Destination: Montpellier, France
One of my old training partners from my gym moved to southern France a while ago, and when I talked with him about my trip, he invited me to come down and stay with him for a while. He lives in Montpellier and I can take a train there from Paris, where I plan to start my trip, so I think this will be the first training destination for me.
Thomas trains in Arte Suave, which he tells me is a very good gym with great instructors and a relaxed but competitive environment. It sounds like a great place for me to start training and also, traveling around southern France for a bit to start things off doesn’t sound bad either. I might see if I can find other gyms around that area to visit while I am there.

If you’re going to be in France, you should check out the gyms I train at in Paris. You can train with ADCC competitor Nicolas Renier (nogi) or FILA world champion David Pierre-Louis (gi), or both!

Hey!
Thanks for your comment! I will only be in Paris for maybe five hours or so, while going from the airport to the train station.
Are you training in the daytime on mondays? :)
