The BJJ Intensive Camp in Lignano is one of my BJJ highlights that I look forward to every year.
Highly qualified coaches, a reasonably balanced schedule and a great community ensure progress and a lot of fun on and off the mats.
If you are looking for a great BJJ holiday, this is the place to be.

I have been attending these camps for well over a decade, dating back to the early camps organized by Michael Hocknius. Over the years, I have had the privilege of seeing the idea evolve and grow through the efforts of Martin Guggi, Renato Migliaccio, and many other friends and instructors who have helped shape what BJJ Intensive Camps are today.
What has always impressed me is how the camps keep getting better. Every detail is so thoughtfully organized that you can completely free your mind from everyday concerns and focus on what really matters: learning, training, and enjoying Jiu-Jitsu.
For me, these camps are much more than just a place to train. They are where I make some of my biggest leaps in skill, thanks to the outstanding workshops and world-class instruction. But just as importantly, they are where I reconnect with friends from all over Europe, strengthen old friendships, and build new ones.
Over the years, attending these camps has become a tradition not only for me, but also for many students of the Chris Eckert Academy. Every summer, it is one of the highlights of our year. No matter where the camps are held, I know I will find exceptional Jiu-Jitsu, great people, and the unique atmosphere that makes this community so special.

The camps are incredible. You can choose between many classes depending on your own level and personal interests.
I really enjoy meeting up with friends from different places to train, roll, and chat together.

Ich nehme seit mittlerweile über 10 Jahren am BJJ Intensive Camp teil. Damals habe ich als White Belt angefangen und die Camps waren von Anfang an die perfekte Ergänzung zu meinem regulären Training. Hier habe ich Antworten auf viele offene Fragen bekommen, technische Details verstanden und mein Jiu-Jitsu auf ein neues Level gebracht.
Was die Camps aber besonders macht, ist nicht nur das Training auf höchstem Niveau, sondern auch die Gemeinschaft. Über die Jahre sind viele Freundschaften entstanden, die bis heute bestehen. Jedes Camp fühlt sich an wie ein Wiedersehen mit der BJJ-Familie.
Ganz besonders freue ich mich jedes Jahr auf die Camps in Lignano und im wunderschönen Bayern. Die Kombination aus intensivem Training, großartoger Atmosphäre und tollen Menschen macht jedes Camp zu einem Highlight. Ich kann das BJJ Intensive Camp jedem empfehlen, der sich technisch weiterentwickelt und Teil einer einzigartigen Community werden möchte.

Das jährliche Lignano Camp ist für mich eine absolute Empfehlung für alle, die nicht nur trainieren, sondern auch ihr Wissen und ihre Fähigkeiten erweitern möchten. Die vier Tage sind vollgepackt mit wertvollem Input und neuen Perspektiven, die einen sowohl auf der Matte als auch persönlich weiterbringen.
Besonders bereichernd ist der Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten - sowohl auf der Matte als auch darüber hinaus. Das Camp bietet eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, neue Kontakte zu knüpfen, bestehende Freundschaften zu vertiefen und sich national wie international zu vernetzen.
Neben dem sportlichen Programm überzeugt auch die einzigartige Atmosphäre in Lignano; Sonne, Strand und Meer sorgen für die perfekte Ergänzung zum Training. Dadurch eignet sich das Camp nicht nur für Einzelpersonen, sondern auch hervorragend als Kurzurlaub für die gesamte Familie inkl. Kinder.
Insgesamt sind es vier rundum wertvolle Tage, die Fachlichkeit, Gemeinschaft und Urlaubsfeeling auf ideale Weise miteinander verbinden. Ich komme jedes Jahr mit neuen Erkenntnissen, vielen schönen Erinnerungen und großer Vorfreude auf das nächste Camp nach Hause. Cu you there hopefully folks
