Training in South Korea

Hello All,

I realise it isn't Japan, but the closest place I could find. I was wondering if anyone knows a website (english) with places to train bjj/mma in KwangJu South Korea.... I know it is a longshot, but you never know who lurks on this board.

Thank you.

Good luck with that, I'll put my ear to the ground, but I haven't heard of anything in Kwangju itself. There is almost certainly a kickboxing gym, it also might be worth trying a local hapkido school, though they are a totally mixed bag. A Judo school might also be useful, but again quality does vary and often they do not have many adults as most either have quit or are involved in competetive clubs which usually don't like walk-ons...

Take care

Paul

Yeah, I wasn't expecting an actual BJJ school. Was hoping some enthusiasts at a local gym or something :). Thank you for looking out.

I lived and trained in Kwangju, at a place which I don't know the name of. It was near bookucho, if you can find that. I'm sorry it's not much help. They did BJJ, but no proper instruction, just a bunch of guys. Just get a korean to look up UFC, Pride, MMA and kwnagju on google.

You can try checking the gym finder on www.spiritmc.org

Under the "community" section there is a gym finder tool that helps you locate gyms associated with spiritmc.

try www.straightblastgym.com

I think they have affiliates in Korea and that one of thier black belts lives there.
