In the middle of the Denmark you find Odense.

Danish, quiet, and nice city.

Quiet? Yes, not totally crazy like Copenhagen, much less expensive and very pleasant :)

I liked walking on the streets of Odense. Small houses, history and all.

It's the place of birth of the author Hans Christian Andersen, who created "The little mermaid" and so on... But Odense has also the church with the last viking king bones : Knut.

City of history, lovely city !

I also trained there. in ODENSE BUSHIDO KLUB :D

Small academy and we worked on the mount escape.
My opinion is : I definitely don't train enough escapes !

Thanks for this training that reminded me how much this aspect is important! ;)

Btw it was my first training 100% in danish ! God xD

København : One month trip

København, already the 14th city of my trip. I'm on the road since 1 month !

What about 1 month ?

I'm alone most of the time and feel alone.

It's not so easy actually, but i knew that when i started.

But i'm lucky, my girlfriend already came twice, and in Copenhagen two friends of mine came to train and visit in the same time ! :D

Honestly it helps a lot, helps to continue and motivates me !

Copenhagen is a cute city, people are nice... but god.. so expensive !

I was looking for a couchsurfing ... but even after tens request and negative answer for few reasons (in the same time they had a car race on the city so a lot of people were already busy) i took an hostel for 2 nights... In which I spent the same money than booking for 10 days in Germany!

I passed two days in Copenhagen and at the moment i'm in a small town not far from Korsør, on the Danish island call Seeland.

Why an hostel? Because the prices in Copenhagen for this week end were crazy, the weather awful for camping, and now i can visit a bit the lands!

The capital has a lot of bikes, what a mess to drive! Looks like Amsterdam from this point of view !

We visited the city, saw a round tower made by a (probably drunk) architect, the cute harbour, royal guard, bikes, the little mermaid, bikes, churches and .. bikes

We trained in CSA.dk and met the creator of BJJ Globetrotters : Christian Graugart

He is a very friendly and very nice guy, but also a really good professor as i saw.

I did just one lesson on BJJ plus open mat in GI and NO GI

The level here is... how to say, incredibly stronger than the previous academies. I mean, in all academies you have guys with a real good skills, but not just that. Usually you have every kind of level, from begginer to expert. But there, i felt like on the judo lesson in Torino, High level. Nothing to add.

Of course the people here are very open minded, i mean, it's the CG's gym, so I guess they have a lot of different guests daily.

I really want to come back there. for all of these reasons !

And god... the place is just amazing, a huuuuuuuuge (i mean HUGE) sport complex, you can find almost every kind of sport there, unbelievable !

If you can go there, dude, just go !

Next step : Odense :)
