Gyms near old street station,islington, london ?

[clyde_frog]

Hey,

First post here so hi everyone :D

I start a new job tomorrow in London right near Old street station and wanted to know if anyone can recommend any good MMA gyms nearby? I've done Muay Thai for a long time and while im working in London wouldn't mind trying some MMA or bjj/judo for a change.

The closest gym i have found on google is London fight factory, anyone recommend it or somewhere else?

Thanks all

Yes LFF is an absolute quality gym. As is http://www.legacybjj.co.uk/index.php/class-schedules although you get more variety at LFF, Legacy BJJ is also in old street and unlike LFF they don't insist on direct debit payment, so you can pay cash and see if it's for you.

the mma clinic is one stop up on the northern line at angel. www.themmaclinic.com Michael Russell teaches the BJJ with Paul Hines teaching MMA. Very good gym.

Cesar Lima BJJ is just on clerkenwell road, corner of charring cross road
Cesar is an RG Black belt

LFF is usually exploding at the seems with BJJ black belts from Brazil, good place for BJJ no doubt

[clyde_frog]

Thanks for the suggestions :)

Gonna check out LFF and legacy bjj tomorrow. Then try the others before deciding which one to join

Thanks again .

i thought bob had moved from hoxton square a couple of years ago to a leisure center ?

[daspecimen]

yeah Bob now operates out of Space (the gym attached to the college) which is about 5 mins away and last time I looked, didn't have the thai, boxing or BJJ classes they used to run but that might have changed recently.

[clyde_frog]

is that the same building as legacy bjj? i've only been to lff definitely want to check out legacy and a few of the others before joining up though.

[IjumpGuard]

Yeah Bob Breen trains next door to us

[clyde_frog]

Ijumpguard, Are the training times on your website correct or do you have different times available?

[IjumpGuard]

Not sure of website but the times are below, i say till late because classes often go on past the scheduled 9pm finish time

monday 7.30- till late
wednesday 6 - 7.30
thursday 7.30 - till late
saturday 12- 1.30 (but often goes later)

Most people think pay as you go gyms are a bit naff but they are definitely getting more popular. Most gyms just want to get you to sign membership though and they make their pay as you go price stupidly expensive BUT you can get discounted rates if you look properly. Try www.payasugym.com (http://www.payasugym.com/gyms-in-london/) to get you started...

there are a few different gyms within the area. the fees start from £5 a visit.
