Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your journey, training Muay Thai or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in Costa Rica—specifically at Jungle’s Edge in Nosara—offers a unique, high-quality, and transformative experience.

Here’s why Jungle’s Edge is the ideal destination for martial arts training in paradise.

At Jungle’s Edge, we don’t just offer martial arts—we specialize in it. Our Muay Thai and BJJ programs are led by highly skilled, internationally experienced instructors who are passionate about sharing their knowledge with students of all levels.

Each class is designed to push your limits while keeping things accessible, fun, and inclusive. You'll train alongside beginners, advanced practitioners, and even visiting athletes from around the world—all drawn to the same high standard we maintain here in the jungle.

🌿 Train in the Heart of Nature: Our Open-Air Dojo & Jungle Gym

There’s nothing quite like rolling or striking in an open-air dojo, surrounded by the sounds of nature—the call of howler monkeys, the rustle of palm trees, and the fresh ocean breeze drifting through. This immersive environment creates a unique atmosphere that combines intensity and serenity, helping you stay focused and energized.

In addition to our professional-grade dojo, Jungle’s Edge features a jungle gym designed for functional strength training and conditioning. Whether you're doing pad work, drilling takedowns, or flowing through calisthenics, our facilities support a complete training lifestyle.

We also offer open mat sessions, giving you time and space to practice techniques, spar with other students, or simply enjoy the freedom of movement without the pressure of a structured class.

🍍 A Holistic Approach: Fuel, Rest, and Recovery

We believe that great training doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s part of a larger lifestyle. At Jungle’s Edge, you’ll experience that holistic approach in everything we do.

  • Our on-site restaurant serves organic, locally-sourced meals that cater to a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and protein-rich options perfect for athletes.

  • We have eco-friendly accommodations ranging from private luxury to affordable shared rooms, all designed with comfort and rest in mind.

  • Amenities like a top-hill pool, cold plunge, and fire pit help guests relax, recover, and connect with others.
