ABOUT THIS EVENT

Train gi and no-gi with Jeff Curran at Big Frog Nation’s 12th annual retreat in Cocoa Beach, February 4–7, 2027. Four days of instruction and open mats are balanced with pool and beach time, a Saturday beach party and an optional group dinner. The retreat is based at Beachside Hotel & Suites. Every registered attendee receives a custom rash guard and jersey. Attendance is capped to leave more mat space; the organizer says the cap is 20 lower than the previous year but does not publish a total. Jeff Curran is the named lead instructor; the rest of the black belt line-up will be announced closer to the retreat.
