🕰️ [Past Story]

On my journey from Canada to Brazil with BJJ,
I finally made it to Lima, Peru.
Through BJJ Globetrotters’ Matsurfing, I connected with Juan,
and got the chance to train at a gym in the southern part of Lima.

🧾 About

I met Claudia and Juan for the first time in Lima.

They had used BJJ Globetrotters while traveling and training in Asia before,

and thanks to that, we were able to connect through the platform this time
Getting from the northern part of Lima to the south wasn’t easy,
but it was worth the effort to experience one of Lima’s top-level gyms.

🤯 Impressions

The southern part of Lima felt completely different from the north.
Lab 266 was modern and well-equipped—
a bit on the fancy side, which isn’t usually my style,
but I appreciated the quality and vibe.

💡 What I Learned

  • Advanced setups for stand-up wrestling
  • What true pressure feels like from a high-level coach
  • The raw power of a tight kimura
  • That strong guys with good technique are a real challenge

🤔 Thoughts

I met a lot of great people through BJJ in Lima.
It’s clear BJJ is popular in Peru, and in some places, it’s even seen as a luxury sport.
Some gyms also run with very strict discipline.
