Our annual Memorial Day Camp is one of our most favorite camps of the year, as we exit our winter hibernation phase seeking fun & sun. This year’s camp is in beautiful Gatlinburg, TN. Join us for a weekend of luxury combined with top tier Jiu Jitsu training amidst excursions in the great outdoors.

Our accommodations are always over the top boasting large gathering spaces with beautiful views. The Jiu Jitsu training will be equal sessions of Gi and No Gi with more than enough opportunity to roll, drill, or chill. Local exploration and excursions will involve hiking, mountain coaster, outdoor gravity course (you have to see this!) white water rafting & shopping. The Theme of the camp is Belles, Boots & Belts. So come prepared, and proud, with your southern apparel.

Suggested Airport :

McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS)

Accommodations are luxury boasting large meeting & gathering spaces. Our homes are carefully chosen to accommodate the number of ladies in attendance. For example, we choose homes with more than enough showers/bathrooms to efficiently serve 20 women.

I had a great time connecting with new people, learning/doing jiu jitsu, and having fun! It was a great opportunity to grow in leadership and community. I wish there had been more time and ability to do all the workshops

Another amazing Grappling Getaways trip!!! April and Katie brought in absolutely incredible female instructors and organized fantastic breakout sessions. What they're doing for the female BJJ community can't be matched. I recently got promoted and was feeling a lot of self doubt and this trip and the connections i made with other women helped get me out of that funk and get refocused. This was my 2nd GG trip and I can't wait for the next!

My first grappling getaway, I felt like I was at a weekend away with my best girlfriends! The attention to detail that April & Katie put into this event was just astounding! Fun activities, planned outings, and stellar jui jitsu instruction, all set in an absolutely perfectly chosen getaway house, we had everything we needed and plenty of space to spread out. I can’t speak more highly of this entire experience- these ladies put on a top notch weekend I can’t wait to come back again!!!! LOVED THIS ADVENTURE ❤️❤️

This was my third trip with Grappling Getaways and they never fail to impress me. It was awesome to get together with like minded women to train, play, laugh and bond with. April and Katie provide excellent training as well as bringing in additional high end BBJ trainers. They are super creative with their themed getaways and attentive to people's needs. Grappling Getaways are never the same thing twice but always a fantastic vacation.

This was my first getaway and it won’t be my last. This trip, these people and this experience was something my soul needed. I made lifelong friends, learned some killer techniques while vacationing in paradise. I got solid life advice for things I’m struggling w in my own business. Seeing such strong, powerful women be so down to earth and welcoming and loving just makes feel so grateful I made the trip….. next trip will be Mexico. See you soon Coaches!!!!

Highly recommend!! I've attended 3 amazing Grappling Getaway camps so far (and plan on attending many more) and each time is unique and awesome! April and Katie are exceptional women who truly love what they do! I appreciate so much the time and effort they take to connect with female struggles both on and off the mats, makes these camps unmatchable. Their attention to every detail, coupled with their incredible ability to just go with the flow, makes being in their presence an authentic jiu jitsu experience. They create such a welcoming, fun, and empowering experience, where friendships are seeded and your jiu jitsu grows! If you're wanting to feel empowered by strong women with great attitudes and open minds, you should DEFINITELY get to a Grappling Getaway ASAP!

April, and the other instructors with Grappling Getaways are THE BEST. Top notch human beings who are amazing at jiu jitsu and amazing at teaching. I’ve been to 3 Grappling Getaways events, and each has been so much fun, so inviting, encouraging, and appropriately challenging for what was advertised. I’ve met so many incredible female leaders and role models through Grappling Getaways. HIGHLY recommended :)
