JP TRAn PRIVATE CAMP
A rare learning experience with one of the most exciting athletes in jiu-jitsu
Recently held at Choice Jiu-Jitsu, the JP Tran Private Camp brought together some of the most prolific young athletes in New Zealand for a highly focused weekend of learning, refinement, and high-level exchange.
This was not a standard seminar.
It was a small, intentional training environment built around serious athletes, meaningful technical detail, and direct exposure to the kind of jiu-jitsu that is shaping the next generation of the sport.
A special moment for NZ jiu-jitsu
Events like this matter because they do more than deliver techniques.
They create perspective.
They show athletes, parents, and coaches what the wider standard looks like. They expose young competitors to the level of precision, discipline, and professionalism required to keep progressing in the sport. And they help bridge the gap between local development and international excellence.
The JP Tran Private Camp was a rare opportunity to bring that level of knowledge directly into our own community — not through social media clips or second-hand instruction, but through real time, on the mats, in the room.
about jp tran
JP Tran is widely recognised as one of the most exciting young competitors in modern jiu-jitsu. Known for his composure, technical precision, and maturity beyond his years, he represents the new standard of elite competitive grappling — where timing, structure, decision-making, and discipline all come together at a very high level.
What makes JP special is not just his success in competition, but the clarity of his jiu-jitsu. His style reflects the direction the sport is heading: efficient, intelligent, composed, and deeply technical.
For young athletes, learning from someone like JP is valuable not only because of what he can do, but because of how clearly it shows what is possible when talent is paired with serious training and purpose.
What made this event unique
What made this camp truly special was the room itself.
Hosted at Choice Jiu-Jitsu, this private camp gathered a select group of some of the most promising young athletes in the country. The level of attention, intent, and energy in the room created a learning environment that was hard to replicate in a normal seminar format.
This was a camp where:
the group was intentionally limited
the athletes were serious, engaged, and highly capable
the pace and standard of the room allowed for deeper teaching
the material could be delivered in a way that respected the level of the participants
everyone present contributed to an atmosphere of genuine growth
When you place high-level instruction into a room full of hungry young athletes, something different happens. The details land differently. The questions are better. The learning becomes sharper. The room becomes more than just a class — it becomes a glimpse into what the future of New Zealand jiu-jitsu could look like.
