February 25–March 1 | Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi
A small-group training experience with one of the greatest to ever step on the mat.

Train with intention. Learn from the source.
This four-day experience brings you into a focused, small-group environment with Marcelo Garcia in Hawaiʻi - his home, his academy, and the place where he now teaches with clarity, depth, and care.

This is an experience built around what matters: real mat time, thoughtful instruction, and shared moments that give space for connection and learning.

Spots are limited to preserve the quality of the instruction & experience.
