Costa Rica BJJ Retreat

The Costa Rica BJJ Retreat is a week of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training, recovery and connection at Casas Kismet, a private, intimate retreat center in Nosara, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It is led by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor Rick Ellis and suits practitioners who want to train with a renowned instructor in a quiet, natural setting rather than a busy gym.

What to Expect

The week combines three things: training, recovery and time together. Rick Ellis leads the Jiu-Jitsu sessions, and the rest of the days leave room to rest and spend time with the other people on the retreat. Casas Kismet lists yoga and fitness among its offerings, and the retreat is part of a martial arts category of retreats hosted at the center, so the setting is built for a body-focused week away from the usual routine.

The Setting

Casas Kismet is a private retreat center in Nosara, a beach town in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica. The center describes itself as intimate, which suggests a small group rather than a crowded camp. Its offerings include rooms, yoga and fitness, cuisine, excursions and a chef's table with special dishes, so meals and time outside training are part of the stay. Nosara is also described by the center as part of Costa Rica's Blue Zone.
