MMA/Kickboxing clubs near Upminster in Essex

[gsp=legend]

Does anyone know of any MMA clubs in the Upminster/Hornchurch region?

I've watched UFC/kickboxing for a few years now and have thought about taking up training for some time. I have done a couple of kickboxing classes before and I found those good. However they were in rented halls rather than dedicated gyms so I was a little disappointed at the same time.

Are people who train but don’t fight looked down upon in MMA? The reason I ask is because I don’t really want to be pressured into fighting. I just want to train and learn the skills as I think it’s a great sport. If I’m any good, which I doubt as I’m now nearing 26, I would do some sparring.

If anyone can help me it would be very much appreciated

Thanks

Try Jon Hegans club in Upminister www.kravmagacombat.com. Jon is a purple belt in BJJ and Black belt in judo as well as being an instructor in Kravmaga.

You can also try Marc walders club www.bjj-online.com Marc is a blackbelt in bjj. His club is in Chadwell heath which isn't too far from Upminister.

Thanks for the quick response lads.

I've had a look on the Kravmaga site and it looks like mainly self-defence. Am I reading it right?
That BJJ club looks good. May well give the instructor a buzz.


Adamfromessex whereabouts in Marc’s Place do you train? What MA do you train in?
