Hello, this is my first post here .

I was wondering if anybody had an idea of how i would be able to train within one of the schools. i do have the obstical of not speaking the language and really dont know a whole lot about this country, but it is kinda on my bucket list and just seeing if it is possible.

Im a canadian male looking to make a trek through different countries while experiencing as much as i can. I have found that i get the most out of training within the local sport.

My first love is judo and i am planning a trip to kodakan in tokyo in the fall to train for a month or two.

At the moment im staying in cambodia training at a khmer kickboxing gym and will be here for the next month and a half. i am by no means in great physical condition, this trek is also meant to change that.

whatever you can ad would help a lot

thanks

i think it should not be that difficult. there are many wrestling clubs. i am sure they would accept u. keep in mind that middle of july is naadam. so a lot mongolian wrestlers prepare for the event. and afterwards clubs have holiday,
