Train Jiu-Jitsu
in Costa Rica.

Anatol Poyer-Sleeman

Beautiful surroundings, great facilities, kind training partners and the opportunity to train with the all-time greats of BJJ. Hugely recommended. Update! I came back for a second retreat and still can't speak highly enough of what Ron and Hero have created here. The support is second to none and the atmosphere is fun and electric. I'll be back next year.

The best jiu jitsu vacation ever! Ron is such a fantastic host in every possible way. Everything was well organized in terms of schedule, itinerary, social, logistics and more! He also brings the best BJJ coaches in the world.

First time to a Hero BJJ seminar, blew away expectations. Tamarindo is a fun, diverse, beautiful and tasty town and an incredible place to have an academy. Ron and his team have a huge kids class that trains free of charge!

This retreat will definitely be one of the most memorable moments in my BJJ journey. The hospitality at Hero is absolute and genuine. The instruction was world class. The new friendships I trust will be enduring.

This is my second time down here to a Hero BJJ Retreat, and again, it did not disappoint. Ron Jarman is the best retreat host hands down. Great instruction, great people, amazing food in Tamarindo.

If you're on the fence Hero BJJ Retreats. Don't be. Just do it! Incredible experience from start to finish. A pleasure learning from GOAT Xande Ribeiro, and Ron was an amazing host.

Hero Academy is such an amazing place to train. The camps they put on are top-notch, full of fun activities on top of the Jiu-Jitsu, and they also offer great instruction.

This was an amazing experience! Open air gym in paradise! I was here for Roy Dean who is absolutely amazing. The highlight of the experience was getting to work with the Hero kids.

Just finished my 3rd camp this year at hero and my 4th visit this year. Never disappoints. This trip was the Dan Hart Charity seminar. Good group, good jiujitsu, good location all for a good cause.

One of the best trips ever. Ron and his team were the best hosts. Anything we needed they were able to accommodate. Great recommendations for activities and food and shopping. We will be back for sure!

Meagan Begley

This is the 3rd time we have come out for a camp at Hero and won't be our last! It's a great facility with a great cause behind it. Ron always makes sure everything runs smoothly from airport pickups to hotel rooms.
