BJJ Training Camps

Our Training Camps are a great way to immerse yourself in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!

When you join our intensive but never exhausting training routine, you will leave behind all distractions and focus on your trainings, enjoy yourself and make new friends.

We are sure you will come back, as we have a fantastic returning rate in all our Camps.

The experience of 11 Summer Camps in Italy, 8 in Poland and 5 in South Africa allow us to say that we deliver a great grappling experience, a fun and learning environment, great camaraderie among all participants and instructors in great locations!

No matter what level you have,  you will get a remarkable experience that will renew your drive for the new season ahead.

One thing that sets us apart is the structure of our classes. We work effectively the basics of the ground game,  with great attention to detail,  explaining concepts and showing techniques that work for beginners and experts, drilling them in speed and exploring variations to later work on situation sparring.

We believe that training must happen in a good mood and in an enjoyable manner. Learning Jiu-Jitsu must be fun too!

Our instructors speaks many languages, so nobody is left behind.

Camps in Poland and Italy are held in August, while in South Africa they happen in November.

We welcome all grapplers, regardless of experience, club affiliation, fitness levels, sex, age or background.

Training Camps 2018

2017 is almost history as I write these lines. With 2 weeks left to the end of the year, our eyes naturally look into the new year ahead. Our team has made great progress this season, and that reflected in all camps growth.

Our weeks together in Poland and Italy worked like magic, lots more people from different clubs training together and enjoying the Camp experience, With a very positive feedback from everyone, not much will change for 2018. Dates will be kept similar and we decided to keep both events in the same places.

Our second Training Camp in Cape Town had twice as more people than in 2016, and we expect this trend to keep going. In 2018 new classes will be added and a new location for the Sunday Gradings as well as a big barbecue is in the plans (Vegans are welcome too)!

We also tried a shorter camp format in South Africa. A weekend in Nelspruit, which is an amazing location near the Kruger Park, the biggest natural reserve of Southern Africa. Three days in an lodge by the river gives a chance to absorb nature’s energy, practice our art and unwind from life’s problems. We loved the place and the participants seemed enthusiastic to come back next year, so this event is confirmed for 2018, with final dates to be released soon.

So that’s the plan for 2018:

VII Summer Camp Poland in Borowice, from 30th of July to 5th of August (FaceBook event)

X Summer Camp Italy in Cesenatico, from 21st to 26th of August (FaceBook event)

III Spring Camp South Africa in Cape Town (early November, dates to be released)

II Weekend Training Camp in Nelspruit (mid to late November, dates to be released)

2016

Each new year we try to improve our Camps, learning from our successes and shortcomings, and we are glad to announce great surprises for this year.

We will meet again in Borowice, Poland for the fifth year and this time we will add a night, starting the camp on the Sunday evening, to accommodate requests from foreigners and people travelling long hours. Dates are set for 31/07 to 07/08.

In Italy we had to change locations a few times in the past 3 years, but not anymore. We felt great last year at the EuroCamp and they will provide us a bigger place to train. Also we will have a special black belt guest. Dates are set for 23/08 to 28/08.

Now the big news is that we are having a Summer Camp in December. Yes, it will be summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and we will travel to Cape Town, South Africa to have our first ever Camp in one of the most beautiful sceneries one can wish for. Dates are not confirmed yet, so stay tuned!

After doing such a good HL Video for our Camp in Poland, we decided to try again in Italy. I really liked the outcome! Edited by Max de Michelis. The song is a rap from Rio written and sung by Alexandre Oliveira, a friend of mine and BJJ practitioner. Check the footage from our trainings in Comacchio, filmed with a GoPro 3:
