Salento Camp with Pedro Sauer

Salento Camp with Pedro Sauer runs in Porto Selvaggio, a coastal nature reserve area in Puglia, Italy, beginning September 2, 2026. Pedro Sauer is a black belt under Rickson Gracie and the founder of the international Pedro Sauer Association, known for teaching traditional, self-defense-oriented jiu-jitsu built on fundamentals rather than competition-specific rule sets. Held along the Salento coastline in Italy's heel, this camp gives European students and travelers a chance to train directly under Sauer without crossing the Atlantic. Expect multiple days of technical instruction rooted in his self-defense curriculum, suitable for grapplers of varying levels given the fundamentals-first approach — check the event listing or the Pedro Sauer Association for exact schedule, format, and registration.
