isshinryu5toforever Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 depends on where you are. You might be able to see if there is a directory for martial arts schools, or if the type of jujitsu you want to do has a directory through one of their organizations. He who knows others is wise.

ShotokanKid Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 What you can do is type in your zip code and martial arts and then see what the search engine brings up "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 A combination of the internet, phone book, word-of-mouth, and visiting is usually best. When you think about it, you're about to invest a good deal of time (possibly money) if you're going to train there for any extended period. Therefore, you want to make sure you really get what you're looking for. Sometimes just looking at phone book ads or websites can be enough to dissuade you from some places (a critical eye for the martial arts will take you places). Word-of-mouth is usually best accomplished by simply asking (politely) other instructors or students when you visit their places. Most will give you somewhat of an honest appraisal of other places to train. Then you can sort of pick up a general pattern based on what you hear and see. Since you're in New York, you should be able to find plenty of places if you're near the city. Also, don't discount a place just because it isn't a stone's throw away. I go to a place that's a 2-hour drive away and couldn't be any happier (unless of course, it was closer).

searcher Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Two words, Yellow Pages. They have everything. Take down names and numbers then go shopping. You might try and contact USA boxing for a boxing club in your area. They should have a list of boxing clubs in your area. "let those who shed blood with me be forever known as my brother."
