Mississauga and Ottawa-Gatineau

**fanger123** · Posted On: 8/02/2010 1:33pm

Hey
I'll be in Mississauga for ~ 3 days, and I'll like to take that chance to train at a new place. Most likely, I'll check out Schilling's since that's the one in Mississauga, though with 3 classes a week, I'm not sure if the schedule will work... Any other schools around the area? I know there are a lot of schools near TO, but don't want to go all the way and deal with TO traffic.

Also, I'll be moving to Ottawa-Gatineau region, and I'm debating between 3 schools... (Evolution, Ronin, OAMA)

I plan to visit all 3 of them and see which one I like best... but if anybody from here trains in one of the above 3, I have some questions for ya...

Thanks!

I assume you are looking for MMA specifically, is that correct

so you train at OAMA? i actually had some questions about the schedule...

the classes are divided by belts as per the webpage, but are other belts also welcome?

Is there sparring after every class? (on the website, they have specific randori times)

Sorry - I live in Toronto. Used to live in Ottawa but trained Judo at Takahashi dojo which I would highly recommend if you were interested in Judo (I cannot speak to their JJ/grappling programs, but they are very talented martial artists and teachers).

Try to flip a PM to GoJu-Joe. He is in the west end.

Thanks for the judo tip! I would love the restart judo... there are 2 other clubs in Gatineau, so I'll check 'em out too.
