manchega Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Hi, I want to find a bjj in Bangkok where the rates are reasonable. If I wanted to pay London prices I would live in London, I train with all sorts of people all over the world. I come to BKK and it seems only the privileged practise and pay 2 or 3 times minimum wage to play for an hour or so. Surely there are some real gyms here too? also would really like to find no gi, its hot enough already without wearing pyjamas, surely soemone will let me roll around with hi tech sports fabrics instead?

petermik Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Is it possible you could explain your post in a manner that we can understand more clearly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchega Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 ha ha ha, not sure if you did think that or not. i mean jujitsu for the two js. hopefully that is clearer. watch out for those ladyboys though, they look pretty scary to me. I want to find a reasonable priced place to roll with other practitioners instead of 500 thb +. its Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncleeagle Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 bkk has four bjj gyms to my knowledge and they usually offer a 500 baht one day fee for group classes and about 3000 to 4000 or so for a month etc. No idea what London gyms charge, but that seems about right, instructors need to live, eat, pay rent etc like everyone else. The gyms are BKK fight lab, Q23, Arete and one i dont remember the name of. Google to find locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these guys cant afford to eat with that, then they are shopping/eat in the wrong places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchega Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 hmm, I get the earning a living thing. Current price means your average Thai is unable to afford. Only those who are relatively wealthy can roll. Since it seems there is only 4 gyms any pointers on ease of travel to location from any members or teachers on forum? i.e. how easy to drive to any of these.

oval Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Arete is really good and easy to get to - it's on the main thong lor road about 10 minute walk from the BTS. It's run by 2 black belts - one Canadian and one Japanese. Good mix of belt levels and classes. I rate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish096 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 EMAC in Silom would be the most affordable. Walk ins are 300 baht per session, or you can pay 1800 baht per month to train 3 times a week every week. So that would break down to 150 baht per session if you showed up 12 times per month. There are 3 black belts that teach currently, but they host many different traveling BB's, so those numbers fluctuate. There are roughly 6 gi, and 4 no-gi sessions per week.

Andy Allen Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I agree, the fees of BJJ gyms have priced me out of the market. I've trained in other cities for a lot more affordable prices. I guess a lot of the cost is in rent for the property in Bangkok. Thanks for putting on to EMAC Fish096. That could be the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchega Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 EMAC is the easiest to drive to in the end some of them are in ridiculous places for travel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
