BJJ in Ikaria
July, 2016BJJ, Surfing and Panagiria
Duration: 6 days, 7 nights
Island: Ikaria, GRC
Thanks to my swiss friends Dario and Georg that take me to this beautiful island in Greece.
Every year in July there is a BJJ and surf camp holden by local black belts.
One week of pure fun, BJJ, surfing and party.
Training
There are only two ways to get on the island, either by airplane or with the ferry.
We choose the faster and took the airplane.
At the island we had a small apartment in walking distance from the training place.
The schedule was every day nearly the same: In the morning if the conditions allowed it you could take surf lessons. The afternoon was reserved for BJJ training.
As soon the sun wasn`t shining so strong the class was about to start.
The training area were some mats on the beach. Everyday before training we had to clean the mats from the sand before the action began.
Each day another instructor was teaching a class all of them brown or black belts from Greece and Finland
Other stuff we did
In the afternoon or evening we always had the pleasure to go surfing or having surf lesions depending on the tide.
The Greek food is definitely in my top 10. There are so many different dishes you can get. I`m sure everybody finds something. And Ikaria has Panagiria…
