Names of Best No Gi Instructors/Clubs

[The Natural]

Just a quick question,

Who would be regarded as some of the best 'no gi' grappling coaches?

Thinking of doing abit of travelling to improve a sh1t ground game.

This aint to cause offense, genuine opinions please.

Travelling? - you got a bus ticket or a car or a plane ticket with a hotel at the end?

Where do you see yourself going and where can you afford?

I could say Marcelhino and you could say - oh I cant afford NYC!

[J-Sho]

If money no object, go to Renzo's in NYC.

If you mean london, then London Shoot or Roger Gracie Academy.

[The Natural]

Sorry, i should have stated - UK.

To stay for a week or two and get the most out of training.

Heard alot of good things about London Shoot.

Help Appreciated.

to stay for a week or 2 in London would cost you as much as a cheap hostel and flight to New York to train with Renzo and the training is Mustard!!

[Total MMA-Iain]

Unless you know someone in London of course. Much more likely than knowing someone in New York!

[Benws]

Renzos is very expensive. But Renzos is very good and easily one of the best schools in the US.

If you can get a cheap flight to vegas, then there is cobra kai(Jeff glover,marc laimon,joe stevenson and sim go teach there). They also have one of the best competition teams in the US, and i think they arn't that expensive. Also there are alot of other good gyms there in vegas. Accommodation is generally pretty cheap aswell.

[The Natural]

Thanx, Help and advice appreciated.

yes we did know sumone in NY but the hostel we stayed at was dirt cheap!! and the training cost us $100 for a whole week to do the classes then privates on top!!

[robs1980]

predators in manchester.. hes the best about every will see in the next year

[The Natural]

Robs1980, Excuse my ignorance...

Where/what is predators in Manchester?

I know Manchester pretty well so where is it located?

Instructors name? Credentials?

Alot of questions i know, but just trying to make an informed decision. :D

[The Natural]

After reading the Fila results and the success of London shoot...mayb that is the place to go in the uk, as suggested previously on another post????

[Stalkachu]

It depends if you're talking in percentages. RGA is the only club with a 100% competitor / team record, so logically... ^_^

If you're looking for pure no-gi though and want to train a lot, then London Shoot is probably your best bet in London. If you wanna just do once or twice a week, RGA has a couple of classes a week you could try. ^_-

*end shameless plug*

Take care,

Stalks

Leicester shoot, Nathan Leverton is probably the best grappling coach I've met - hugely knowledgeable and a real attention to detail, probably a good reason why so many top fighters train with him (Hardy, Wallhead, Andre Winner etc). Also Leicester is a lot cheaper than london.

Leigh Remedios is also a very good instructor.

[robs1980]

Thanks Dave :)

You're welcome to come and train at London Shoot. As others have kindly mentioned we generally do very well in no-gi events (see Fila qualifier, most medals at last ADCC UK etc) but also if you are looking to ever adapt to MMA we've got a pretty good track record in that department too.

Other clubs mentioned also good though- Levo at Liecester Shoot and RGA etc so it maybe comes down to your personal preference.

Curious Stalkachu, what is a "100% competitor / team record" and what does it mean?

Paul.

[J-Sho]

Curious Stalkachu, what is a "100% competitor / team record" and what does it mean?

He (jokingly, hence ^_^) is saying that he was the only RGA competitor at the trials and he got on the squad, so 100% of the people entering got on the squad. ;)

[The Natural]

Thanx guys...great information there...much appreciated.

Will gather up the funds and workout how much i have at my disposal to go training with. ;)

[Predator]
