The only place where you can train with the legendary Royce Gracie over 6-days at the breathtaking 5* Aphrodite Hills Resort in Cyprus!
Our exclusive 6 day training camp with legendary Royce Gracie offers martial arts enthusiasts—and anyone interested in learning self-defense—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to train and grow while enjoying an unforgettable wellness-focused holiday.
Each day, guests can engage in 3-5 hours of training and seminars with Royce Gracie, guided by our world-class team of instructors. These sessions, both practical and theoretical, are crafted to inspire personal breakthroughs.
Attendees will also benefit from Royce’s invaluable insights in a series of seminars covering psychology, longevity, diet, motivation, and even video analysis of key fights—all in an engaging group setting.
Complementing the martial arts experience, daily SOHA wellness activities such as yoga, meditation, breathwork, and sunset sound baths are offered to elevate physical, mental, and emotional well-being. These expertly facilitated wellness activities are optional yet designed to maximize the transformative impact of your stay, allowing you to bring new strength into all areas of life.
With an individual 1:1 coaching session with Royce also included, along with numerous photo opportunities, this extraordinary experience is sure to be memorable from start to finish.
This camp is uniquely designed to ensure any accompanying family or partners, i.e. those not participating in martial arts sessions, can also immerse themselves in a rejuvenating vacation. For family and friends, there is no shortage of additional recreation activities—from golf and tennis to horseback riding—to suit personal preferences (some activities may require additional fees).

SOHA Retreats are setting a whole new standard! Not only in the quality of the retreat, but also in the quality of the trainers. Royce Gracie is still the number one MMA legend today and the unique experience of being able to train with him for several days in a row was like being back in the early days of California. You should take advantage of this opportunity because it will shape you forever.
The greatest thing about it has been the atmosphere, we've had a great group of people. The organisation and the way it's been run has been fantastic. The involvement of Royce (Gracie) all the way through, he's not been step-in step-out, he's been part of the journey... has been absolutely fantastic.
I can definitely recommend it to anyone else. The whole SOHA crew are such warm-hearted people. It's worth it to be there, to join them and live the experience.
It's been something different to your normal trip away. The time with Royce has been great, I didn't expect how humble and how involved he'd be. I've obviously learned a lot from that. I recommend it to a lot of people.
