Real Camper Feedback
WHAT OUR CAMPERS SAY!
“Great people. Great food. Great environment and I learnt.
One of our favourites
“Well orchestrated and flowed well. Really enjoyed the welcome rolls on the first morning, shaking hands with people then talking our way through a roll like Oli described was great. I got to know about five or six people that I hadn't seen before, which really developed the relationships into the weekend.”
Camper feedback · Autumn Camp 2026Why Grounded Grappling?
Serious Jiu-Jitsu.
Not A Serious Weekend.
We care about the technical standard without turning camp into a three-day seminar marathon. Come to every class. Skip one for a nap. Stay for open mat. Sit around the fire. It is your weekend.
Food is part of camp
Big breakfasts, proper lunches and dinners people talk about afterwards.
No weird hierarchy
White belt, black belt, first camp or sixth camp. Just be a good human.
Room to breathe
Open mats, downtime, campfires, families, coffee and enough space to enjoy the weekend.
A Weekend At GG
This is roughly what it looks like.

Oli is the Head Coach at Absolute MMA Collingwood and a black belt under Lachlan Giles. He is exceptionally good at seeing the small decision two or three steps before the obvious mistake, then explaining the fix in a way you can take straight back onto the mat.

Who Is Behind This?
Oli + Graeme
Oli Smith
Head Coach at Absolute MMA Collingwood, black belt under Lachlan Giles and the technical brain of Grounded Grappling. Oli handles the coaching side and somehow manages to explain difficult jiu-jitsu without making it sound difficult.

Camp organiser, BJJ tragic and resident food obsessive. Graeme handles the logistics, catering and hundreds of small details that make the weekend feel more like a proper camp and less like sleeping near a seminar.
