Review:

Finally in London, and I felt somewhat overwhelmed in which gyms to (re)visit! I had a DJ gig which is the only reason I came in to London rather than carry on West. So, I opted to visit the gyms of past coaches/professors and the first one I managed to make work after a spot of bouldering was Consistency.

Diogo was the head coach at Guild (my main home gym for a couple of years after Lockdown) and awarded me my third stripe on my blue belt and my purple belt. He’s since opened his own gym and has a healthy community of adult and child students.

Visiting felt like coming home as I recognised probably 80% of the students who moved over with him as the location worked better for them.

Since February 2024 I’ve been travelling around Europe visiting BJJ gyms first-hand so I can build a network of like-minded badasses, experience new countries, cultures and most importantly BJJ gyms, their coaches, students and communities. Whilst my travels are mostly funded by my freelancing work as an audio editor on podcasts and audiobooks, I’ve also been kept afloat by donations.

If you can, and are able to, helping out with a small donation always adds up and helps in keeping on The Path to more gyms and bringing all of that back home to Kenya. You can also check out a full post on how I got to this journey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/just-shiggi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
