Martial Arts โ€” Keep Calm Community Barcelona

English-Speaking Martial Arts in Barcelona

Boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai and BJJ โ€” a brand new Keep Calm group, just getting started.

Worth knowing: This page covers martial arts broadly โ€” boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai and BJJ โ€” under Keep Calm's single "Combat (Boxing/MMA)" group. It's brand new with no set schedule yet; join now to be among the first to know when sessions begin.

About Martial Arts with Keep Calm

Keep Calm is starting a martial arts community, covering boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai and BJJ under one group rather than running a separate one for every discipline. It's brand new, so we'll be straightforward about that: there's no set schedule yet, and sessions haven't started running week to week.

What exists right now is the WhatsApp group itself and the intent to get people training together at gyms and training spaces across Barcelona. If you train already, or want to start, joining now means you'll be one of the first to hear when something is organised, and you'll have a say in what gets set up.

This isn't a beginners-only or experts-only space โ€” the plan is for it to work for anyone from complete beginners curious about boxing or BJJ to people who already train regularly and want an English-speaking crowd to train alongside.

Why join

๐ŸŒฑ Ground floor

The group is just getting started โ€” join now and help shape what gets organised and when.

๐ŸฅŠ One group, five disciplines

Boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai and BJJ all live in the same community rather than being split across separate groups.

๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Gyms across Barcelona

Training is planned to happen at gyms and training spaces around the city, not one fixed venue.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ All in English

The group chat runs in English, useful if navigating a Spanish- or Catalan-speaking gym on your own feels daunting.

All of them, in one shared WhatsApp group โ€” boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai and BJJ, rather than four or five separate groups.

Has training actually started?

Not yet โ€” this group is brand new and still getting organised. Join now and you'll be among the first to know when sessions begin.

Do I need experience?

No. The plan is for this to work for complete beginners as well as people who already train regularly.

How much will it cost?

Not decided yet, since sessions haven't started โ€” likely to depend on the gym or space used. There's no Keep Calm membership fee in any case.
