Yeah come and join us. The club has the world champion 'Vince Soberano' teaching Muay Thai and then there's 2 Brazilian Jiujitsu black belts both students of Pedro Sauer. The core of the club is Brazilian Jiujitsu and Muay Thai, which are both taught 6 days a week. There are other classes there though too, Akido, Chinese Wrestling, MMA and rock climbing.
The School is located between 大望路 (Dawang Lu) and 国贸 (Guomao) underground stations on the South East of the city. The best thing about the club it's got a very nice atmosphere. No knuckle heads. You'll learn the skills and still be a nice educated language loving human being when you're there and when you leave.
Have a look at the website:

I work as an translator in Beijing, and no one (colleagues, friends) dares speak to me in English (unless they themselves are foreigners). At this point, I would be offended if a non-foreigner did. But it took a lot of hard work and painful embarrassment to get there. If I had to do it again, I'm not sure I would have; yet to give up now, would be even more of a waste.
