I train regularly at a British Combat Association club where I live, but work commitments mean that I am staying overnight in Glasgow once a fortnight. This means I'm losing a couple of days training and it's driving me crazy. Plus I enjoy training with different people.

I'm looking for a decent club that I can train with on a Wednesday night in Glasgow. I fully appreciate that I am kind of taking the piss a little by only turning up once a fortnight but I am hoping that there is a club in Glasgow that will be ok with this.

The obvious choice would be Rick Young but he's sadly in Edinburgh.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

OP how did you get on?

Griphpouse is excellent! Cant compare it to any similar sized clubs as only been to smaller Muay thai clubs around Scotland. Really enjoyable.

Sorry, I meant to post an update. I went a couple of Wednesdays ago and will be going again in a couple of weeks time when I'm next up.

It was hot, sweaty, stuffy, gritty, brilliant! Turned up early and was confronted by MMA, BJJ, Mauy Thai. Basically a load of hard, violent jocks with leg sleeves, so a little intimidating for an old englishman like me wink I joke of course. As always with this sport, great guys, great fun, some proper skill on show and great instruction. You can see why they are so successful.

I was made to feel really welcome and not like an interloper, despite being a kick boxer wink. I took away a couple of things that I've incorporated in sparring these past few weeks. Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.
