BJJ schools in Thailand

[That metalThing]

Im going to Thailand soon to train MT but I wouldnt mind improving my ground skills a little aswell since I am going to be there for a while. Do you know of any good place in Bangkok or somewhere else where there are prefereably BJJ black belts teaching?

good luck, really dont know any places. I wouldnt imagine Thailand to be the Meca of bjj.
Its not a very rich country, so not much opportunity for black belts to go there and teach, making a healthy living.

Best bet would probably be to concentrate on one thing at a time while your there. Take advantage of what makes thailand famous. Muay-Thai
Train bjj when you come back to the states, or go to Brazil. You wouldnt want to go all the way to thailand to train muay thai and then get injured doing bjj and now be unable to take advantage of the best place to train MT.

Reminds me of taking a chick to dinner at a seafood resteraunt and she orders a steak. Then we go to the steakhouse and she orders lobster.. and at both places she didnt finish her meal... dont know if that even makes sense.. but do what you want with it.

Phil's a great guy and is very technical. Tell him that Mike from Tinguinha's sent you. Also, don't tell him that I said he was a great guy.

Ole Laursens mma gym in thailand. I think its called legacy gym.

It doesnt say shit about mma or bjj on the homepage but they do grappling as well as traditional thaiboxing there, I think that is one of the best solutions for you.

Bangkok Fight Club is a nice place to train. I'm not sure who teaches there now but have had a number of pretty good instructors, including a Royler brown belt. There facility is nice and it's easy to get to by train. They are sponsored by Fairtex, so you can buy authentic Fairtex stuff there too.

Cool, I might just check that gym out. But why did it take that guy 5 years to get from blue to purple? Seems a bit long...

That's pretty standard. Blue to purple is the hardest transition, followed by purple to brown. You also don't know the circumstances. Perhaps he only had time to train twice a week maybe, or took a break due to an emergency?

Blue to purple is a long road. However, Phil was a bit inconsistent in his training for a while and I believe he did a little bit of school jumping. This undoubtedly held him back a bit. At the very least go roll with the guy. I guarantee you that this will put to rest any doubts about his abilities.
