đŸ•°ïž [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.

đŸ§Ÿ 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.

đŸ€Ż Impressions

Wherever you go, people are training hard.

And in every gym, you’ll find someone with crazy strength!

💡 What I Learned

I learned the basic Kimura movement with some great details from the coach.

đŸ€” 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.
