I don't know why but recently there has been quite a lot of activity on the BJJ NZ site. (www.bjj.co.nz) and I have had quite a few 'random' enquiries through the site. People in Wanganui, New Plymouth, Gisborne, Hamilton and far south all want someone to train with. I have also personally been contacted by 3 different people who want to attach themselves to our club or BJJ NZ.

Of course I'm more than happy to help where I can but the fact is that I have no time!! Here's an example. I go to work at 5.30am Mon to Fri, finish around 6 - 6.30pm (12 hrs) then pick up Dorothie from Aerobics and head home... Answer emails for 30mins and try and grab something to eat, then off to class at 7.30pm. Get home around 10 - 10.30pm and crash!!

Tuesday is a night off but I usually end up answering emails or updating sites. (www.gsw.net.nz) Same for Friday night. Saturday and Sunday are spent with Dorothie and doing house stuff till 3.30pm on Sunday then it off to class and home again at 6.00pm. End of week. Which means not enough time for other people or pursuits!

I would love to be like John and travel the country teaching BJJ to anyone who wanted to learn but it's not something I would give up my day job to do. There must be some answer and I hope that I can find it, as I think there a re a lot of people who want BJJ but cannot find anywhere to train.
