The Grapple Travel Show ep.2 “Guildford Jiu Jitsu”

/in /by

Guildford Jiu Jitsu is such a cool gym, very progressive in their training methods and a lovely stylish space, well maintained by owner and Head Coach Jon Collins.

Had to make three separate visits to get all the footage I wanted but I love training there (and my Mum lives nearby), so I’m sure I’ll get back there again from time to time.

Actually used to live in Guildford back in my early to mid twenties and it really hasn’t changed a whole lot, except now I appreciate the surrounding countryside more than I did then. There also seems to be a healthy art and independent music scene now and of course Guildford Jiu Jitsu exists! Not that I was training Jiu Jitsu back then anyway.

Hope you enjoy watching the episode as much as I enjoyed making it.

Next up is Method BCN in Barcelona, which some of you recommended to me in the Members of BJJ Globetrotters FB group. Haven’t really properly started editing that episode yet but will soon.

If anyone reading this is following my posts and knows about my plans to live and travel full time in my one day fully converted old school bus, you can get a brief update on the build at the end of this episode.

Happy grappling & travelling!

Official Episode 1 now out – Wave BJJ (London)

/in /by

Hey there fellow Globetrotters 👋

The Grapple Travel Show is now fully in production and after publishing a kind of proof of concept pilot episode in the Summer, based on the gym I currently train at VT Jiu Jitsu, I’ve now published the official episode 1 of the show and it’s on a gym run by someone some of you may already know as he was a coach on a couple of early BJJ Globetrotter camps 😃

Lorenzo Fraquelli owns and runs Wave BJJ in West London. I already knew him having dropped in there years ago as a fresh blue belt and then we met again a few years later, when he visited my gym in Bangkok, Thailand.

He’s a super cool guy with an infectious laugh and his gym is very visitor friendly, so I highly recommend you drop by there if you’re in the area.

Please give this a watch and do all the helpful things to get the algo going, you know the drill 😉

I’m now working on the editing for episode 2: Guildford Jiu Jitsu and that one should be published in the next week or so.

Just returned from Barcelona where I filmed episode 3 at Method BCN, so I’ll get started on that edit soon.

Not yet sure which gym will feature in episode 4 but watch this space (or sub the channel) for updates and feel free to contact me with suggestions if you train at or visit a particularly visitor friendly gym.

Happy grappling & travelling!
