About the Project
Chamchi is more than just a gym; it’s a riverside hub where martial arts, music, and community meet.
We are looking for dedicated volunteers who are passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Muay Thai.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or have a burning desire to start your journey on the mats, we want people who are ready to train hard and contribute to our unique environment.
When we aren't on the mats, we are a social space—a riverside bar and jam space where we relax and connect.
The Role
To keep our community running smoothly and our training environment safe, we need help with the daily flow of the gym. We value discipline and attention to detail.
Daily Responsibilities:
Morning Prep: 7:30 AM mat setup to get the gym ready for the day.
Daily Maintenance: Light cleaning shifts at 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM to keep the space pristine.
Sunday Deep Clean: One day a week, we all pitch in for a thorough reset of the facility.
What’s In It For You?
In exchange for your help in maintaining the space, we provide a full immersion into our lifestyle:
Free Training: Full access to our BJJ and Muay Thai sessions.
Accommodation: Stay on-site and wake up to a beautiful riverside view every day.
Authentic Meals: We provide daily meals consisting of fresh rice, fish, and pork.
The Vibe: Access to our jam space and bar—perfect for unwinding after a tough day of rolling.
Performance Perks: For those who go above and beyond in their training and help, extra perks are available based on performance.
Requirements
Must train BJJ: You must be an active practitioner or have a very strong commitment to learning.
Disciplined: High standards for cleanliness and punctuality.
Social: Ready to engage with the community and enjoy the riverside lifestyle.
Ready to roll? Send us a message telling us about your BJJ journey and why you want to join the crew!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
