MMA Belfast

Hey guys, hope you can help

I have done Tae Kwon Do in the past unfortunately I had to give it up for my studies GCSE'S was looking to get back into it when I got into 6th form

However the leisure centre I trained closed down, have not really bothered looking to some of the other martial arts as with most gyms you have to be a member to take any of the classes

Was wondering if anyone knew if there were any good classes taught in belfast that does not require me to join a gym with an outrageous membership fee?

I picked MMA as it something that I have been interested in for a while

 

There's Gracie Barra BJJ in Newtonabbey http://www.gracie-barra-ni.co.uk/ and The university BJJ club http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=4895120942 both do not have outrageous joining fees. If you want more MMA type stuff they will point you in the right direction.

 

Cheers for that but making it up to newtownabbey could prove to be a bit difficult was hoping to find somewhere within belfast to train

but cheers for the info I may have to just grim an bare it

 

The Queens club gets good reviews, be worth trying them, I believe they train in the PEC.

 

I think in the PEC you have to be a member to take part in any of the classes

 

Nah you don't. You can go in as a guest for sports club things- someone from the club signs you in. Or at least you could last time I was there.

Also I think there is a BJJ class in Frames on Saturdays... I'm not entirely sure but I used to see some grappling going on there about a year ago.

 

Hmm? Frames you say? Thats pretty close to where I work, an within walking distance from my flat

Anyone else got any information regarding frames?

 

I got signed into Queens - which basicaly involved saying I am going to the BJJ club and they said OK write your name down and we will get the VP to sign it if no one else turns up.

 

dunno about bjj at frames, but the MT guys are there I know.

 

There was some sort of grappling thing on after the MT classes sometimes and sometimes at the weekend. Don't know if it was regular though. From my memory it looked like BJJ.

P.S. Wingzero87 if you're interested in Thai Boxing by any chance Frames club is excellent by the way.

 

I would be interested in any sort of martial art, Thai Boxing you say? Is it still going on? What are the times?
