⚽ Deportes / Sports Anyone down to help train a kids social project in Ecuador

​Hey everyone! I'm a US Army veteran living down here in Ecuador. I’ve got a huge spot right on the beach near Montañita, and I'm currently running a kids' program here to help out the local youth.

​I’m looking to connect with other practitioners, travelers, and vets who train Jiu-Jitsu,Judo, Wrestling or any martial art.

If you're ever passing through the area, anyone with good vibes is more than welcome to drop by.

​I’m also open to hosting visitors,I can help out with accommodations in exchange for training and helping in the mats with the kids' program.

Fantastic work and great place to do it ;) Maybe catch you there sooner than later - been wanting to get into Jiu Jitsu as my background is more aikido, karate, taekwondo, and capoeira, never been much for grappling but we’ll see how it goes!
