Where is the best place to train BJJ in Seoul, Korea? Anbody have any suggestions?
 
Doesn't have to be BJJ, some sort of submission grappling will be fine.
 
there are 2 schools run by john frankl(boston bjj/ roberto maia black belt) purple belts with schools and john frankl has a school in apkujeong. There is a former machado purple belt with a school, there is a brasa brown belt with a school. There are mma teams in team tackle, korean top team, and jeong shim kwon, but they are more mma than grappling. If you need an english speaking enviorement i strongly recommend john frankl's school in apkujeong. Oh a john frankl brown belt also teaches class on m w at 11 am at yeonsei university. IMHO if you are not korean you should go to john frankl's.
 
I have been wondering about where Korean top team and these other MMA places are. I will almost certainly stick with Yonsei once my stitches are all healed, but I saw a video of Gomi traning at KTT and I have wanted to check that place out since. It does not say where KTT trains on their website at Cafe.daum
 
Thanks. I actually attended a seminar of John Frankl's on Sunday. I was really impressed by him, so I've decided to go to his gym in Seoul.
 
Is there a reason why the only two BJJ clubs in Korea are in the exact same district less than 5 miles from each other?
 
Just out of curiosity, does John Frankl still personally teach classes at one of the gyms in Seoul?
