Find the right BJJ camp for you

Cost and what is included

Compare more than the total price of the trip. Check how many training sessions the package includes, the standard and number of nights, and whether meals are covered. Transport, airport or station transfers, equipment rental, excursions and other activities may be charged separately. Before paying, ask the organizer for the full list of inclusions and extra fees.

Schedule and participant level

See how many sessions are planned each day, how long they last and how much time is left for recovery. The program may focus on technique, sparring, open mats or a mix of these. Check whether participants are grouped by experience and whether you can skip a session when you need rest. This matters most on your first intensive trip.

Instructors and training goal

The instructor's name is only one part of the decision. Compare the main theme, the staff's experience, the language of instruction and the ratio of instructors to participants. If you want to improve a specific area of your game, make sure the program really covers it. At a general camp, variety and the chance to train with new partners may matter more.

Gi, No-Gi and required gear

Check whether the camp runs in Gi, No-Gi or both, and how many sets of gear the organizer suggests. The number of gis and rashguards you need depends on the length of the trip, the number of sessions and access to laundry and drying space. It is also worth confirming requirements for protective gear and other equipment.

Location and logistics

Compare the distance between accommodation and the training venue, arrival and departure times, and how to get there. For trips abroad, check documents, insurance and any health requirements. If the organizer offers shared transport, confirm the route, times and luggage rules.

Frequently asked questions

Can I go to a camp as a white belt?

Some camps welcome people from their first day of training, others require knowledge of the basics. Check the minimum level, how groups are split and how intense the program is. If the description does not say, ask the organizer before booking.

Is it worth going to a BJJ camp on your own?

Yes, many people sign up without a training partner. Before you go, ask about group size, how partners are paired and how shared activities are organized. If accommodation is shared, also confirm how rooms are assigned.

Can people from other clubs take part?

It depends on the rules of the specific event. Many camps are open to all clubs, but the organizer may limit the number of spots or invite only members of selected academies. Confirm this before you pay.

What should I pack for a BJJ camp?

Bring gear that matches the format of the sessions, flip-flops, a water bottle, a mouthguard and hygiene items. Choose the number of gis and rashguards based on the length of the camp, the training plan and laundry and drying options. The organizer may send their own packing list.

Does the camp price include accommodation?

Not always. Compare the participation options and check the number of nights, room standard, meals, training and transport. If the event card does not list the full scope, ask the organizer for written confirmation before paying.

How do cancellations and refunds work?

Each organizer may apply different deadlines and deductions. Before paying, read the terms, check whether your spot can be transferred to someone else and how the deposit and the remaining amount are refunded. For a more expensive trip, consider suitable insurance.
