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


Cauliflower Chronicles

Just finished reading the book Cauliflower Chronicles about Marshal Carper, who went to live six months in Hilo, Hawaii, where he studied and trained at BJ Penn’s gym.

I found it pretty interesting and relevant to my own trip and it it only took me two days to get through it. I don’t normally read books, but maybe I should do it more, it was a nice break from computer, tv and iPhone. It also sparked my own interest in writing a book about my own trip. Could be a combination of travel stories and tips on training while traveling. If I should ever write a book about something, it would have to be on combining traveling and BJJ :D

Cauliflower Chronicles gave me some good inspiration and tips on training in Hawaii and I am looking forward to go there. I will probably hit the islands sometime late April or early may depending on how long my Asian adventure ends up taking.

I recommend anyone training BJJ to check out the book, it is only $11 or so on Amazon and they shipped it all the way to me in just a few days.
