As the title suggest I'm curious if anyone can tell me which of the two, in your opinion, are better for learning no gi jiu-jitsu.

I haven't been able to find many reviews on either gym and though I personally plan to check both of them out, being a beginner it'd be nice to know what others think of it.

Body & Seoul Martial Arts and Fitness Center vs Fabricio Evolution BJJ - Which in your opinion is better to learn beginners BJJ/Grappling and why? (Both in Seoul)

Thanks!

I'd suggest going to each one and taking a trial class.

Or flip a coin.

Gonna take a lesson from both but outside of gut feeling after, or some massive glaring difference i won't really know which is better, because i've not done it before.

ok well i have heard good things about the Bracion place, however for the other place body and seoul. i wouldnt go there if you want to find no gi JJ. they teach kickboxing, muay thai, grappling and some wrestling as well as krav maga. As for their teachers, there was a guy there who was teaching muay thai who was supposed to be a national champ in korea, but i never met him. also prices there depend on how many classes you go to a week. so if you plan on going to as many of the different classes as you want its like i think 145,000 a month. Again though i think the best thing to do would be try out a class. because you dont want to pay for umlimited then end up disliking the teachers methods or the class itself.

hope this help

If I were you, I would base my decision on proximity to my house and how comfortable I felt at the gym. The closer the gym, the more often you will go - and thus the faster you will improve, regardless of minor differences in instruction quality. Likewise, the more comfortable you feel at the gym, the more likely it is that you'll continue to attend classes there. I know this is all a bit obvious and isn't exactly the type of response you're looking for, but these things are more important than you might think (and this is something many members of the Sherdog grappling forum agree with me on).

In Korea, language issues can also be a big factor if you don't speak Korean since BJJ can be quite nuanced, so I would definitely keep that in mind as well.
