THE LEGENDS SERIES PRESENTS
TIMELESS JIU-JITSU BY RAFAEL LOVATO JR.
AT BUDOKON MONTANA - August 14 - 19, 2026
THE TIMELESS JIU-JITSU + BDK LONGEVITY CAMP DESCRIPTION
A mentorship immersion for combat athletes who want a game and a body that lasts a lifetime.
Mindset. Movement. Longevity — a complete performance reset.
Led by undefeated professional MMA fighter and multi-time Jiu-Jitsu Grand Slam champion Rafael Lovato Jr.—the first American to win both Gi and No-Gi world titles, with the most ADCC finals appearances of any U.S. grappler—and his long-time movement coach, Budokon University founder Cameron Shayne, the camp delivers elite grappling knowledge paired with proven longevity training methods.
This camp represents the intersection of their practices — where movement philosophy, combat structure, and longevity principles have shaped each other over years of shared study.
You are stepping into a real exchange between disciplines
Budokon is the architecture that allows a combat athlete to train hard without breaking down. Cameron’s decades of work in movement arts, martial arts, and philosophy bring a deeper layer.
For Budokon practitioners, this is a rare opportunity to see how movement integrates directly into high-level jiu-jitsu performance.
For grapplers, it’s exposure to a system that protects and evolves your body long term.
YOUR HEAD COACH — RAFAEL LOVATO JR.
At 42, Lovato Jr. continues to dominate against the world’s best after 25 years in professional combat sports. Participants will train directly with him and Cameron, gaining insight into the exact techniques, mindset, strength, mobility, nutrition, and recovery protocols that have kept him at the highest level for decades.
THE SETTING
Limited to only 25 participants, this 6-day experience (including arrival and departure days) places you in an intimate setting on our private land in Montana to train, eat, connect, and learn alongside these legends.
You will build a rock-solid foundation in technique, physical resilience, and movement intelligence that transforms your Jiu-Jitsu and extends your athletic career.
Imagine — wide open land, clean air, silence, space to drop in, reflect, refine and an exclusive group of only 25 participants who seek to create excellence and longevity in their lives.
You train together
You grow together.
You recover together.
You build lasting relationships.
Beginners need not be intimidated! This camp is NOT a fight training camp but rather an educational retreat experience for anyone inspired to learn world champion systems of mind and movement.

tHE BUDOKON COMBAT CONDITIONING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (optional)
The Budokon Mobility For Combat Athletes Certification is the perfect way to begin your martial arts journey or advance your existing one in a fully integrated and sustainable manner. The Budokon Mobility For Combat Athletes Coach understands joints and how to construct, deconstruct, progress, regress and relate over 50 movement patterns to Jiu-Jitsu and Grappling, as well as the science of breath, stretching, and recovery as it applies to grapplers, wrestlers, and strikers.
Budokon Mobility For Combat Athletes Certified Coaches will learn to lead warmups and cool downs, breath work, guide fundamental nutrition protocol and teach signature Budokon Mobility and Budokon Yoga sequencing. First and foremost the Coach understands joints and how the placement and arrangement of joints in combat conditions informs their joints longevity. This is exceptionally important for combat athletes whose joints are at greatest risk from the variety of ranges and positions their anatomy requires to fight. Our focus for this course is to develop a more complete combat athlete and coach by outlining and exploring the transitions that support, compliment and improve movement within the combat container.
Our focus for this program is to develop full functional range in a combat athlete by outlining and exploring the transitions that support, compliment and improve movement within this container.

* It offers an exclusive and unique understanding of how you live and show up in life across ALL 9 Personality Types
* You will be able to identify with clarity of heart and mind your patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving
* If offers an opportunity to understand the relationship between movement and how your patterns are stored in the body
* With courage, curiosity, and grace have a method to explore and integrate life more fully

You will be asked to write your personal reflections on it. While in Montana, you can schedule your individual reading and coaching to understand your results and how to integrate the insights into your life.
FAQ
I STILL HAVE A JOB AND RESPONSIBILITIES BACK HOME - CAN I MAKE CALLS AND IS THERE WIFI ON SITE?
Yes, we have an open wifi network for our students to use at the guest house. Remember that we live in a remote rural area and that the wifi speed behaves accordingly. Make sure to schedule necessary appointments so it does not conflict with the training hours. Mornings before training, during the brunch break or at night after training would be the best time frames for that. Always check in and confirm timings with Melayne prior booking anything. There is no cellular service, however you can enable wifi-calling.
WHAT ABOUT PERSONAL CARE?
Making conscious choices in all aspects of our lives is key to us. We exclusively use natural solutions derived from plants and ask you to be considerate of our way of life and join the mission for a greener more conscious planet! Make sure that the toiletries you bring reflect our mission! We also provide body wash and shampoo.
COMMUNAL LIVING = TEAM WORK
You will join this experience as a tribe member - we train, study, cook, eat, clean, play and sleep together. Community, team work and contribution are an essential part of your experience at Budokon Montana.
ARE WE REALLY TRAINING ALL DAY?
Pretty much yes. The day officially begins at 8am. Training usually starts at 9am and ends at 9pm, if not agreed on and communicated differently. We start the day with a 30min zen meditation practice. The rest of the day is a combination of physical and mental training, personal and partner exercises, group classes and lots of rolling. We will also take time to truly connect and be in nature, garden, hike, and enjoy other fun outdoor activities. Budokon is a Mixed Movement Arts System, and during your stay we will train in all our modalities: Jiu-Jitsu, stand up striking, Calisthenics, Crawling Patterns, BDK Yoga and BDK Mobility.
