im going to def check out the westcliff place, sounds good!
The other one is called Shen-Ti academy, its literally round the corner from where i work, i emailed them the other week asking if they are still training there as it seemed to be abit dead around the area and no-one has got back to me. ive walked past it on my lunch but doors seem to be closed all the time. Its a shame though as that place would be ideal for me as its right on my doorstep!
Might drop in tomorrow and have a look again.
thanks buddy for the info.

hey just thought id let people know that i went to the shen ti place during the week and again today and it just looks like its been closed down, its got a 'to let' sign on it and doesnt look like its being used inside...
Shame would have been the ideal place for me...

Come down to the shen ti club in witham. Thai boxing, BJJ (Gi and no gi) mma, and kali.
Check out www.teamryu.webeden.co.uk
There is some sort of mma club at the dovedale sports centre in chelmsford, which some guy runs but ive heard its not that great. But that was just peoples opinions. i cant vouch that for myself.
