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


Destination: Cyprus

I was originally planning to go straight from Ankara, Turkey to Mumbai, India, but in the last minute, I was contacted by Selman from Cyprus, who invited me to come by and teach some classes there. He is a white belt, running the first and only BJJ training group in Cyprus, currently counting around 30 members. I think this is very cool and I would love to help them out with growing BJJ there, so I will go there for a few days before heading on to India.

Cyprus will be a very interesting place to visit and I am looking forward to see how far this group have gone in BJJ without much/any help from instructors. Just like I started myself :)

    Cool – I look forward to hearing about it. From what he said on Facebook, Selman has been attending seminars in various places, like the Brasa guys in Turkey, so it will be interesting to see how that has affected the group’s use of the Gracie Combatives program.
