More than just a BJJ Festival

Join the UK’s most welcoming BJJ & lifestyle festival

Four days of training, connection, nature and community on the banks of the River Wye.

Train with world-class instructors, swim in the river, sit around the fire, listen to live music, share food and spend time with people who feel like old friends.

Whether you’re a black belt, a complete beginner, coming with your family, or simply looking for a weekend that feels a little more human, Jitzfest is a place to slow down, connect and enjoy what matters.

No ego.

No pressure.

No need to be anything other than yourself.

Just great people, great training and an unforgettable few days together.

Why people come back

People rarely talk about the techniques.

They talk about the conversations around the fire.

The friends they made.

The confidence their children found.

The feeling of belonging.

That’s what Jitzfest is really about.

This time we’re going to be based in Hay-on-Wye at the River Wye Activity Centre.

Bring your musical instruments and chilled out vibes for family friendly evening jams by the fire
