MMA in Greece

Just wondering how big the scene is over there....

There is no such a thing here...MMA is banned and nobody cares.
99,9% of the population don't know that there is such a sport as MMA.

No way! But there probably into K1 or kick boxing, martial arts etc, ill be in Greece next year for three months and just curious where the best facilities in Athens would be to train.

Kick Boxing of course is much more popular and you can find some nice places to train.
In Athens I only know one Gracie Barra BJJ school.
I have trained with them only ones but they are pretty cool guys.
There are some Pankration schools too..

Go to www.ex-treme.gr and ask the guys on the forum. Most of them are active in MA.
