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


The official (and experimental) globetrotter competition gi is ready!

I already have the super light weight black gi from Kauai Kimonos and now I have the second one, which is cotton so I can use it in competitions.

It is an experimental model from Kauai not on the market yet, so I will give it a thorough test by taking it around the world to tons of different gyms. The material is quite different from anything I have ever seen before, and takes some time to get used to, but I am getting there and like it more and more. The material is super light and takes up very little space in my backpack (some more than my black ripstop though). It also dries really quickly, which is an important thing to me while traveling.

I have been waiting for some patches to pimp it up before I posted about it here, but now it is finished and I took some photos of it. Also got a Scramble patch that I sew on the pants of my black gi. Looks sweet!

    You need to get the guys at Scramble to make that patch. That is a kickass patch.
