Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, or Judo in Medellin Colombia

Hey Everybody. I am living in Medellin, Colombia, and have been desperately trying to find a place to train MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, or wrestling. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Phone numbers or addresses would be a great help. Also, does anyone know of a place where I can watch the UFC in Medellin?

Thank you,
Will

I can hook you up with email addresses of a martial arts group that comes here once in a while of whom some are on the Colombian National Judo team. I also show the Monthly UFC pay-per-views on the big screen. You can catch UFC on FX here but I think they are a month or 2 behind the states and I can pick up spike tv thru the internet for you as well if you need to be current. You can email me at spigrimace at yahoo.com or stop by Champions/Hamburguesas Del Oeste, La 80 con 28, Barrio Belén La Palma. Probably too fake for you but we show WWE too if interested. Had a dozen over last night to see Great American Bash.

Hi Will! Good luck on your search. I have trained BJJ for a few months in Bolivia and in the US before moving to Colombia. I tried to find where to train while living in Bogota, Medellin, Barranquilla and now Cali with no luck. I'll keep on trying with kickboxing, Judo or tae kwon do at least to keep in shape.
Let me know if you find something, dont know when I will be back in Medellin.
