Lookin for one sometime in the summer. Wanted to start figuring out budget and such... but also don't want to get ripped off.

Any ideas?

Agreed. Normally, I'd just be content with a google search, but one of my buddies who practices BJJ in the mid-west was tellin me to spend some time looking into it before jumping into a place-- mentioning training camps that pretty much get away with little to no legit certification.

Given my relative lack of familiarity with most training places, thought it'd be good to get a suggestion or two.

Pick a Gracie Im sure he's got a gym out there. I'm pretty sure Frank Shamrock has a school or two out there as well.

There is a school finder search engine somewhere, but I can't remember where.

*Run's to google

Martial Art School, Martial Arts School, Martial Art Schools, MMA Schools, Mixed Martial Arts Schools

That may help?

There is a Rickson Gracie school in West LA. (somewhere on Wilshire Blvd close to the Brentwood area I believe)

i dont train there, but ive heard its a solid BJJ school, although they do tend to focus a lot on what Bravo's specialties are from what i've heard. a big plus is that i've heard its pretty cheap
