| Our week long camp in Arizona has quickly become a staple for the BJJ Globetrotters community in the United States. Come enjoy the desert air, BBQ, and some proper frontier rolls with us!
There’s a huge Globetrotters community in North America, and this is really turning out to be an ideal gathering point for them. If you’ve ever been eager to try one of our camps, but haven’t been able to due to the time or distance involved, this could be the one for you.
Consider it your gateway to the Globetrotters camp experience! | | Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu Academy is a dedicated professional BJJ and MMA gym, with a huge mat space that we’ll have all to ourselves during the camp. We’ll also have full access to all the weights and fitness equipment.
We’re going to put the gym to proper use as the bustling social center of the camp, so regardless of whether you’re looking for rolls, new friends, or sizzling BBQ – you’ll find it right here.
We’ll also have an extra, separate mat space available for all-day open mat, drilling, stretching, etc. | | 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 10-20 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.
Basically, there’ll be more training and input than you can possibly handle over the course of the camp, so make sure to bring your notepad! | | Off the mats, we’ll be holding a series of workshops taught by a selection of instructors and highly knowledgeable camp attendees. These will all take place in the camp venue. Generally they focus on Jiu Jitsu and sport-related topics, but we’ve also had presentations on things like First Aid, getting ideas and making stuff happen, and beer brewing – basically anything cool that we think might be interesting! | | If you want to head out into Tempe, AZ itself, there’s a great selection of bars and clubs as befits such a bustling university town. And if you happen to have more time on your hands, grab a car and head out for a day trip of hiking / biking / rafting in the Sonoran Desert, or further on to the Grand Canyon – a 3.5 hour drive away. | | We’re going to hold BBQs in the gym’s backyard and we’ve got plenty more stuff like that in the works too. Our goal is that you’ll never have to go too far from the gym into order to find your next best friend or new cherished travel memory! | | | | * Welcome meeting and first training will be Monday afternoon * * Daily classes and open mats from morning to evening * * Last class will be Saturday afternoon/evening, then final open mat and barbecue * | | |
