Practice Sessions
We train regularly in London and Brighton.
No London practice on Saturday 19th June
because the club is hoping to participate in an event in Brighton there will be no practice on Saturday 19th June.
Mid-week wrestling practices at Jon's Gym
Jon has recently started running wrestling practice sessions at his gym on Mondays and Thursdays, starting at 7pm. Although these sessions are not run by LAW, members get a discounted rate of £5 (this has been increased a bit to cover coaching costs)
Jon's gym is called "Kinetic" and can be found at 555 Liverpool Road, N7 8NP (see map here). The nearest tube station is Holloway Road.

Go in through the Northampton Square entrance (up some steps) and ask for directions at the security desk. We hold our practice sessions in the Martial Arts Hall on the lower ground level. Get in touch before you come, otherwise security may not let you in!
Parking: being central london you may find it easier and possibly cheaper to use public transport. However if you do want to come by car, the cheapest our members have found is around Long Lane by Barbican Tube Station, which is about a 15 minute walk from the university. Last time we checked, the cost looked to be £2.00 for all day Saturday, and charges only apply from 8am to 11am.
