Charles Gracie leads a training retreat at Grappler's Retreat on the Mendocino coast in Northern California beginning September 22, 2026. Gracie is a member of the famed Gracie family and a black belt with decades of teaching experience, running the Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy and its affiliated schools with an emphasis on traditional, fundamentals-based jiu-jitsu. Grappler's Retreat hosts small-group, multi-day camps on the Mendocino coast with a capped number of attendees, giving students extended time with a single instructor rather than a single seminar session. Given Gracie's traditional lineage and teaching approach, the retreat should suit practitioners across a range of levels who want to build a stronger fundamentals base directly from a member of the Gracie family — check the Grappler's Retreat site for lodging, pricing, and exact schedule.
