IcemanSK Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 He may be at Wheatley Taekwon-do Lompoc CA.3839 Constellation Rd. Lompoc CA(805)-733-4551If not he may be able to tell you where the Santa Barbara Location is.Thank you for that. I called the number. Its a medical office where I can leave messages for the school. When I told the receptionist that I'm looking for a school more than 140 miles away, she was speechless.I'll keep you guys posted. Being a good fighter is One thing.

tufrthanu Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Lompoc is 140 miles from Santa Barbara? According to Mapquest its only 52 miles away. BTW why is a medical office taking messages for a martial arts school? Long Live the Fighters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanSK Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Lompoc is 140 miles from Santa Barbara? According to Mapquest its only 52 miles away. BTW why is a medical office taking messages for a martial arts school?Sorry for the confusion. I'm 140 miles from Lompoc. SB is closer to me, but still a hike. The school owner is a physician that's why the message goes to his office during the day. Its quite odd.I found a guy in my town that's a 5th Dan ITF, but doesn't teach anymore. He told there's a group of them in my town. I'm trying to talk him into "gettin' the band back together." We'll see what happens.Thanks again for your help. Being a good fighter is One thing.

IcemanSK Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 OH ok yeah long way to drive for a class. Good luck on the local ITF'ers though.I'm also speaking w/ some WTF folks (Old School Chung Do Kwon...My 1st school) where the closest school is more than 200 miles from me! The longest I ever traveled to train on a regular basis was an hour & a half (one way). I would make these trips regularly now, however. Being a good fighter is One thing.

Newcomer USTF Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Sorry for the long delay. Hopefully, you're still checking this.YES, there is an ITF school in central LA. It's located in Westwood at the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center. That's essentially on Motor and Pico but the entrance is just south of Pico on Motor.The instructors are long time ITF/USTFers -- Me, Ed Newcomer (V Dan) and Ms. Allison Ober (III Dan). Classes are Monday and Thursdays from 7 pm - 8:30 pm. Please see my website: http://members.aol.com/newcomerustf/Anyone interested in training the General Choi did is welcome.

rambone13 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 the http://members.aol.com/newcomerustf/ is no longer working, who's got information on ITF dojang/schools in the LA area ?I go to one but it's not 'officially' registered in one of the several official available, got a black belt following itf standards but don't know how to get it certified or recognized for real......i had talk to Mr newcomer a while back about my son. Mr newcomer was training at a place in orange county, but that has been closed for a while now. i remember he was talking about possibly starting up classes again in westwood, but work responsibilities i think prevented that. He's the man to talk to anyway, he's the California director for the ustf. you can check the ustf site or i think i contacted him through his youtube page. where are you training at in LA, we're in the san fernando valley.

KarateDoc Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
