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


Last day in Panama, squeezed in training at Gracie Barra.

In a few hours, I am going to the airport to fly to Medellin, Colombia. I got an invitation to go train with the local Gracia Barra gym here, so I just managed to squeeze in their afternoon class in my schedule today.

I was really tired from last nights hard and sweaty training, so it took me a while to get up in gear. We did isolation drills and sparring, which suited me fine. I didn’t have much mental energy for technique training today anyways :)

Had some good rounds with solid brown and purple belts. Felt tired and my knee hurt a little bit, but managed to do all rounds but one.

That concluded four days in Panama with visits to four gyms. It has been interesting to be here, despite I have spent most of the time sleeping or being in gyms :D

Next stop Colombia and from there, I go to Ecuador on monday. I might go straight to Brazil from Ecuador, but I am also tempted to go to Cusco in Peru on the way if I can find the right flight tickets. I’ll make a decision last minute as always ;)
