Surrounded by stunning Atlantic beaches, surf culture, and the relaxed energy of Portugal\u2019s coastline, this immersive camp gives students of all levels the opportunity to elevate their Jiu-Jitsu while enjoying a unique summer experience.\r\n\r\nHosted at Crowne Plaza Caparica Lisbon by IHG, the camp combines world-class Jiu-Jitsu instruction with premium accommodation, wellness facilities, and a beachside location just minutes from Lisbon. The hotel features modern rooms, spa and recovery areas, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness facilities, and easy access to the beaches of Costa da Caparica.\r\n\r\nWhether you are preparing for competition, deepening your understanding of the art, or simply looking to train alongside the Gracie Barra family from across Europe and beyond, this camp offers a balanced experience of training, recovery, and connection.\r\n<h4><strong>A COMPLETE EXPERIENCE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nDesigned for adults, teens, and children, the programme brings together structured training and lifestyle activities in a great environment.\r\n\r\nAdults will take part in daily Jiu-Jitsu sessions including seminars, technical drilling, positional sparring, and open mats, supported by wellness sessions such as yoga and recovery work.\r\n\r\nChildren will benefit from dedicated BJJ classes and structured activities created to be engaging, safe, and age-appropriate, ensuring a positive experience throughout the week.

Training with partners from different schools and countries adds a new level of intensity and learning that accelerates progress.\r\n\r\nBeyond technical development, the camp naturally builds connection. Time spent training, recovering, and sharing the experience strengthens teamwork and reinforces the spirit of the Gracie Barra community.\r\n<h4><strong>ELITE INSTRUCTION FROM WORLD-CLASS PROFESSORS<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nParticipants will train under an exceptional team of instructors:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Pedro Marinho<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Braulio Estima<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Carlos Maia<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Victor Estima<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sula-Mae Lowenthal<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nEach professor brings a distinct background, technical approach, and high-level experience in both competition and teaching. Together, they offer a diverse and high-quality learning environment for all levels.\r\n\r\n<img class=\" wp-image-658\" src=\"http:\/\/graciebarra.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/226\/sites\/226\/2026\/05\/432KB-1-823x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"414\" height=\"515\" \/>\r\n<h4><strong>LIVING THE GRACIE BARRA VALUES<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nThis camp is built around the core values of Gracie Barra: discipline, respect, integrity, and brotherhood.

It offers the ideal setting to combine high-level training with recovery, nature, and downtime.\r\n\r\nOff the mats, participants can enjoy surfing, yoga sessions, beach activities, local cuisine, social events, and easy access to Lisbon\u2019s culture and nightlife.\r\n<h4><strong>ACCESSIBILITY &amp; GRACIE BARRA COMMITMENT<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nAt Gracie Barra, we work to make these experiences accessible to as many students as possible.
