The story of my trip around the world to train, teach and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other grappling arts.


Looking for BJJ gyms in Latin America

I have about two months left of my trip and is trying to figure out where to go. I like it here in the US, but I have been here several timed before, and it is not much different from the world I already know.

It is important to me on this trip to push myself to visit places, that I don’t know anything about. Places, that are different from what I have seen before.

I haven’t travelled much south of the United States. In fact, I have only been to Jamanica, Cuba and Mexico, so this is an area I would really like to spend some time in.

Brazil is an obvious destination for my trip, but where else can I go?

If you train anywhere in Latin America, or know someone who does, please feel free to contact me on graugart@gmail.com asap. Size of gym, level or location does not matter, I am interested in training or teaching any place I can. All I need is a gym, couch or floor to sleep on :)
