FAQs
Who can participate?
Everyone is welcome — it’s a mixed event. All martial arts and fitness levels are accepted. However, you must be 18 years or older.
I am a beginner. Can I still participate?
Everyone is welcome, but basic MMA experience is a good base.
Do I have to participate in sparring?
No, none of the items on the agenda are mandatory. You can take part in as many seminars, sparring sessions, or open mats as you like — but you don’t have to. If you prefer a bit more free time, you can relax by the lake or go hiking, for example.
What is the cancellation policy?
We can only accept a cancellation on your part if you have independently found a replacement to take your spot. For cancellations due to personal or health reasons, please take out travel cancellation insurance.
Can I reserve a room for me and my friends?
Of course. Either leave a note in the shopping cart when purchasing your ticket or send us an email (info@chinkilla.de), and we will make a note of it.
Is there a guarantee that the listed coaches will be there?
No, there is no guarantee, as many of our coaches are active fighters. If a competition takes place during the camp, we will make every effort to provide a suitable replacement.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes, it is possible to pay in installments via PayPal. Simply select PayPal as your payment method at checkout and, after logging in, click on the "Installments" option. The entire process is handled through PayPal, and we assume no liability.
I have a food allergy — will this be accommodated?
A few weeks before the camp, we send a form to all participants to collect information about allergies, injuries, etc. We do our best to accommodate your needs. If you have a very specific food intolerance that the on-site kitchen cannot cater to, we will contact you beforehand.
