badclams Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 On the way home from the gym in a lil strip mall "KEMPO" ! Lead, follow, or get the hell outta my way !
ninjanurse Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I heard about the school from my son's friend who we took in for a few months. He studied it with his uncle when he was younger. I had never heard of the style so I googled it and found a post about it on KF made by karatekid1975. I pm'd her and it turns out she was a student at the mainschool! The rest is history...I have developed a great friendship with her and have opened my own charter school. Thanks Laurie and KF!!!!!!

Leopard claw Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Mmmmmmmmmm, got into Judo at the YMCA when I was a kid, my parents thought it would be good for me (they were right)! Took Isshin-Ryu with one of my sisters, she later got into Shotokan (still is). Then I went and took White Lotus Gung Fu from Sifu Douglas Wong from a friends recommendation. Moved, started and still taking Shorei-Ryu. How many nuns could a nunchuk chuck if a nunchuk could chuck nuns?
GMac Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I found out through a flyer that my son brought home from school, glad he wasn't sick thst day
pineapple Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I wasn't happy with the school that I was training at and a friend kept telling me to try a certain school and he was sure that I would be a lot happier. It turns out that he was rught! What works works

Eventhough I'm no longer there, I'd still take a class or two or three with ya. Let me know when is a good time Laurie F
jaymac Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I had known this school existed in a nearby city and heard great things about the instructor. My excuse i guess was that I didn't want to deal with the drive. 6 years later, the same instructor opened a school in my area. I joined and was hooked the first day. Man, was I foolish. I could have had 6 years of training under my belt with this great organization, but I thought it was too far to travel. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.
tke010 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 You need to ask yourself what you want out of your style\ dojo \ Instructor? (self defense, sport, cardio,...whatever it is that gets you to train...)I stopped into several martial arts schools and talked with the Instructor(s). I got a really good gut feeling at my current school (instructor(s), other students, style,...) and stayed. (I'm never leaving )I have been training there for over 6 years now Fear does not exist in this Dojo, does it! No Sensai!!!Pain does not exist in this Dojo, does it! No Sensai!!!
KarateEd Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I learned about my current school from a friend of mine (we had been in TSD classes together until the school closed years earlier). His Dad knew the instructor through his work. Ed Ed
cnada Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I picked 'other'. Here's the reason why:I've been interested in the martial arts for some time, so when my mom offered to pay for lessons, I jumped at the chance. My mom found a YMCA that was offering TKD. When my instructor switched Y's, I went with him. I'm still with him, by the way! If you're not laughin', you're not livin'!--Carlos Mencia
