Past Retreats:
Rafael Lovato Jr's Timeless BJJ & Surf Retreat
Join us as we reflect on an unforgettable experience from this past January, when Rafael Lavato Jr. graced our first Surfside Grappler Getaways retreat in stunning Playa Venao, Panama. The perfect balance of intimate training sessions amidst the serene tropical backdrop, with the exhilarating thrill of surfing, created a truly unique atmosphere. The insights gained during this retreat were not just transformative for our grappling skills but life-changing! The relationships and friendships formed here are profound and meaningful. They create deep, intimate bonds that enrich our community and make our experiences special. We can't wait to welcome Professor Lovato for another incredible experience in the future!
Ffion Davies No-Gi JJ & Surf Retreat
We just wrapped up an incredible week at the Surfside Grappler Getaways retreat in Playa Venao, Panama, and what a transformative experience it was! A dedicated group of grapplers and surfers gathered at Beach Break Hotel for intense training, ocean adventure, and community connection.
We sharpened skills, learned new techniques, and got some rolls in with one of the sport’s best.
Off the mats, we soaked up the stunning tropical setting, hitting Playa Venao’s perfect waves, sharing laughs, delicious meals, and building lasting friendships. The energy and camaraderie throughout the week were nothing short of unforgettable.
A huge thank-you to Ffion Davies for your depth of knowledge, passion for the art, and positive spirit that elevated this retreat to something truly special. We’re incredibly grateful for the time you spent with our community and the inspiration you brought to every session.
