london bjj too much choice!!!

[callum weaver]

hi am gonna b working in london soon and have been checking out all the teams within the city and dont really know who would be the best to go with as there are so many, should i be looking at the style they teach and whether it fits with mine, the amount of training partners, the reputation of the team, number of affiliations and big names linked to the gym, the lineage of the instructors, number of their blackbelts competing at the highest level?.always lived in small towns with no choice so now am a bit torn

there is:

carlson gracie team
roger gracies
bjj school-felipe de souza
checkmat

[Jamie.Gaffney]

I would probly go with roger gracie just because hes like one of the best grapplers in the world right now , plus i heard gsp stops by there aswell he done it for his last fight i think roger only does gi there ? not sure though as he fights mma its just your preference

but if i was you, id check out rogers and carlsons teams just to see which is better and what you prefer

[Muhammad Abdou]

id go with checkmat.. i mean, thats leo viera's school.

i was really interested in carlson gracie's bcos they are known for having a very aggressive style of jiu jitsu as carlson integrated wrestling with his jj and had an mma based style, however i dont know if this is still the case as carlson is no longer with us, theyv got a really cool history too as they were the first to break away from helio's regime. have heard roger's guys r the opposite and prefer to work of their back, apparently roger is rarely there though, yeah was really interested by check mat too bcos all of their instructors are from brazil and r top shelf blackbelts

Roger.

Too many options is a good thing! I would check out Roger Gracie and Checkmat!
