Summary
Come and Enjoy a Taste of Paradise!
This camp offers you an alternative grappling holiday like no other.
Join us at our secluded venue on the north-east coast of the Isle of Wight, where you can train and unwind in equal measure.
Enjoy the peace and quiet of the ancient oak woodlands and feel your stresses melt away.
With private access to the beautiful Wootton Creek, you can swim right from the pontoon, or soak up the Isle of Wight sun on the beach, which is just five minutes walk away.
We put great emphasis on fantastic food, so your training sessions will be well fuelled, and all dietary requirements are catered for.
After a day of learning and making new friends who share your passion, there's nothing quite like winding down with a swim and a fire on the beach.
Our mission is always to facilitate an unforgettable experience, and we consider your down-time as much as your training: with boat rides, water sports, beach parties, chasing sunsets around the island, and more.

Nestled in amongst an old oak woodland, your accommodation sits between the trees of a peaceful orchard.
Our on-site chefs amaze and delight in equal measure, with evening meals by candlelight at the communal banquet table.
In addition to the beach, which is just five minutes walk away, you have a private route to Wootton Creek where you can chill, swim, or sit around the fire pit in the moonlight.
