Between August 17 and 24, a project that our team had long wished to undertake finally became a reality in Brazil.

It was a training camp with a very clear objective: to learn what we could improve and, more importantly, how we could improve what we are doing in our dojo.

However, more than learning new movements and training with renowned names in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, our team had the opportunity to experience several of the particularities of Brazilian culture. Among them, two things that always leave a lasting impression on anyone who visits the Land of the Holy Cross: its cuisine and the warmth of its people.

Every training session was followed by lunch. And at every lunch, we were introduced to a new dish, whether a main course or a dessert. All of this was accompanied by that wonderful feeling of sharing a meal surrounded by your best friends—even if you had met them less than an hour before.

And to top it all off, what could be more splendid than our professor Barri’s surprise promotion?

We will be posting some photos and videos from our time in Brazil here, but if you truly want to know what it feels like to take part in a training camp in Brazil, join us on our next trip.

Entre os dias 17 e 24 de agosto, deu-se no Brasil um projeto que há muito nossa equipe desejava realizar.

Tratava-se de um camp de treinamento, e o seu objetivo era bem claro: saber o que e como melhorar aquilo que estamos fazendo em nosso dojô.

Porém, mais do que aprender novos movimentos e treinar com nomes renomados do jiu-jitsu, nossa equipe pôde ter contato com várias particularidades do povo brasileiro, dentre elas, duas que sempre marcam a memória de quem visita a Terra de Santa Cruz: a culinária e o acolhimento do povo.

Todo final de treino era seguido de um almoço. E, em cada almoço, era-nos apresentado um novo prato (fosse ele principal ou sobremesa). Tudo isso somado àquela sensação de comer estando cercado de seus melhores amigos (mesmo que os tenhamos conhecido há menos de uma hora).

E, para finalizar, nada mais esplêndido do que a graduação surpresa de nosso professor Barri.

Postaremos aqui algumas fotos e vídeos de nossa estadia no Brasil, mas, se você realmente quer saber como é a sensação de fazer um camp de treinamento no Brasil, junte-se a nós na próxima viagem.
