Hi all,
I jsut moved to Suwon in South Korea and I'm looking for a place to grapple. I haven't seen any mma, jujitsu or wrestling clubs around here; I haven't even seen a hapkido dojang. The only MA's in the imidiate neighbourhood are TKD places geared to children.
If anyone knows of a place to roll in Suwon I would greatly appreciate your assitance.
Cheers

Have you looked for Judo? IJF headquarters are in Korea so I'd imagine they have a decent directory of Judo places throughout the country.

I think there's MMA school in Suwon. There are some judo and hapkido dojos too.

The best place to grapple in South Korea is John Frankl's academy in Seoul. John is a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and has two locations. jfrankl@yahoo.com

John Frankl is good people. I met him at SBGi Spring Camp a few years ago. Excellent teacher and awesome grappler.

John is awesome, simply put. I trained with him at a seminar in Korea and attended class at one of his academies there. You can't go wrong training with the man!
