Like you all, I also would love to find an ITF school in LA. I have trained ITF up in Northern California at an excellent school and miss it down here. If anyone else is interested in training, please let me know. A friend of mine is a very well-trained 5th degree black belt in ITF and would be willing to start a school if we could find a place to train. She is classic ITF, humble, and an outstanding person to train with. Fewer things could make me more happy than to start training ITF again. By the way, I'm in Santa Monica. Hope to hear from some ITFers! KarateDoc
