Grappler’s Escape is a premier cruise and land based vacation experience for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu enthusiasts of all levels, their friends and families. It provides the perfect platform for traveling to fun new places, train with world-class instructors, and vacation alone or with your friends and family all at once. Aside from the BJJ bootcamp/seminar aspect of the trip, Grappler’s Escape also offers all the amenities and activities of a traditional cruise or resort: excursions, Island touring, beach time, diving and snorkeling, as well as all the on-campus fun you can have.
“This past Grapplers Escape (2024) was nothing shy of spectacular. One thing about the Jiu Jitsu community is that it encompasses a wide array of amazing people...this cruise camp did not disappoint. Bonds were strengthened, friendships were formed and skills were acquired from four INCREDIBLE World Champions. If you roll or not, I truly encourage you to experience it for yourself. I will definitely be back for next’ years 10th anniversary!”
