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


Goodbye India

I am sitting in Mumbai airport, on my way to Malaysia. When I was trying to figure out where to go on my trip, I was looking for places that I knew nothing about. India was one of these. I found a confusing website with a few photos of some guys grappling. It seemed to be the only gym in India (that had a website at least). I sent them an email, and here I am. Five days and so many good experiences later, on my way to the next adventure.

I wonder how many of these undiscovered places and friends exists out there?

The guys here are working hard to put the Indian flag on the MMA map of the world. There is a lot of talent, and with these few passionate people doing what they do now, the potential of this place is unlimited. I am honored to have been able to give them a little push in the right direction with the experience I have and can share.

Every place, I have visited up until now, I have had a different role. In India, it turned out to be focus on positional foundation and training program planning for competition.

What will be next?

    Seems like it wasn’t as horrible as some people told you was it? ;)

    Got any plan B to avoid Japan?

    Hmmm… No around-the-world burger project… Just as I suspected.
