Vagner Rocha No-Gi Training Camp — Grappler's Retreat

Vagner Rocha's No-Gi Training Camp takes place at Grappler's Retreat on the Mendocino coast of Northern California on October 19, 2026. Rocha is a black belt under Pablo Popovitch and the founder of Vagner Rocha Martial Arts (VRMA) in South Florida, with a competition résumé that includes an ADCC medal, an IBJJF Pans title, and a run in the UFC as a professional MMA fighter. Grappler's Retreat hosts small, all-inclusive training camps on the redwood coast, pairing visiting instructors with private lodging and meals rather than a typical gym rental. This camp is billed as no-gi and open to all levels, so it suits everyone from newer grapplers wanting direct instruction from a UFC veteran to competitors preparing for no-gi tournaments. Rocha's background spans both sport jiu-jitsu and MMA, and his camps typically blend positional control and submission concepts with the live, high-pace rolling style that defined his competitive career.
