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


Cooking skills impress fellow Danes, first gi training followed.

I decided to cook dinner for my hosts today. Unfortunately I ate too much of it, so getting up in gear in class was a little difficult tonight :)

I had been very sore in my body today after the hard training yesterday. Once I got warmed up I felt great though.

There we more people on the mat today. Florent, the own of the gym, and his twin brother Jean Claude was there, both brown belts. Apart from that, there was a few blue belts and white belts.

The sparring with the twins was really good. They are very friendly and technical and I recommend anyone coming by southern france to go train with them. Check out their website www.artesuave.fr!

    Hey, I was just catching up on what you’ve done since you left. Wow, that’s a lot. Thanks for the pictures of Toulouse. My mother’s family imigrated from there a few hundred years ago, and I’ve always wanted to see where they came from. I checked out the Arte Suave site. That means “Soft Art” correct? (My miniscule french is from when I was a toddler.) The school looks like a place I would like to train. Thanks for sharing. Oh, BTW, nice pics. What camera and equipment are you using?

    Thanks :) I am in Montpellier, no Touluse though :)

    Arte Suave is Portuguese for Gentle Art, which is English for Jiu Jitsu :)

    I am bringing my canon eos1000d and a handful of different lenses :)
