Hi Guys

True, but it's never too late . Plus the jkd will continue when they find somewhere

 

Just show up? Cool if I'd known it was that easy, lol

 

thanks for the advice

Actually I have been focusing a lot on weigh lifting and circuit training. I have a heavy bag and I practice my basic strikes/blocks there. There isn't a school within 150miles of me right now. however I will be moving to Longview Texas soon, so if anyone knows of a good school there I would appreciate it.

B.A.

Was just about to post the same thing!

 

Where did you train in Yoshukai? Under what organisation?

I've been training in WYKKO Yoshukai for about a year and a half, and I love it.

 

Granbury Texas, under sensei Taylor. World Yoshukai Karate Kobudo Organization.

The thing I didn't like about it was the blocking. its all very choppy and they don't teach u any combos its all "block and go back to starting position" Then they throw me in the ring with a black belt and I get the stuffing beat out of me cause I cant block his heavy punches.
That's why I got into wing chun because their blocking system looked more substantial.

 

Jeez That Olson guy looks good. Thanks A whole heap'n lot. I'll have to check that out. I cant believe you knew were Longview was

 

Granbury is just outside of Dallas/Fort Worth, so where are you that you're so far away from MA schools? (Though I do understand if you don't wish to give your location)

 

Boxing is even better, the idea of moving your head out of the way of an incoming attack should not be underestimated . Wing chun offers some good principals I guess but there seems to be a severe lack of actual hard contact sparring and a strong affection for authenticity and form over function.

BA, please review MAP's policy on masked profanity. You agreed to it when you signed up. And it prohibits things like you wrote in your experiences of blocking. Thank you.

 

I live about 1.5hrs west of Granbury. Fort worth is 3hrs both ways. I just don't have the time...

 

Please forgive my language. I am used to un-moderated chat rooms. It will not happen again.

 

No worries. It happens.

 

Theres a lot of choice in abilene -

plus this place has a great name - http://zombiebjj.com/class-schedule-2/

 

Thanks man I"ll have to look into those. I didn't know there was anything in Abilene, like I don't even think they have a Walmart, but its been awhile since ive been there maybe its grown since then.

 

That's interesting. This is not the case with my dojo.

 

Fusen probably has no idea where Longview is. His internet searching skills are legit though. Has solid fundamentals.
