I'm moving to Melbourne soon and would like to know what MMA schools there are out there. I'm mainly a wrestler and BJJer with some boxing. Looking for a competitive school to train at.

Isn't there still only the 2 places training MMA in Melb at the moment in the Extreme gym and the UnderWorld gym???

Keats, Hangar 4 now has 5 MMA classes per week. two classes are wrestling with Ziggy/ MMA (wednesday and saturday), two classes are with the MMA/ muay thai coach Gavin (tuesday and thursday) and on mondays we have John Will every second week teaching straight MMA.

Thats great to hear Lach, in these classes do you train with striking on the ground aswell or are they more no gi type training?

When in Melbourne, I choose to train BJJ at any JB Will Machado BJJ affiliated school, stay at the Carlton Crest and drive anything with the keys left in it.

Yeah we train with striking on the ground. But at this stage when sparring we are only using punches.

I've heard rumours about possibly having an intermediate MMA class where you can also kick, knee etc.

Thanks for that Lach.

I say forget about Melbourne and move up to Sydney. That's where the real action is... ;)

Hey Guys

I'll be living in Northern Caufield. I thinks it's called that. I'm right next to tram 63 or something.

Alcide (aka Ralce),

North Caulfield is reasonably close to Prahran; like I mentioned above, feel free to come and roll. Info can be found here www.graciejiujitsu.com.au

Hope to see you soon!
