Looking for BJJ / MMA Club in Bogota

I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I would be extremely interested to know if a BJJ place exists in Medellín. I have had no such luck finding one here. Or muay thai. Hell, even just boxing would be nice. I'm going crazy without a place to train.

Actually there are at least 2 schools in Medellin including Gracie as mentioned above. Also there is fighting/martial arts being taught at the INDER at the stadium. I dont have it all exactly straight of who is who and from where, but clients/teachers/owners from both schools, the INDER and the Colombian National Martial Arts Team always come over for the UFC pay per views at my place and even though they are competitors business-wise and sports-wise, they all really seem to get along. Ian who trains/instructs, lives in Poblado and ships overseas back and forth a lot for work let me know at the last pay per view that they (he?) are building an Octagon in Barrio Colombia. Not sure when it will be ready but he said they will be showing the fights on TV here in Colombia when it starts. Stop by for the next UFC pay per view and say hello as they are all approachable - Champions, La 80 con 28, Barrio Belen La Palma, Medellin, tel: 3434343.

So, can I assume that there are NONE , Zipee, Nada in Bogota? I know there was a member of this Forum who actually had a club in Bogota but I don't know if he is still around.

Thanks again
