The BJJ thread

[OxfordWill]

I didn't see a bjj thread yet. Raise your hand if you enjoy rolling around on the floor sweeping, locking and choking your friends & strangers.

I'd like to see more events in Thailand, although there are some already.

Where do/did you train?

Im not very good but i do enjoy judo and bjj. haven't done any judo for years now as i just don't know where to go (there are places with lots of kids but i want somewhere with a good crossection of ages) but try bjj when i can.

visited fairtex in pattaya when i was last there, where Jaoa Bosco is a black belt instructor from Brazil and is very good. hope he sticks around or if not they find a replacement if he does leave, as he mentioned maybe going to Dubai in october. i expect to be back there soon.

There plenty of Judo in Thailand. Most of the University and Physical Education Colleges have Judo Clubs. We have one here in Chiang Mai at the University. Ages many 18 to 25 years. Some evenings we have 30 adults training with some BJJ as well.

I train at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket - I'm an MMA student but we work in a lot of BJJ moves. Head coach is Fernando Maccachero, a 4th Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Crezio de Souza, also holds a Brown Belt in Judo.

No BBJ events in Thailand that I've seen yet - we're off to BKK on 12th October for DARE (thai organisation for MMA) as one if our team are fighting if you are interested in that sort of thing.

There is a blue & white belt tournament fairly often, the last one was held at EMAC (Silom) with Ben Stark who I believe is also linked to the DARE stuff but Im not 100% sure.

I see other gyms also do them, I see the next one is at bkkbjj (sukhumvit)

I also have tickets for DARE, should be good.

Does anyone know of Sunday open mat space anywhere in BKK? Its a good time for me but I can't find anywhere that offers apart from early Saturday.
