BJJ Summer Week 2025 is right around the corner now and it now includes a unique opportunity to learn from some of the best European instructors and competitors around. The event will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the biggest training camp in the world and over 1,000 grapplers will be descending on the beautiful Italian island of Sardinia from September 17th to 21st. It already features some of the biggest legends of the sport and several elite competitors, but Europe is going to be particularly strongly represented. There are several veterans of the sport and even some of the leading figures in the growth of the sport in Europe, like UIJJ founder Dario Bacci.
There’s also another leading figure in Italy, Massimiliano Monaco, and one of the pioneers of elite Jiu-Jitsu in Ireland, Darragh O’Connaill. Alongside these three are two of the best competitors to ever emerge from their respective countries, Luca Anacoreta and Adam Wardzinski. Italian-born Anacoreta has won IBJJF open tournaments in a huge number of major cities around Europe, but his crowning achievements are a pair of gold medals at the IBJJF No Gi European Championship. Wardzinski needs no introduction at all of course, as he’s only Polish man to ever win a world title and earlier this year became the first European man to win an IBJJF Grand Slam.
The most recent addition to the list of European instructors at BJJ Summer Week 2025 is one of the biggest rising stars in the continent right now. Pawel Jaworski is one of the most fearsome leglockers in a country known for it’s elite leglocks in no gi competition, Poland. He’s been making a name for himself for a while but he really broke through last year, starting with an incredible run against several elite competitors at the Ocean BJJ Pro Championship 2024. He has continually had impressive performances against increasingly tough opposition and by the time BJJ Summer Week comes around, he will have just represented Europe in the CJI 2 lineup.
