We are going to visit our master Johnny Gui, train with the nine9 krew and attend the Behring seminar. I hope 1 month of training with the Brazilians will improve my game.

It has been a great experience. My wife and I have learned Portuguese, made some lifelong friends and now have a half-Brazilian baby. Life in Brazil can be really great. You just need to keep your wits about you... It's not Epcot. If you are thinking of transitioning there for more than a week. You can ask me stuff. I'm not an expert, but just a foreigner that has been through some of the hassles and red-tape that "faz parte" of the experience. We wouldn't have traded our time here for anything.

Great cities!! , the people are very warm and nice and we still have many friends in both places, In all these years we didn't have any problems with anybody. As long as you keep your eyes open, respect people and don't show off all the goods you have, if you have some , (especially in Brazil) it should be ok. So don't hesitate and go for it, to train in these places will change and improve your BJJ so much that it is worth the trip....

Brazil strikes me as a little scary (though I'm sure the US has its fair share of crime too). Still, would be cool to train in Brazil if I was out there with a big group or something. Would definitely help with my paranoia. ;) At the moment, I’m more excited about the prospect of visiting the US to train BJJ.
