About this retreat

Train together. Travel together.

Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu built his game on pressure, movement and the tornado guard, and won the 2013 ADCC absolute title with it. This week is that game taught in person: a No-Gi Intensive at Jungle's Edge with two sessions a day on the open-air mat, minutes from Playa Guiones.

Mornings are technique and drilling with Cyborg — takedowns, guard retention, leg entanglements, passing under pressure — followed by positional and live rounds. Afternoons are yours: surf, the cold plunge, the pool, or a nap in the jungle. Evenings you eat together and talk jiu-jitsu with a man who has spent twenty years at the top of the sport. Open to anyone; you don't need to train at Fight Sports to come.
