Adam Wardzinski headlines a Grappler's Retreat camp in Mendocino, California on November 16, 2026. Grappler's Retreat brings elite black belts to the Mendocino coast for multi-day immersive training away from a typical gym setting, and this installment features one of European BJJ's most decorated modern competitors. Adam Wardzinski is a Polish heavyweight black belt under Alan "Finfou" do Nascimento who became the first Polish grappler to win an IBJJF World title and the first European competitor to complete the IBJJF Grand Slam (European, Brazilian Nationals, Pan American, and World gold in the same year), a feat he achieved in 2025 before retiring from competition at the 2025 IBJJF Worlds. His experience competing at the highest levels of gi jiu-jitsu makes this retreat a strong fit for competitors and serious hobbyists looking to sharpen their top game; specific gi/no-gi format and pricing for this date have not been published, so check the Grappler's Retreat listing for current details.
