What are some places that are good to train at? I'm guessing rec centers, community centers, and churches? What have you all found works best? It would be amazing if a university allowed a group to train there.
We use a community center right now, it works out well as they have a room dedicated to MA training. We share it with an Aikido class.
We have a uni muay thai club (with a coach from headhunters MMA) and a someone just set up a uni boxing club (no coach though) we have a larper club, a manga club and a "nerd" club. so i'm setting up a mixed grappling club. I'm bringing in a youth wrestling instructor (top in the UK) and we'll be running jiu jitsu theory/practice and some seminars later. i'm hoping to get a rick young grappler to give us a seminar and i've already got :Freeform: on it. We're running the club cos A). its cheaper in the uni than outside at other clubs B). it provides the opportunity for us to enter the scottish uni grappling tournament (run by st. andrews last year). We're gonna hold a competition next year and even bring some guys from Newcastle uni to compete. You should get something similar started! then we can compete!
