Frequently Asked Questions

💳 How do I book?

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

You can pay in full or, where available, choose a payment plan at checkout. Your booking is confirmed once your first payment has been received.

💸 How does pricing work?

We offer pre-sale pricing when a retreat first opens, followed by regular pricing.

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

🥋 Who is a BJJ retreat for?

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, and the small-group format means there’s plenty of opportunity to ask questions, roll and learn at your own level.

🧘 I’ve never done yoga — is that okay?

Absolutely! No yoga experience is needed.

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

✈️ Is transport included?

Flights are not included.

Airport transfers are included on most of our international retreats. The exact arrangements vary by destination, so check your retreat page for details. Where transfers are included, we’ll collect your travel information closer to the retreat and organise the rest.

🛏 What are the accommodation options?

Accommodation options vary slightly between venues, but generally include:

Co-Share: Our most affordable option, sharing a larger room with other retreat guests.
Twin Share: Two guests sharing a room with separate beds.
Private Room: Your own room for the duration of the retreat.
Book for Two: A room for two people booking together, with bed configuration depending on the venue.
If you’re travelling solo and choose shared accommodation, we’ll organise the rooms and do our best to put people together who we think will be a good fit.
Have a particular room request? Get in touch and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.

🛂 Do I need a visa?

Visa and entry requirements depend on your destination, nationality and passport.

It’s your responsibility to make sure you meet the entry requirements for your retreat destination. Australian travellers can check current destination advice through Smartraveller.

🚫 What if I need to cancel?

Retreat bookings are non-refundable, so please make sure you can commit to the retreat dates before booking.

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

For full details, please read our Cancellation & Ticket Policy.

👯 Can I bring friends?

Of course! If you’re travelling together, you can choose Twin Share or Book for Two depending on the retreat and how you’d like to share your room.

If you’re part of a larger group, get in touch and we can help organise your accommodation.

🌏 Can I come solo?

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

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

🥗 Is food included?

Yes. Meals are included, with the exact inclusions varying between retreats and venues.

Check the individual retreat page for details on which meals are included. Dietary requirements can generally be catered for; just let us know when you book.
