoy the location. You’ll train seriously, but the entire trip doesn’t feel like one long training session.

All levels are welcome, from newer white belts through to experienced black belts.

The training is designed to give everyone something useful to work with, with opportunities to ask questions, roll and learn at your own level.

Absolutely. Many people attend on their own, and it’s a great way to meet and train with people from different gyms and backgrounds.

Retreat groups tend to come together quickly, both on and off the mats. You don’t need to know anyone before you arrive.

Absolutely. No yoga experience is needed.

The yoga and mobility sessions are designed specifically to complement BJJ, support recovery and help you keep moving well throughout the retreat.

Options vary between venues, but generally include co-share accommodation, twin-share rooms, private rooms and rooms for two people booking together.

If you’re travelling solo and choose shared accommodation, we’ll organise the rooms and do our best to match you with people we think will be a good fit. Check the individual retreat page for the options available at that venue.

Yes. Non-training partners and friends are welcome.

The most suitable booking and payment arrangement can vary depending on the retreat and your circumstances, so get in touch and we can work out an option that suits you.

Yes. Meals are included, although the exact number varies between retreats.

Some meals may be left open intentionally, giving you time to explore the area, eat out or choose whatever suits you that day. The individual retreat page will clearly explain which meals are included, and dietary requirements can generally be accommodated.

Choose your retreat and accommodation option and book directly through the website.

Most places can be secured with a deposit, with the remaining balance paid either in full or through a payment plan. The available payment options will be shown on the retreat page, or you can contact us if you need a different arrangement.

Retreats generally open with pre-sale pricing, followed by standard pricing and, where applicable, a final release.

Booking early gives you access to the lowest available price and the widest choice of accommodation. Once you book, your price is locked in.

Flights are not included.

If you can no longer attend, you may transfer or on-sell your place to another participant. Contact us before arranging the transfer so we can update the booking details and make sure everything is handled correctly.
