Event description

Australian Grapplers Retreat is a weekend getaway for grapplers, nestled in the beautiful natural environment of Serpentine forest. This unique and immersive program has been designed based upon insights from ancient wisdom traditions and modern sports psychology to create the optimum environment for martial artists to learn, grow, and create meaningful connections. Our vision is centered upon the idea of balance - of body and mind, of movement and stillness, of activity and recovery, and of the self with nature. 

In addition to the technical and rigorous physical aspects of BJJ training, we aim to facilitate recovery and longevity through mindful movement, mobility drills, and gentle stretching. We also acknowledge the crucial and often overlooked importance of mindset, mindful awareness, and the mind-body connection in learning, performance, and overall well-being. We engage in a variety of practices to  encourage the integration of mindfulness and a healthy mindset into training and everyday life.

We offer: 

  • 6 hours of technical bjj instruction with black belt coach Brodie Sprlyan 
  • Multiple daily guided meditation practices to foster mindfulness and relaxation
  • Morning and evening guided mobility and stretching sessions to improve recovery, mobility, and freedom of movement on the mat 
  • Two guided open mat sessions to put the skills you will acquire into action 
  • Mindset coaching and guided visualization to help you get the most out of your training 
  • 3 healthy home cooked meals per day 
  • Dormitory Accommodation (shared dorm rooms with one room mate)
  • Coffee, tea, and snacks 
  • Free time to explore the beautiful forest and get know your fellow martial artists
  • An optional hike to and swim in the beautiful Serpentine Falls 

Come and join us at the beautiful Serpentine Retreat Center and take your training to a new level! 

*We recommend that you have a minimum 6 months BJJ training, are fit and able to participate in vigorous physical activity.
