[Tay’sTravels&Trains(7)]Academia Sniper Lima Norte
🕰️ [Past Story]
My time in Riobamba was a great experience.
However, I realized that I didn’t have a stamp from the border between Colombia and Ecuador.
Because of that, I had to leave Riobamba earlier than I planned.
I finally sorted it out when I got to Lima, Peru.
In Lima, I started searching for a BJJ gym in the northern part of the city.

🧾 About
Later on, I heard that the northern part of Lima can be dangerous.
But I needed to keep up my BJJ training for my upcoming competition.
The people at the gym were really welcoming.
One of the brothers there spoke English and helped me out a lot.
I also met some white belts with incredible strength — real beasts!
The gym wasn’t big or fancy, but as always, it was much better than having no place to train.
🤯 Impressions
Wherever you go, people are training hard.
And in every gym, you’ll find someone with crazy strength!
đź’ˇ What I Learned
I learned the basic Kimura movement with some great details from the coach.
🤔 Thoughts
I could handle the crazy strength on the ground, but standing with them wasn’t easy.
I should figure out an easier way to share my training videos with teammates.
I’m really glad I had the chance to train in the northern part of Lima.
