Hey guys I have a few questions for anyone in the Orlando area that could help me out. Im here visiting right now and having a great time and thinking about moving here full time im trying to find out the best gyms im looking at ATT or Gracie Barra Orlando was wondering if anyone also knew of any gyms that are looking for a bjj instructor im a 2 stripe brown under Relson willing to do privates for 40 bucks an hour

I'm in Orlando and there are quite a few good gyms. What area are you planing on calling home?

 

[flikerstance]

Most likely metro west/ Kissimmee area

Metro West and Kissimmee are quite different areas.

There is The Jungle MMA in Orlando. I dropped in on a NoGi class once. Nice place but primarily focused on MMA.

Literally around the corner is Orlando Gracie Barra. Never been in there but I've been to there other school in Kissimmee.

There's a Gracie Barra in Kissimmee run by Igor Andrade a 4th degree Black Belt. Super nice guy. Went in for an open mat with some friends and was given a standing open invitation.

There is a Robson Moura affiliate next door in Saint Cloud, Nova Uniao Full Circle MMA, run by John Gorsuch a three stripe Brown belt. Robinho is an hour away in Tampa and they have a great relationship. (I train here)

Don't know much about Metro West schools.

Isn't Bruno Malfacine teaching in Orlando?

Yes. He teaches at Alliance in Orlando.

Some of the guys at my gym drop in on Alliance and The Jungle from time to time. I've been invited to come along but haven't had the time.

I didn't list it because I haven't personally been there.

I spent a couple days at Alliance and really liked it. I posted something on it at BJJ Legends

Another angle would be to offer your services to a TMA. It would be a good way to expose their members to a ground based Martial Arts. Could sell it as "another benefit of membership". There are lots of ways to market yourself.

Just a thought.
