Mission of the project
THE FARM is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu project created by Founder and Coach Scott McGuigan. It is a project designed to enable others to practice and develop their self defence skills through the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a unique, natural and spacious environment. Situated in a hilltop country villa just outside the town of Manacor, THE FARM offers a unique setting for individuals wanting to start or continue their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey in Mallorca.
At THE FARM, we pride ourselves in the friendly atmosphere of the Gym, where anyone from any background will always be welcome through the door. We like to push the boundaries in every class, providing stimulating and challenging lessons for all our students. We spar competitively in every lesson as to make sure we stay sharp. We try to stay up to date with the latest techniques and developments in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to make sure our students get the best lessons possible. We also strive to improve our facility constantly, having recently installed a FUJI SMOOTH SERIES tatami in our gym.
We are also an offical member of the Balearic Grappling Federation and a Globetrotters Jiu Jitsu affiliated school, so drop in and have a go!
*THE FARM is a non-profit education association.
