Blue Dragon Mixed Martial Arts Academy

Blue Dragon Mixed Martial Arts Academy is up on the fourth floor on 80ft Road in Koramangala 6th Block. Being right above Carrot Restaurant means you usually catch the smell of food while you are trying to finish your drills, which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how hungry you are. The Sony World Junction is just down the street, so the noise from the horns and the buses is pretty much constant in the background. It is a bit of a climb up the stairs, and the space isn't huge, but we make it work with the mats we have. The gear is a bit worn out and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it gets the job done for the guys who come in. We spend a lot of time mopping the floor because it gets humid in here fast. There is always a pile of shoes by the door and someone usually forgets their water bottle or a hand wrap at least once a week. The lights are those bright tubes that hum a little bit. It’s just a basic academy where people come to sweat and learn a few things. We don't have fancy lockers or anything like that, just some hooks on the wall and a lot of honest effort from the neighborhood crowd who stops by after school or work.
