TopBJJ Kids No-Gi Performance Camp

No-Gi Road to Europeans

This is not a regular training camp. Over 6 weeks, serious young BJJ athletes train through a structured no-gi program with live sessions, technical themes, positional sparring, tactical development, video recaps, and personal feedback.

The TopBJJ Kids No-Gi Performance Camp is a premium performance environment for serious young BJJ athletes who want to train at a higher level, challenge themselves, and prepare with purpose.

This no-gi edition is primarily led by Victor Diniz together with Absolao Perez, supported by high-level black belts, elite competitors, and experienced coaches. The camp focuses on technical precision, competition-level intensity, and long-term athlete development.

This camp is for motivated athletes who compete actively, want more than standard training, and are ready to work with new training partners, different styles, and higher expectations.

What athletes receive

Athletes take part in a 6-week no-gi performance program with up to 12 live training sessions across 6 weekends.

Each session has a clear technical theme and is designed to build toward real competition execution. The goal is not only to learn techniques, but to understand when to use them, how to apply them under pressure, and how to connect them into a stronger competition game.

In total, athletes can receive up to 48 hours of high-level training.

Compared to the previous edition, this camp has a higher training intensity, more personal attention, and a stronger feedback structure between training weekends. Athletes are expected to show up focused, work seriously, and take ownership of their development.

Competition-focused training

Competition-focused training

The training focuses on the details that matter in real matches. Every session is built to help athletes understand, apply, and repeat techniques under realistic pressure.

Athletes will work through:

technical precision

high-level drilling

positional sparring

live rounds

tactical decision-making

mindset and intensity

control under pressure

pace and timing

Every training weekend connects technical learning with realistic resistance, so athletes can turn knowledge into performance.

Technical learning line

Each training week has a central theme

The camp is built as a progressive learning line where every session connects to the next. Themes are taught step by step, tested under resistance, and then linked to real competition situations.

The technical themes include:

guard retention

passing systems

takedowns

back attacks

wrestling integration

match strategy

This structure helps athletes build a stronger no-gi game instead of only learning separate techniques.

Recap and instruction videos

After each training weekend, athletes receive clear recap videos with technical explanations, key details, core concepts, and home-training focus points.

This helps athletes stay connected to the camp between weekends and gives them a clear structure for repetition and improvement.

Personal video review

Each weekend, every athlete can submit up to 2 videos of up to 5 minutes, connected to the theme of the weekend they attended.

The video review is designed to give athletes more personal feedback and a concrete improvement focus.

  • Personalized video feedback within 1 week.
  • Technical attention points.
  • A clear improvement focus.
  • Guidance connected to the camp themes.
  • Input that supports targeted repetition.

The reviews are not meant as general coaching, full game analysis, or a replacement for the athlete's own trainer or academy. They are meant to strengthen the camp learning line and help athletes improve with more direction.

International training environment

Athletes train with different teams, different styles, and new training partners.

This is an important part of the camp. Serious competitors need to learn how to perform outside their comfort zone. Training only with familiar teammates can limit growth.

The goal is to prepare athletes for stronger competition environments and help them become more adaptable on the mat.

Competition mentality

This camp is built around a serious but healthy competitive culture. Athletes are expected to bring discipline, focus, consistency, and effort.

The environment is demanding, but the purpose is development. We want athletes to learn how to train hard, stay controlled under pressure, and grow with the right mindset.

focus
consistency
control under pressure
healthy competitive culture
long-term athlete development

The focus is not short-term results only. The bigger goal is long-term athlete development.

Who is this for?

This camp is for motivated young BJJ athletes who compete actively, want a higher challenge, are serious about improving, and are open to training outside their own team.

  • Want to prepare for no-gi competition.
  • Can handle a more intense training environment.
  • Are ready to receive feedback and apply it.

This is not a beginner camp and not a casual activity.

Positioning

The TopBJJ Kids No-Gi Performance Camp is an elite supplement to the athlete's regular academy training.

It is not a replacement for the athlete's own academy, head coach, or team. Instead, it gives motivated athletes access to a regional and international performance environment where they can train with more intensity, more variety, and more competition focus.

The camp exists to support serious young athletes in becoming sharper, stronger, and better prepared for high-level no-gi competition.

We follow ADCC rules and IBJJF rules as the base for sparring, takedowns, and wrestling situations. Rule references: ADCC rules and IBJJF rules.
