Hello,
I'm obviously new to this site and am looking for some advice. My background is Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, and Freestyle Wrestling(20yrs). I'm looking to build up my BJJ experience and knowledge while maintaining my striking skills.
I moved to the Southbay area(Torrance, CA) recently and am looking for a new MMA gym to train at. One that focuses on BJJ and submission wrestling, and if it had a Muay Thai program that would be a plus. I've looked online and found a bunch of names, but would like to know what people had to say about them or their own experiences. It would be appreciated if you could comment on any of the following good, bad, indifferent or if you know of any other gyms in the area that provide good instruction and training.
Here are some that I found:
R1 Gym (formerly RAW) El Segundo
Gracie Barra El Segundo
Aloisio Silva BJJ Lomita/Lawndale
Brazilian Top Team Long Beach
Neutral Grounds Long Beach
Legends MMA Hollywood
HB Ultimate Training Huntington Beach
Rey Diogo BJJ
Cacique BJJ Carson
Chute Boxe Long Beach
Combat Submission Wrestling(Erik Paulson) Fullerton
