Three of the UK’s most exciting experts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), will join forces this autumn for a dramatic crowd-pleaser supported by Sportshotels.com, the rapidly expanding, UK-based sports accommodation specialist.
The first-of-its-kind Autumn BJJ Camp, which will be a magnet for Jiu Jitsu and MMA fans from across the UK, will run from October 13 to 15 and will be buzzing with ideas and concepts to help practitioners hone their skills.
The two days of seminars and hands-on tuition will not only underline the principles of the Gentle Art, but will create a space and a camaraderie which will let fighters build new connections and spark lifelong friendships.
The excitement has been heightened by the announcement of the names of the three fantastic coaches who will lead the event hosted by Bridgewood Manor Hotel and Spa, a charming four-star destination venue in Kent. They are:
