Help/Advice: Good BJJ/MMA Clubs in Newcastle?

Hi Everyone

I'm very interested in learning BJJ / Vale Tudo and would welcome any advice and help on good clubs and academies in and around the Newcastle upon Tyne area.

I've heard there is a very good BJJ class ran at Wallsend Boys Club by a guy called Dave Elliot. Ive also heard the names John Aitken and Lee Mair mentioned in glowing terms (AFC Newcastle or something??) who apparently run one of the best MMA academies in Newcastle.

Can anyone offer any points / advice, and if possible, contact details for where they would recomend?

As I said, I want a first rate club with an instructor who has a strong pedigree. I'm not interested in any 'airy / fairy' clubs. I'm also looking into Muay Thai, if anyone has any suggestions for this as well.

Much appeciated!

Ross
