By a martial art student, for a martial art student.
We put the ART back in your martial art camp.
Real martial art training camps and programs, almost anywhere in the world: kung fu, karate, ninjutsu, jiu-jitsu, kali, krabi krabong and more. Every fact is read from the camp's own site, and every button goes straight to the camp. No middleman, no paid listings.
How to read a listing
- Yes. The camp's own site says so.
- No. The camp's own site says not.
- Not checked yet. We do not guess.

Next to be checked: silat in Malaysia, bokator in Cambodia, Vietnam, Taiwan, karate dojos in Okinawa, and more of Europe. A country gets a page here once its camps have been checked, not before.
Training in Thailand
Sticks and staffs in an open hall with the trees outside, a class on a wooden floor, the beach after. These are from Rick Tew's own dojo in Lamai on Koh Samui, not from a listed camp.
Why people go
A routine that sticks
Training twice a day with food and sleep around it does what a gym at home rarely does.
Travel with a reason
You see a country from inside a camp, with people who live there, not from a tour bus.
A real break
Two weeks or more away from normal life, with something good to focus on.
New people
You train, eat and rest with people from everywhere who came for the same thing.
A skill you keep
You leave knowing an art in your body that you did not know when you landed.
A coach for the mind too
Some instructors coach focus, goals and life as well as technique.
Read from the camp itself
Each fact comes from the camp's own site, with the sentence kept as proof and the month it was read.
No middleman
We do not sell packages or take a cut. The button on every listing goes to the camp's own site.
Free, and said plainly
No camp pays to be here. The people behind this guide run one camp, HI Ninja, and it is marked as theirs.
