I have been on many JiuJistu destination training trips over the past 15 years, and many of them have been amazing. But I am being 100% honest and straightforward when I say that @grapplersescape is hands down the best “jiujitsu” vacation experience you will ever be a part of. The community, commeraderie, fun, learning and training together with 150 “BJJ” friends from all over the world, combined with the unbeatable level of professionalism from the GE team (which is often lacking in the laid-back Jiu Jitsu world, let’s be honest!)…I’m telling ou guys, it is on ANOTHER LEVEL. No pics or videos do it justice…but just take my word for it and sign up for the next one. I have!

“This was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. While my head is still reeling from all of the knowledge shared, I feel I walked off the boat a little better at jiu-jitsu than when I walked on. Thank you to all of the sparring partners I got to train/practice/roll with, none of the amazing instruction we received would have set in without your help!”
“What an awesome vacation I had! Met great people, learned a dizzying amount of Jiujitsu, and reconnected with a crew of dedicated martial artists. Hard to put into words how much this trip meant to me. Thank you for making Grappler’s Escape such a treasure! Can’t wait for next year!”
“It is expensive, but I had never been on a cruise before in my life and Mackenzie Dern was teaching along with Leo Vieira and Marcus Buchecha and I thought of it as my graduation present to myself since it was right after I finished my masters. I was dedicated to going and U get to make 3 separate payments so it’s not overwhelming. And food was included the entire trip. Even some free alcohol on the grapplers Escape hosts.
I will say yes expensive but the funnest and most incredible vacation I’ve ever had, and the new bjj friends I made and pictures I got! It was worth every penny. I’m going to save so that I can do it again in 2019. Some of the Grapplers go every year!”
