The sodope Camp Story
Since 2017, sodope has been an integral part of the Checkmat Zadar BJJ Summer Camp, bringing the global jiu-jitsu community together in Croatia. What began as a vision has now become one of the most valued jiu-jitsu experiences in Europe. This unique experience not only unites the global jiu-jitsu community, but also creates deep friendships and a genuine passion for the sport. In parallel, sodope also organizes ADCC Europe tournaments in Zadar—both events continue to run successfully.
