One Mission Retreats

Train Together.
Travel Together.

Training at One Mission does not always stop at the gym door. Our team retreats give members the chance to travel together, experience different training environments and build memories with the people they share the mats with every week.

The idea

More Than a Training Camp

A One Mission retreat is about more than getting extra rounds in.

It is a chance to step outside the normal weekly routine, train somewhere different and spend proper time with the people you already share the gym with.

Members travel as a group, train as a group and experience the trip together.

Depending on the destination, a retreat can combine structured martial arts training with time to explore, relax and enjoy the experience outside the gym.

Past retreat

One Mission in Thailand

Thailand gave the One Mission team the opportunity to step outside the usual training week and immerse themselves in one of the world's most established combat-sports cultures.

Members travelled together, trained together and experienced the trip as one group.

The retreat combined serious martial arts training with the opportunity to enjoy the destination and spend time together away from home.

This is exactly what the One Mission retreat concept is about: training hard, experiencing something different and doing it with the same people you share the gym with back in Reading.

Why it matters

The Gym Is More Than the Building

The classes matter. The coaching matters. The rounds matter.

But one of the things that makes a good martial arts gym special is the team around you.

Training trips give members the chance to take that team somewhere completely different — to train, learn, travel and experience something together that goes far beyond another evening session.
