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


Gi update!

I got my awesome globetrotter gi from Kauai Kimonos about a month ago and even though it has been love at first sight, the A3 size was a just a little too big for me. I could use it with no problems, but the size wasn’t 100% perfect.

Today I got a surprise as I, completely unexpected, received a brand new A2 size gi from Kauai, totally out of the blue. It fits me perfect and Jonathan (the owner of Kauai Kimonos) made it even cooler than the first one by adding a beautiful embroided “We Are All One” logo on the back of it plus throwing in a pile of personalized patches for me to pimp my gi’s with.

What a cool surprise and very nice of Jonathan to do that for me, thanks!!

    Whoa, that is VERY cool… Jonathan and Dustin are two of the nicest guys ever, I have been wearing Kauai ripstop gis for about a year now, and I LOVE THEM. I am sure you will too… :)

    How is this gi holding up so far? The addition of the backpatch gives off such a positive vibe.

    I don’t have much but I will look into supporting your project however I can. Thanks for sharing.
