I just started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for two months before coming to Toulouse. I fell in love with the sport and had to train while on a 2 month sabbatical, despite being a n00b white belt. I had an Airbnb in Les Carmes so I searched for places to train nearby. I was lucky to find Aranha Jiu Jitsu (only 15 minutes away via sauzelong stop of metro line B). I emailed Eric (via their website contact info) prior to my arrival and he replied a few days later, welcoming me with open arms. Aranha is the gym where many French and European champions currently train. It was my first time training jiu jitsu at a location other than my home gym- everyone was super friendly and got sweaty with me regardless (even though I did not speak a lick of French)! If you have a chance to train in Toulouse, train here! read more
