    10 reviews for Jiutopia BJJ Camp – The Summer Edition

    1. Sportes

      Teachers are at the top. But please prefer an hotel outside of the camp if you don’t want to have a very bad surprise with your “room”, the “beds” and the breakfast.

    2. zuriel

      I was on the Jiutopia’s winter camp recently, and it was amazing. The camp had amazing instructors, providing a perfect mix of advanced and beginner classes that catered to all.

      A really cool place set the stage for a magical experience.

      The highlight, however, was the incredible community. It’s really accommodating, and we had people 50+ and as young as 17, all from different walks of like but with a common hobby.

      As a beginner, I felt embraced and learned a lot, leaving with lasting friendships and a wish to return.

    3. Edward

      Life time experience 😉

    4. Venia

      Amazing experience. I learn more and more every time.
      Great combination of training and holidays.

    5. Aneliya

      It’s an experience everyone needs to try regardless if they practise BJJ or not. I attended two Jiutopia Camps in 2024 with my husband and my son, both of which train BJJ. My guys had a blast during both camps with all the master classes, which I also found very interesting to watch, even if I don’t do martial arts myself. I was amazed by the organisation, the venues and the community. I felt at home with all those incredible teachers and participants. So, I highly recommend everyone to visit Jiutopia because it’s truly worth it. You meet new friends from around the world while enjoying the fabulous Greek weather, beaches, food and hospitality. Thank you, Jiutopia for the unforgettable experiences. I can’t wait to visit again this year.

    6. Filippos
