There's still no BJJ in Cuba, right? I know that when I went (2016), there was nothing and nobody had any leads on the BJJ Globetrotters group. There had been a guy briefly who ran something in Havana, but he'd left. Considering how close Cuba is to the US and all the Cuban-American BJJ black belts, I'm surprised nobody has jumped on that.

Nothing that could be easily found when I went a few years ago. Judo & wrestling yes, but I wasn't THAT eager to train, since only spent less than two weeks on the island. Dancing the better the option. :)

How many of you go on vacation and always find somewhere to train while on vacation, or do you completely shut down to recharge the batteries?

First off, what the hell is this 'vacation' that you speak of? Is it a Jiu Jitsu related thing? How's it pronounced? VAC-Action? Is it about sweeps? I travel between 100-200 days a year working at music festivals and concerts/events, and whenever I get a dark day, I'll always drop into a local gym to train. Running Newbreed for all those years, across the country gave me the luxury to meet a lot of gym owners, hell it's even gotten me some seminars at some gyms, which is always a bonus. I always travel with a gi because you never know. Funny story, I was working Austin City Limits in 2019, and the tour manager for Odezsa (who is a purple belt) was asking me about some leg lock entries, so there we are, onstage after their set, there are 30+ people onstage trying to break down their gear to pack the truck, and him and I are in the middle working on leg lock techniques. Anyways, I gotta look into that 'vacation' thing (is it Va-Kaaaa-tion?), and also this other thing people talk about... Sleep (apparently you just lay down and don't do shit for like 8 hours .. WILD)
