Hello. I'll be in Ilsan, near Seoul, around April for a year. I am a Purple belt in BJJ. I'm looking to make some friends beforehand. Is there any BJJ or grappling practioners in or around Ilsan or Seoul?? I have found John Frankl's school and a few others, but I was hoping to get in contact with some like minded people before I get there. I am also hoping to catch some Spirit MC shows in Seoul. Get a hold of me if you are interested.... |

That's pretty cool.
The highest I've been able to meet here is a Blue Belt.
Hey, can you move people up to Blue from White - or does it have to be a Black Belt? |
