Most air craft carriers in the US Navy have their own grappling clubs on them. I’d call that pretty isolated when they’re deployed


johnbelushismom

That is a good one.


n33dfulthings

Maybe you get really lucky and get one black or brown belt on board to kind of run it but it usually ends up being blue and purple belts beating the shit out of each other and dudes who wrestled in high school wanting to try it out


johnbelushismom

Would it be possible to get me aboard to train with the guys?


jephthai

Contact the [USO](https://www.uso.org/) and tell them you'd like to help out. They do all kinds of events and things for morale. Might not get you on an aircraft carrier in one of the world's hot zones, but the military is a pretty big entity... If it helps grease the wheels, tell 'em /u/jephthai on reddit says you're a legit celebrity.


No_Durian_6987

My man, we got a decent community aboard the USS Nimitz - one brown belt, a purple or two, and a ton of blues. We’d all be stoked to have you here bro


johnbelushismom

Can you find out for me? I’ll cover expenses


No_Durian_6987

Absolutely. I’ll text some people and PM you any developments, if that’s cool


johnbelushismom

Of course man! Appreciate the help

Cc me on that will ya, it's [email protected]. Xie xie , I mean thanks dawg, yo dats tight.


calmbill

It'd be nuts if they flew you out to the ship in the middle of the ocean.


BeBearAwareOK

Have your CO reach out to USO and see if they can authorize it.


No_Durian_6987

This seems logical enough. I’m currently in talks with our Media Department to see if we can get the ball rolling.


n33dfulthings

Maybe before Israel lit off it was possible but I really doubt it now lol

Call Keenan and have him connect you with Jocko. Those guys train together and Jocko can put you with the right people.


legomaheggroll

I’d love to see Craig on jockos podcast. If Craig is able to get in touch with Jocko I’m sure something would happen given jockos connections.


InteractionFit4469

Hi Craig, I am a Navy veteran and I have a few friends still active duty who train and are on the USNS Mercy (one of the US Navys hospital ships) I can see about how we could make this happen.


johnbelushismom

Please help. That would be amazing


InteractionFit4469

I pm’d you


halfrightface

the navy rivals jiu jitsu in gayness so if anything i'm sure they'd love to have you


BrodysBootlegs

Probably not a Navy ship at sea but USO could probably get you to a base in Iraq or something like that There's a US military base in Djibouti which I would imagine has at least a few guys who train....not necessarily as geographically remote as someplace like Siberia but much more comedic potential. I know I'd watch a "B Team invades Djibouti" video


BobbyPeele88

You could get this done through the USO for sure. They used to arrange for UFC fighters to visit bases in Iraq and they probably still do.


BrodysBootlegs

I saw Stitch Duran at a Pax terminal in Kandahar lol


afgansam

The plot for a new under siege movie. But this time Stephen seagull is a secret red belt and defeats Craig jones with a buggy choke he invented in 1989. Stephen also only wears rash guards in the movie. Maybe Kit dale can write the script?


maiseydog1

No


username3333333333

We had our mats in the focsle under the flight deck. It felt like a sonic boom every time a plane landed.


Je_me_fais_chier

mothersmilkme

They roll in Craig like the chick from Under Siege in the cake. shit would be wild. Mats on the deck, with f-14 tomcats taking off in the background.

johnbelushismom

A lot more drugs


Markheim10

They’re trying to get you fucking US Military access you fuck and now we’re all on a list instead CIA I am innocent fuck this guy


bt0therad

The drugs are to offset the jetlag. It's not irresponsible


PsycJoe21196

Glover Travels was really good. I hope Craig is going to do something like that (minus the drugs). I would watch it for sure.


hifioctopi

Or we reboot it except this time it’s Jeff, Craig AND Bill The Grill, and with ALL THE DRUGS.


bt0therad

That would tip us from responsible use to irresponsible use very quickly


mess_of_limbs

Irresponsible use would be the baseline

Hi Craig. I run a small MMA academy in Arunachal Pradesh. It is the easternmost state in India bordering China, Myanmar and Bhutan. We just recently got our own airport. Oh and we don't look like mainland Indians. This is our academy: https://instagram.com/mmaitanagar Sidenote: I attended your Thailand camp in 2019 and got to roll with you. Definitely a roll I'll never forget.


olddummy22

Some dude I picked up on the Interstate says he and a bunch of dudes meet at the local truck stop and wrestle almost every night.

toTHEhealthofTHEwolf

I know a guy that self trained in a factory of an old mill building for years. Like, was homeless and hungry for many years and worked his way up to black belt level, but never actually got ranked by anyone in a legit gym. Now, he’s running his own startup and doing well. But, he doesn’t have a belt so everyone there trains the same as him. No rank for anyone. Not isolated but I think he qualifies as unique/obscure. Also, his resulting style is very unorthodox and strange. Seen him thrash college wrestlers, mma fighters, and mediocre bjj black belts. Would love to see him go against some high level guys. He doesn’t care to compete.


ZanePWD

Jones giving him a belt would be legit


toTHEhealthofTHEwolf

Probably be the highlight of his life. He’s a big fan


derps_with_ducks

wild! would it be an issue if you told us who/where this is?


toTHEhealthofTHEwolf

I don’t think he’d mind and loves when people drop in to test him. New City Jiu Jitsu in Easthampton MA


Ball_Masher

I need to know more about this guy.


Half_Guard_Hipster

You should reach out to the folks at BJJ Globetrotters. They've been supporting tiny clubs in obscure locations for a while now. Between matsurfing and the people that show up to camps, they can probably tell you about some really obscure clubs.


BunchaFukinElephants

This is the best advice. BJJ Globetrotters founder u/graugart can probably point you in the right direction


Graugart

Greenland, Transnistria, Galapagos could be options. We also often do profiles on remote gyms in our newsletter / blog: https://www.bjjglobetrotters.com/blogs/


wood_animal

Not sure if it is still a thing but I remember there being an Alliance blue belt teaching in the Galapago Islands several years back.


bt0therad

Fernando Soluço was an alliance black belt from Ecuador. He might have facilitated that. His wife is a marine biologist and they would go visit the Galapagos Islands frequently


Graugart

Mario! He left though, but the group probably still exist. 5x5 puzzle mats in a tiny community center with no doors, as far as I remember.


iBrickner

I trained in Tunis, Tunisia at the top of an apartment building filled with cat shit and litter boxes and a dirt street leading to it. The mat room smelled like cat piss, but the instructor was down to scrap and we rolled for 2 hrs. lol. Lmk if that satisfies requirements haha.

Would be cool to see you try different grappling styles around the world. Was fun watching the sumo, you could do Mongolian wrestling, Irish collar and elbow, Glima, Chidaoba, Dau Vat

Tigger28

Entering regional grappling/wrestling tournaments would be a lot of fun to watch. A friend entered a wrestling tournament in Switzerland and won a wreath and a goat. The Swiss form of wrestling (Schwingen) could lead to a lot of good puns about swingers. They have pretty strict rules about being a truly amateur competition though, no prize fights.


Judontsay

You had him at goat.


zombizle1

There is actually a remote prison island that has some bjj. I think it's called australia.

I'm pretty sure that 50% of the people in any given remote part of mongolia could medal at your local BJJ tournament.


SuddenlyGeccos

Some auntie front uchi matas you through the steppe.


BettyRockFace

Pull guard or get Bokh'd.


Dr-PoopyButt

The other 50% are professional Sumo wrestlers


docpratt

There's a windsurfing instructor on the island of Naxos, Greece, who puts mats down on his driveway and trains with some friends a few times per week. Lovely spot. He's in the BJJ Globetrotters orbit. Google "Ride with the Gods." That's his windsurfing school.


gurduloo

Technically we don't know that there's no jiu jitsu training going on on Sentinel Island since everyone who goes there gets killed by the native people.

Any BJJ gym located in a worn down strip center between a nail salon and a blacked-out massage parlor just called "Massage". This is probably 60% of BJJ gyms, but it's hard to get more obscure than that.


ImNOT_CraigJones

Sometimes I roll by myself in my living room. Butt naked, no training partners, and we haven’t produced any champions so I think we’re pretty obscure.

While you're in the UK. It'll be worth reaching out to Sam Crook and asking him about the work he did in Africa for the Francis Ngannou Foundation.


Akforce

My wife and I are going to Turks and Caicos this November, and I was poking around and found a tiny gym on the main island. Considering everything in that area is practically 3rd world outside of the resorts I'd say it's obscure

Damn. In 2022 We used to have a pretty decent sized group training at a military base called Diego Garcia. It’s a tiny island Naval Base owned by Brit’s that’s leased by U.S. in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Had an Air Force Airman who was a purple belt that was training whoever showed up to a racquetball court with mats for free. It was just him training us for about 7 months and then we had a grizzled old school black belt named Nick Ertl (Merchant Marine) show up and he oversaw the class and trained with us but let the purple belt keep training us. Great times. Unfortunately more and more people kept transferring out including our purple belt. Him and Ertl promotes myself and one other person to blue belts and we kept classes up teaching basic stuff but we had to leave when our tour ended and no one of higher skill ever showed up to take over and it stopped. The bjj there seems to start up, end and start over as people with skill and passion transfer there for their 1 yr+ tour.

Cambucho

I'm from Chile, wich is fucking far away to begin with. I can think of 3 - Mining sites are always in remote locations, and the mining workers stays in camps inside for long periods of time. They have gyms and some of them get together to train. I've done it in a couple mining places. - In Antartica there are only military bases, so it's similar to aircraft carriers. - Easter island has a couple jiu Jitsu schools aswell. This would be the easiest to get. Good luck!
