About this trip

- Jiu-Jitsu Training and Teaching from various female Brown/Black Belts

- Exploration of Salem, MA (Shopping, site seeing, museum)

Accommodations

Our campers will stay in a luxurious airbnb, yes all under the same roof! We feel magically teleported back to our childhood for what is certain to be the BEST sleepover you have ever attended! Mats are typically set up on premise, or closely nearby.  This gives our campers access to training, stretching or rolling whenever their hearts desire, outside of our scheduled training times. 


All campers will share a room, and some instances a bed.  Please be sure to list a friend you would like to be roomed or bunked with when registering.  


Please know, a majority of the time you have your own bed, but read below to ensure this in the event this is a necessity for you. 


If you require your own bed there is an option as an add-on, limited spaces.

This trip exceeded my expectations! Everyone was wonderful and made sure most everything was taken care of. It was an amazing group of like minded people. The training was great and I learned a lot and all the excursions were fun.

This was by far my favorite Grappling Getaways to date! I always get so much out of the instruction and love making new friends, seeing old friends and traveling to new places! Great accommodations and optional planned activities!
By Brittany W for Boutique Barbie Jiu Jitsu Camp on Feb 26, 2024
I had an absolute blast learning top tier technique from some of the greatest female jiu jitsu athletes in one of the coolest houses! The organizers brought their energy and enthusiasm to ensure that everyone had a great time and it was very apparent that they put a lot of effort into making the whole weekend a success. If you’re thinking about doing one of these camps come ready to rap about your name or this talented crew will help you on the fly. If you love jiu jitsu and you have a good attitude, you’re sure to love Grappling Getaways! 🫶

This weekend was everything I needed and a little bit more! I was really looking forward to training BJJ all weekend as I can't get as many in when I am home. I was so excited that the weekend was exactly that and so much more. The laughs, the learning, the creativity, the energy, and the uniqueness of all the people there made this whole weekend unforgettable, I can not wait to attend another. April and Katie are not only our experts in BJJ but they are also extremely thoughtful, creative, and such beautiful humans overall. Every night we had something to do (or not) that engaged everyone, brought folks together and allowed everyone to show their own individuality. Yoga was such a beautiful added thing for us to do! I am super grateful for this experience and all the people I met - I returned home super inspired and motivated!

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 :)
