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


Brazil

Anyone with recommendations for Brazil? :)

This blog post have been a long time under way. I am finally reaching Brazil, the birthplace of the sport I have traveled the world on for four months, trained for more than ten years and has been making a living of for six.

I don’t really have any plans for Brazil yet. I don’t know where to go or where to train, so I need your help! :)

I have a few options already, but I want to keep all possibilities open, so if anyone of you readers have connections or recommendations for where to go, train or what to do in Brazil, please email me or leave a comment on this post.

I would love to train as many places as possible, but I am also quite limited financially. This is the end of my trip and I am pretty much running out of money, so I can’t afford to pay a lot of money for training each place (just had to buy a $2000 one way ticket from Brazil to Europe today, oh shit that hurt :D). I prefer to wash the mats or perform a magic show or something for training, but I know things work differently in Brazil. Of course, every place I go will also get some exposure on my 2000-gringo-readers-a-day amazing BJJ blog if that helps anything.

Besides that, if anyone is in Brazil and want to meet up for training, surfing or maybe one (1) beer, feel free to contact me, I am up for anything.

I will be staying with my friends in Connection Rio, which is a really cool house for foreigners who are going to Rio for training. I don’t know for how long yet, maybe I will move around in Brazil a bit, maybe I will stay in Rio for two weeks before I head to Europe. Will look into that when I get there and have an overview of my options :)
