My Globetrotter Journal

Unfortunately, I didn't start tracking schools until I went to California. At some point someone asked me how many total schools I had been to and I was like well gosh I really don't know. After which I sat down and totaled them all up and then started tracking them. So the earlier ones might be a bit out of sequence and some of them have changed names over the years.

I am truly grateful to everyone that welcomed me in for training! I think that the general openness of Jiu-Jitsu is a such a wonderful part of it.
