Treebranch Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I was wondering if anyone in the general LA area could suggest a good MMA training center that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I've looked at a few places and they just charge too much. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Treebranch.

Adonis Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 LA is pretty expensive place to live. General cost of MMA schools and Jiu-Jitsu schools is pretty high. Probably check out some YMCA club or other out of the way places for clubs. I wish I can be more help. What price range are you looking for?
Treebranch Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 Well I used to pay $175 per month for BJJ and I thought that was way too high for someone going 2 to 3 days a week. I'd pay $100.

Did you train at the Machado's main school? "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
Treebranch Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 It was a Machado school. Don't get me wrong I loved training there and they were all great people there. It's just that I couldn't justify paying that much. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
NightOwl Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 yeah, MMA and BJJ gyms- while actually I have found they have really nice people and teach you a lot, are usually on the expensive side. I got to do BJJ for $75 a month, and that's on the low end as these things go Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.~Theodore Roosevelt
Treebranch Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 I'll try the local YMCA's and similar places.Thanks. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
Adonis Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Try LegendsMMA. It may be expensive, but if you just hit up Eddie Bravo he charges in the low 100's I think maybe lower. I heard around $85 a month. However Don't quote me on that. I think it is very low 100's though. However as you know since its Eddie Bravo you won't be doing any gi there in that class.
Treebranch Posted November 1, 2007 Author Posted November 1, 2007 I'll give them a call and find out. I need something to do that will keep me in shape and is fun. No Gi sounds great!

Adonis Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 You may have the gym wanting you to sign up with other programs along with the Jiu-Jitsu program. It would be better to e-mail eddie personally. You can myspace him here. http://www.myspace.com/thetwister That way you can get a direct answer to your questions. He has been prettty good at replying.
