I hear this place is good, was gonna train there myself but didn;t really want to travel from Cov every night. http://stevie-bs-gym.co.uk/martialarts.html They have Muay Thai, BJJ and Vale Tudo classes. The BJJ is taught by world champion Braulio Estima so you could probably do worse, lol.

I also know a lad that trains at a place called F's Freestyle under a guy named Marc Goddard. He referees in the Cage Warriors promotion and fights in various others as far as i know. http://www.cagewarriors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20486 http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=6362 The lad i know that trains with him is a really good grappler.
Just a bit of a follow up to my last post. I tried out the class today at F's Freestyle and it really is good. Did a few cardio circuits then some takedown techniques and then finally a techniqu based circuit including ground and pound, guard passing, submissions, bag work, clinching and wrestling takedowns. They usually roll too but we didn't today It was only £5 for 90 minutes too. Marc's cool and he's fought some big names in MMA including James Thompson and Jeff Monson (in ADCC)! They have a few pro fighters there that have appeared in Cage Warriors amongst other promotions. The place is in King's Norton next to iron works gym. They have a myspace page at: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=164383836

For what it is worth. My friend is one of the instructors (and UFC fighters) at the Ultimate Training Centre in Birmingham (Erdington). The other instructors are his coaches I believe. They are more expensive than the ones previously mentioned above, but they do have alot of great facilities including a full-size cage. http://www.utcuk.com/
