Gym Name: Tenerife Submission Grappling
Location: Adeje town – Tenerife, Spain

Review:
Still excitedly enjoying the great weather of Tenerife, the hostel vibes and even getting a few gym sessions in near by. I extended my stay as I didn’t realise how much I actually needed to just breathe for a moment or 10!
Life’s been pretty heavy for a while and when all you know is to just “keep on swimming”, you forget that it’s also good to tread water or stand up every now and then!
Random road trip adventures, meandering coastal walks to “Hippie Beach” and the delightful contrast of baking on the sand whilst looking at the snow cap of Mt. Teide aside, my friend Judith invited me to another grappling gym. This is a group within a bigger fitness gym concept, so classes were held within the schedule of the space.
It was easy enough to get to by bus though I got a lift then experienced 2pm busses (or didn’t!).
I’m still getting a hang of this reviewing so bear with me as I figure out what kind of format I want to get into. As ever if you feel it’s a bit thin on the ground, my longer written offering with photos are in the bluuurb link below.

Hey, thanks for being here! If you want a more flavourful review of this gym, full write ups will be making their way up onto justshiggi.com
Since February 2024 I’ve been travelling around Europe visiting BJJ gyms first-hand so I can build a network of like-minded badasses, experience new countries, cultures and most importantly BJJ gyms, their coaches, students and communities. Whilst my travels are mostly funded by my freelancing work as an audio editor on podcasts and audiobooks, I’ve also been kept afloat by donations.
If you can, and are able to, helping out with a small donation always adds up and helps in keeping on The Path to more gyms and bringing all of that back home to Kenya. You can also check out a full post on how I got to this journey: https://buymeacoffee.com/just-shiggi
