One Mission Retreats
Train Together.
Travel Together.
Fully facilitated martial arts and adventure retreats, open to everyone. We take the thinking and organisation out of the trip so you can focus on training, the destination and the experience — no One Mission membership required.
The idea
A Martial Arts Holiday, Fully Facilitated
Not just gym sessions abroad — the whole experience, organised.
A One Mission retreat is a chance to travel somewhere different, train seriously and still enjoy the destination — without spending weeks working out the logistics.
We organise the important parts: training arrangements, accommodation, transfers where they're part of the trip, group activities and support while you're away. You travel as part of a group, and every trip has its own character and itinerary.
Curious about the gym itself? See the classes or read about One Mission.

Martial arts retreat
Thailand
A martial arts holiday in one of the world's great combat-sports cultures.
Thailand is a martial arts destination like nowhere else. Our Thailand retreat is built as a martial arts-focused holiday — a chance to train seriously, immerse yourself in the culture and still properly enjoy where you are.
One Mission facilitates the important parts: training arrangements, carefully selected accommodation suited to the experience, and support throughout the trip. That leaves you free to focus on the training, the destination and the people you're travelling with.
You don't need to be a One Mission member, and you don't need to live in Reading. Guests travel as one group, train together and come home having experienced something genuinely different.

Adventure retreat
Morocco: Essaouira on Horseback
Adventure, horsemanship, brotherhood, faith and endurance on Morocco's Atlantic coast.
Morocco is a very different trip from Thailand. It's an adventure built around horsemanship, brotherhood, faith, endurance and culture, based in the coastal city of Essaouira.
Over roughly five days, the retreat includes around two days of horseback adventure and crash-course style riding tuition, alongside time to explore Essaouira and the surrounding area. It's a mental and physical challenge, shared as a group. Accommodation is intentionally more rugged and adventurous than a resort, chosen to suit the experience.
The retreat is designed around a Muslim brotherhood experience, and we want to be open about that. Days are shaped around an Islamic environment, including praying salah together — Fajr included — alongside shared time with other Muslim men. Anyone is welcome to enquire; we'd simply like you to know the kind of environment you'll be joining.
Approximately five days · Included
- Around two days of horseback adventure and riding tuition
- Accommodation suited to the experience
- Local transfers and logistics
- Local sightseeing and time in Essaouira
- A group experience with support throughout
Not included

Why it matters
More Than a Trip
Martial arts is a vehicle for personal development — and so is travel.
A retreat puts you somewhere unfamiliar, asks something of you physically and mentally, and surrounds you with people working through the same challenge.
That's what we want every guest to come home with: new experiences, new friendships and a bit more confidence than they left with.
“We take the thinking out of the trip, so you can focus on the experience.”

Every retreat is different — message us for anything specific.
No. One Mission retreats are open to everyone — you don't need to be a member and you don't need to live in Reading. Many guests come from outside the gym. Existing members don't get a discount, but they do get priority access: the first opportunity to book when a new trip is announced.
