Global Grappling Adventures offers a variety of experiences including jiu jitsu techniques, sparring, surfing, yoga, meditation, horseback riding. Developed to be in a camp style, individuals will be given a daily schedule of events (think adult summer camp) and may choose to attend all or some of the excursions depending on interests. This is an all inclusive camp, aside from alcohol, air fare, and some extra excursions. Accommodations (room and board), some excursions, all jiu jitsu/yoga/surf lesson costs and transportation to and from the airport, are included in tuition.

No, Global Grappling Adventures welcomes students of all ages, from children to adults however, we do recommend students ages 16+ attend our event due to the nature of the retreat. We offer classes and instruction for all belt levels to ensure that each student receives the best possible training experience.

Global Grappling Adventures encourages students to bring their own Gi or two to camp, as you will likely be more comfortable in something you already know and like however, if you would like to purchase a Global Grappling Gi we will have one waiting for you at camp that you will be able to take home with you after camp. There will be laundry service available to ensure your Gi remains clean and ready for your next roll. 

We recommend bringing typical summer beach clothing, as well as a bathing suit (or two), a hat, clothes for horseback riding, and bringing sunscreen/bug spray. You will not need a plug adapter for charging various electronics and there is wifi at Hotel Pozas. Hotel Pozas will also provide towels for showering and sheets/blankets for sleeping. The water temperature is fairly warm so you will not need to bring a wetsuit. We will have some surfboards to borrow but you are more than welcome to bring your own as well.
