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


Once again, the sad feeling of leaving!!

Once again, I find myself sitting in an airport with a strange feeling of being happy and sad at the same time. Medellín here in Colombia was such a good experience. What an amazingly beautiful place, one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. I made so many friends here in just four days, and I am sad to leave them already.

In an hour, I fly to Ecuador. I didn’t really ever think about going there until I talked to some guys in Panama who recommended it. I have gotten a few emails from people who invited me to some very interesting places, so I made a quick decision to skip a weekend in Rio de Janeiro, and spend a full week in Ecuador instead. I don’t know what to expect from it, but statistically it can only turn out to be absolutely amazing, like every other place I have visited.

It will also be visit to gym number 50 on the trip!

    Medellin the best city you’ve ever visited? No way man.. I thought it was a pretty bland and generic city.

    I didn’t say it was the best, I said it was beautiful and I had a great time with the people there :)
