There is also the Samurai dojo in Portland which teaches Sosuishitsu ryu kumi uchi (jujutsu) and Koshi No Mawari (iaijutsu). It's a classical Japanese style dating back to the 1600's.

 

Do a Google search. You should be able to find it.

I trained with some of the guys at the Straight Blast gym in Portland. They are good guys and pretty much know what they are talking about. There is also Randy Coture's gym in Rockwood (east Portland) if you want some good ground and pound.

What classes did you take? I've done a little reading about them but haven't signed up yet.

Yeah, that's what I heard too ... they seem to throw traditionalism out the window if it serves little or no purpose.

 

I've been going back and forth about either joining a straight blast gym or wing chun place for the longest time. Money and travel has sorta limited my ability to actually go to one or the other but at this point I should probably just choose one and see how i like it.

i take jujitsu, but my instructor takes wing chung and he says wing chun mixes with grappling MA's beautifully.

the funny thing is that i know im wrong and i know your right, yet you keep argueing like it will change my mind. you should really know, you dont have to be right to win:)

NorthWest fighting arts is where I train at. SBG is ok, but they seem to be almost purely grappling and MMA oriented. Where I train at, you get grappling, muaythai, Kali, JKD, silat and you can even train in the "internal" arts (which I don't care for). https://www.northwestfighting.com

 

If you go, let them know I sent ya!

How is a grappling and MMA program different from NW fighting's approach? (From my very limited point of view the two gyms still sound very similar).
