I was about to just ask a question but it occured to me that this thread might come in handy as a listing (or sticky if approved).
I am going to London tomorrow but I need an XXL rash guard for a no-gi seminar Sunday. Things like that need to be tried on first (p&p gets expensive after a while). Is there a shop, or a club I can walk in to purchase one TOMORROW?! preferably not more than a couple of miles from the centre of London. 6 tube stops is acceptable.

But more to the point; Can you make a listing of your shops please if you are a walk in and purchase store - NOT just an online stockist? I'm sure it would be a great help to people who don't shop online or who prefer to test their goods before taking them home.

Many thanks.

why do you need an MMA shop for a rash guard, i assumed they are the nike/under armour/adidas compression style tops that are sold in most sports shops (JJB/Direct sports ect), MMA shops would stock the MMA brands tho if thats what your after?

well I had a Nike rash guard and it wasn't as strong as my Koral (which got nicked). I would compare the normal rash guards to a ligh weight rash guard - comparing the two is quite a difference. But not only that; I would like to know about walk in stores; I hate waiting several days for stock to arrive and I'm not a fan of online shopping.

There don’t seem to be many (or even any) MMA/Combat Sports stores in London or the SE in general. Loads in the Midlands, NW and NE and a few in Scotland. Don’t know why.

We are not a shop but people tend to turn up anyway to try stuff on.

We are in Bolton

I would take an Under Armour over Nike or those stalwarts of shoddy gear Blitz any time.
