This nature lover's paradise is located beside the Little Piney river in the depths of a forest. Sitting in the middle of the Ozarks, you will experience the quiet and peace of the countryside.

The Jiu-Jitsu Outlet Academy is a dedicated training space equipped to help transform you into a martial arts ninja. With 1,100 square feet of mat space, you will have all the room you need to get some rolls in with friends or learn a new technique.
We will be using the academy area as the main hub for Jiu-Jitsu superfights and open mat time throughout the day.
We will begin the Jamboree with a Jiu-Jitsu open mat at 10am on May 25th, 2026.
There will be open mats throughout the day along with featured Jiu Jitsu matches, a tricking seminar, a Jiu Jitsu superfight, and giveaways at the top of each hour.
Here's a photo from one of our seminars when we featured Heath Pedigo and his crew:

Charlie Grenhart - Special Guest Coach!
Co-Founder, Colorado Tricking
Charlie is one of the people who built martial arts tricking into what it is today and he's known as one of the best acrobatics coaches in the world.
Tricking is martial arts meets gymnastics. Flips, kicks, aerial combos. It looks impossible until someone shows you how.
You're going to leave with a basic at-home training plan, straight from a world class coach so you can incorporate this into your martial arts training.
BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!
Swimming

Swimming

Throughout the day, feel free to take a jump in the Little Piney river to cool off and swim however long you want.
The Ozarks features some of the cleanest and clearest river water in the world. Also, you will be amazed at the wildlife you might see while there...
We have seen otters, beavers, bald eagles, owls, massive stags, catfish, and lots more while hanging out at the river!
Camping

Camping
_______________________
Want to stay the night and camp out with your friends or family?
You will be able to do so at no extra charge!
Spaces will be "first come first serve" and you will need to bring all your own camping equipment.
There are amazing camping spots available overlooking the river or somewhere in the forest... You could even sleep in a hammock or crash on the mats inside of the academy.
This will be an awesome experience if you love hanging out under the stars and making new friends or bonding with old ones around a campfire.
Food

Food

We are coordinating with a local taco food truck "Show Me Good Food" to cater the event.
Food will be roughly $15-20 per person, per meal that you want. For example, if you want lunch and dinner this will be about $30 for one person - depending on exactly what you order.
You are welcome to bring outside food and drinks but we will not have a fridge available for your stuff so plan accordingly.
You are welcome to bring your own camping stove and whatever you want to help you prepare food, just like if you were going to a campground or music festival.
You are encouraged to bring a dish to share for night time around the fire, if you would like. We will have some snacks and refreshments available.

This event will raise money for the Harmony Haven Collective - Harmony Haven is a non profit we are starting in Missouri to run live events and athletic programs at low cost that bring new activities to rural communities like the ones we live in here in Missouri.
Our plan is to start the first Martial Arts Tricking program here in the Ozarks and introduce this fast growing martial art to the area so that way kids can learn how to be ninja acrobats in a fun and supportive environment.
All proceeds from the event will go to funding this mission!
