Scramblog What is Leglock Camp?
We were recently at Scramble Academy Spain in Malaga, where the Polish boys Kamil Wilk and Mateusz Szczecinski laid on yet another of their legendary Leglock Camps. Hosted by Santeri Lilius at his gym, the camp featured Kamil, Pawel Javorski and Jozef Chen teaching (Mateusz was nursing an injury and coming off a recent surgery.) Leglock Camp has solidified itself as the premier place to work on your leglocks and nogi grappling worldwide, hosting events in every corner of the globe every month.
But Leglock Camp did not start like this – it started as a simple gathering of talent in Poland, but now, Leglock Camp is a worldwide phenomenon where beginners and pro grapplers alike meet up and train. On any given camp you could be sharing the mats with ADCC champions, Polaris Champions, UFC / MMA superstars, or just some random bloke from Ireland who will buggy choke you twice in a row (this definitely didn’t happen to me.)

If you’re serious about modern no-gi grappling, especially the leg lock game, Leglock Camp is one of the best investments you can make in your training. Founded by ADCC / Polaris veterans Kamil Wilk and Mateusz Szczeciński, the camp delivers a deep dive into the systems that dominate today’s submission grappling scene – inside sankaku, heel hooks, 50/50, shotgun ankle locks, false reap and all the connective transitions in between.
With past camps hosted in Spain, Amsterdam, Finland, Thailand, Tokyo, Leglock Camp has built a bit of a cult following. People travel from all over for it – and it’s not just the training that brings them in. The atmosphere is focused but chill, the level is high without being elitist, and the post-training downtime usually involves good food, local culture, and a few beers. Very high level training and intense rounds but none of the attitude.
The Tokyo Leglock Camp in particular was developed with help from us here at Scramble – part of our ongoing effort to support quality jiu jitsu experiences around the world, especially in Japan where our roots run deep. We’ve been involved in the Japan grappling scene for over a decade now, so helping bring something like this to Tokyo was a no-brainer.
Each camp typically runs over 3 days, with multiple technical sessions led by Kamil, Mateusz, and guest instructors like Santeri Lilius or Jozef Chen. The focus is tight – no sprawling holiday camp vibes – just structured, high-level teaching in a format that lets you absorb and apply what you’ve learned.
In between sessions, you’ve got time to explore the local area. Whether it’s beaches and tapas in Malaga or izakayas and night walks in Shibuya, part of the draw is being able to train hard and still feel like you’re having a bit of an adventure.
For anyone who trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wants to level up their no-gi leg lock game, this is one of the best options out there. And for fans of Scramble BJJ gear, you’ll probably spot some rare pieces on the mats too – Leglock Camp and Scramble have always shared the same values: quality, progression, and keeping things just a little bit weird.
To find out when the next Leglock Camp is running – including future ones in Japan – head to their Instagram page and give them a follow. Early spots tend to go quick.
