Where to train MMA in the Aveiro area

MMA in the Aveiro area: what to weigh up

The Aveiro district has more and more people getting into combat sports, but it is not always easy to find an academy that brings together everything that matters: quality training, several disciplines and a demanding environment that is not hostile.

If you are looking for MMA in the Aveiro area, it pays to look closely at the options, and to realise that some of the best ones might be a little further north than you expect.

What to look for in a good MMA academy

• Training structured by level. A good gym welcomes beginners without humiliating them and keeps challenging those who already have experience.
• More than one discipline. MMA draws on wrestling, kickboxing, muay thai and luta livre. Training all of it in one place speeds up your progress.
• Coaches with real experience, who compete or build competitors, and who know how to correct you.
• The environment. Respect, discipline and focus count as much as the physical side. That is what makes you come back.

Badazz Station is closer than you think

In Arrifana, Santa Maria da Feira, Badazz Station is around 25 to 35 minutes from central Aveiro via the A1/A29. If you live in the north of the district, it can be even quicker.

You train MMA, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Luta Livre in the same space, with coaches led by Peter Ligier and classes for every level.

Try it before you decide

The best way to choose an academy is not the distance on a map, it is how the first session feels. That is why your first class is free, with no commitment.

Check the schedule, pick a day and book your trial class. There is more on the training MMA in the Aveiro area page.
