Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a wrestling base at Combat Studios — Tuesday and Thursday evening BJJ, plus midday wrestling-for-BJJ, in an air-conditioned gym on Sukhumvit Soi 11.
A black belt and a brown belt who both wrestled and fought MMA — so your guard passing and takedowns are coached, not guessed.
Group Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tuesday and Thursday 19:00–20:00. Wrestling for MMA and BJJ Tuesday and Thursday 12:00–14:00 — the slot gi/no-gi players use to close the takedown gap.
Tommy Hayden is a BJJ black belt, US D1 wrestler, and UFC veteran. Dante Brown is a BJJ brown belt with 11 pro MMA fights. Privates with Tommy at 4,000 THB/hour or Dante at 1,800 THB/hour.
Drop-in 500 THB (1 class), day pass 1,000 THB/day (all classes that day), 5- and 10-class packs, 2-week tourist unlimited 2,500 THB, or monthly unlimited. Ambassador Hotel, 3rd floor. Closed weekends.
Many Bangkok BJJ rooms are gi-only academies. Combat Studios is a fight gym that runs dedicated BJJ classes and treats wrestling as part of the same game — stand-up entries, mat returns, and passing after a shot. If you already have a gi school and want better takedowns, the Tuesday/Thursday midday wrestling class is built for that. If you are new to jiu-jitsu, evening BJJ starts with position before submission.
Evening BJJ covers positional control, escapes, guard work, and submissions on proper mats. Midday wrestling-for-BJJ covers singles, doubles, sprawls, front headlock, and how to land in a pass instead of a scramble. Beginners drill movement and frames. Experienced grapplers get live rounds. MMA athletes use the same classes to keep their ground game honest.
BJJ group classes Tuesday and Thursday 19:00–20:00. Wrestling for MMA and BJJ Tuesday and Thursday 12:00–14:00. Friday evening wrestling / open mat 18:00–20:00 for extra rounds. Private lessons Monday–Friday. Book a drop-in or membership online, then walk in.
Black belt and brown belt — both wrestlers, both fought MMA — so the stand-up and the ground match.
