    First things first, you need to get down sports direct and purchase at least 10 tapout t-shirts. Tell them you are a fighter at the till and they will probably give you discount bro

    Just show up at a local gym; ask to talk to the coach and find out what shows people who train there have fought on, how recently and how they did. The research those shows/ tournaments etc That's the easiest way to find out if a place is bona fide or not
    Any opinions I express on this forum are entirely personal opinions and it should not be assumed that they reflect the official view of any organisations I am connected with

    In Southampton, you have lumpini which has good thai guys and a decent growing BJJ team under the guidance of Nick Brooks. I trained some BJJ there this weekend, real good guys.

    In Portsmouth you have Gym01. If you are looking for a gym with decent, top level mma fighters, they will be your best bet. Great facilities and they run their own very good show Shock n Awe too

    You're a prob a troll but I am giving you the benefit of the doubt in my response :-)

    To be fair, I might have misjudged this guy and it may be appropriate for me to apologise. Instead of that, I will give some extra advice, a real tip that make sure any aspiring fighter gets off to a strong start.

    Keep a low profile when you look round the local gyms. When you decide on a club, you want everyone to know not to mess you about. Before you start training, go along to watch a class.

    Wait til the instructor is talking through a point of detail, so it's nice and quiet, then jump up and hit the nearest heavy bag with 10-15 of your hardest strikes. stare out anyone from the class who looks at you, then laugh and walk out, saying 'that's how it's done fellas, see you next Tuesday.'

    purchase a couple of magazines , learn who the top fighters are then when you pitch up at your local cage fight club you can drop a few names ..

    "yeah bruv, i was wiv that Cage fighter fella andersen silver a few weeks ago out in Brazil innit, we straightened a'bat tweny mugs out !! "

    If you in southampton you might have to farmer it up a bit

    If you need a friend, get a dog !
