WELCOME

Together with more than 200 Jiu Jitsu enthusiasts, we’ll will spend a week together in the forest with more training and activities than you can possibly handle.

We take care of absolutely everything – food, accommodation, laundry, and Jiu Jitsu. All you need to do is show up and get in your gi or shorts!

LOCATION

Camp Manitou is a purpose-built facility right in the midst of the Maine wilderness, featuring a selection of comfortable, rustic cabins and more than enough matspace to accommodate more than 200 eager and friendly grapplers from all around the world. Nestled between towering trees and a serenely sparkling lake, it’s the perfect location for a full week of relaxing in pristine nature and training Jiu Jitsu from sunrise till sunset with high-level instructors and a bunch of new friends. Even with its secluded and private location, it’s very easily accessible – roughly an hour’s drive from Portland, Maine.

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU TRAINING

We’ll be running classes (both gi and no-gi) every day from morning to evening, all taught by a variety of highly experienced instructors who bring their own perspective on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, sometimes incorporating concepts from other grappling arts such as wrestling, judo, and luta livre. We’ll also schedule frequent open mat sessions at which you can roll, drill technique, or just chat with the instructors and pick their brains. It’s entirely normal to see 20-30 black belts sitting around during open mat, chatting with everyone, answering questions, and swapping ideas and experiences. You frequently hear instructors say that even if they weren’t here to teach, they’d still come just to participate in the uniquely helpful environment of learning and sharing.

BEGINNERS WELCOME!

BJJ Globetrotters is built on a foundation of treating everyone equally, both on and off the mats. We understand that signing up for a week-long training camp as a beginner in the sport can be a very intimidating thought. People often ask us if they are even allowed to join as beginners or if they would somehow be a burden to the instructors or other participants. However, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. We are most happy to have beginners of all levels join us, both for the training and social aspects of the camps.

ACCOMMODATION

The main accommodation for the camp will be the cosy wooden cabins right beside the lake. Each one enjoys a beautiful view out into the surrounding nature, so you’ll be in the perfect setting to unwind in between training sessions. If you’d prefer a little extra privacy, we also have a limited number of single rooms, double rooms and private houses available at extra cost.

FOOD

Food is included in the cost of the camp, and will be served three times a day in the onsite canteen. We offer a wide variety of hearty, nutritious food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and assorted snacks will be available throughout the day as well.
