Dale is the man. I will always be a fan. Beat Siver’s ass in Germany!
YoungGuns, no offense taken because it’s obvious you’ve never stepped in our gym. We have many pro fighters like Jeff Camara, Josh Laberge, Adrian Coleman, Bobby Alves, myself, and many others with 1 or 2 pro and ammy MMA and Muay Thai fights. We consistenly excel at grappling tournaments. We travel to New Jersey, New Hampshire, all over massachusetts to compete in grappling tournaments. Our gym is sponsored by American Standup Fighter. We are equipped with NAGA mats courtesy of Kipp Kollar which we bring to tournaments when he is in town. There are a lot of great instructors, gyms, and teams in and around Fall River but there is no better MMA team in Fall River than Team Gillett , period. Our record speaks for itself. Consider this an invite to the gym.

There are alot of good gyms in South Shore Mass. Boneyard, Lauzon MMA, Don Banville’s Team JBA, and Sityodong are some of the best gyms around. If your in the Fall River area Don Banville is the best Jiu-Jitsu coach around…he happened to train Lauzon, Santos and his coach. Team JBA has some really good kickboxers…Marc Rapoza is sick with Muay Thai and Ben Pittsley is a WCL veteran are just a few. The fact is, I will only train under someone who has actually fought before…not sure if Gillette has fought. If I had to chose 1.)sityodong 2.) Lauzon 3)Team JBA (4) Boneyard …no offense but Gillette’s would be the absolute last resort.

Good article, I’m looking for somewhere to train BJJ and this will help me narrow down the few choices I have. -.-

any one got any ideas of where the best place in the St. Louis area is… i am thinking either
1.) the HIT Squad which is matt hughes new gym, but their website doesn’t say anything about muay thai…
2.) Team Vaghi which has muay thai and jiu-jitsu which i really want to learn
i was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts of any st. louis area schools, more around south county or Illinois side????

I’ll second the endorsements for both Sam. I train out of Daddis and they are the real deal. Check them out.

Thanks for the tips. As a 36 YO first time (well ok second time first was a couple months ago) I have already saw some things. The first gym I tried for 4 days and the instructors didnt show up 3 days in a row. I am now going to try Junie Brownings gym. I figure it got him on TUF so they know a little. I was looking at the cheap route the first time but my understanding is 4 seasons is only $100 bucks a month for a full mma course. Is that because I am in lexington KY?

Ilive in the DFW area, so I’m lucky to have trained at Lutters in the past and currently at Guy Mezgers. I don’t think anyone can question either. But to the authors point, pretty much every strip mall around now has BJJ. There just really aren’t all the many black belts in TX, so you know its shady. Pay your money, find a good gym, it will be money well spent.
