We recently hitched up our wagons and headed out west for our first taste of desert air, BBQ, and some proper frontier rolls. It went so well that we knew we had to do it all over again as soon as possible!

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!

Tempe, AZ is part of the Phoenix metropolitan area, and as such is easily reachable from almost anywhere in the US. The camp venue is, in fact, only a 15-minute drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).

Tempe itself is home to Arizona State University (ASU) and a host of cutting-edge tech companies working on everything from biotech to solar power, so the population is young and energetic and there’s a vibrant nightlife. It’s also right in the middle of the 100,000 sq mi Sonoran Desert, so there’s excellent hiking and biking to be had, and no end of scenic drives.

We’re kicking the camp off on Wednesday and finishing up with an Open Mat on Sunday morning, so you’ll be able to fly in, spend a few days training/meeting new people/discovering new beers, and still be back home by Sunday night. No need to take too many vacation days off ;-)

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!

CONFIRMED INSTRUCTORS

CONFIRMED VIRTUAL INSTRUCTORS

A few of our usual instructors are not able to make it due to the pandemic and travel restrictions. Camp wouldn’t be the same without them, so instead, they’ll be conducting a few little virtual classes / Q&A sessions with them on a big screen during the week.
