Where is your MA school?


Recommended Posts

Where is your MA school located?

 

By that I mean, is it in a shopping mall or in someone's garage/house or a rented hall (such as a church hall) or is it in a purpose-built place? Or somewhere else?

Ours is in a strip-mall next to a grocery store and a couple restaurants. At least we can get dinner in between classes :)

the local church hall.

 

it's kinda odd cos there's little kiddies pics all over the wall...

 

the local cub scouts use the hall as well....

post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are.

The first school I was apart of was an old Elk's Lodge that had been abandon by the Elk's members, weather the city took ownership I do not know. My second school from what I've seen looks to be part of a strip mall.

You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct.

^wow...grocery store basement??

 

Yeah, it was a small neighborhood grocery with a cement floor and walls in the basement. Not so good for breakfall and takedown practice. :roll:

Private tuition mainly in my sifus apartment which is well equipped for Wing Chun practice. Also in a sports academy where my sifu holds his regular classes.

Real traditional martial arts training is difficult to find.....most dojos in the west are Mcdojos....some are better and some are worst....but they are what they are....do you train in one?

Or else...perfect for breakfall and takedown practice! I mean hey, if you can take a fall on cement and not get injured, you can fall anywhere! :wink:

 

My school rents space in a building which also contains one or two other offices/stores (I wouldn't call it a strip mall, since there's really only 3 businesses...) There are also apartments directly above the dojo. (It's in an older "downtown" area.) Looks a little run-down from the outside, but it's quite nice inside. :D
