rum pirate Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Hello all,I live on the south shore of Montreal, Canada. I did a lot of MA when I was younger...like 20 years younger, and I am trying to get back into it. For the last 2 weeks I have been checking out Martial Art clubs and I am having the hardest time finding anyone that does not just cater to kids or are so full of themselves that I can't stop laughing when I see YouTube videos of them...I am open to almost anything..anybody here go to a school in my hood?Cheers
126barnes Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I see kenpo listed as your style, have you looked at JGA kenpo or shaolin Kempo? Barnes
rum pirate Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Hello 126barnes,Thanks for the reply! I listed Kenpo because it was the last style that I was in. I would not mind going back to it, but I can't find a school near me...but as I said, I am willing to try just about any style, as long as it is a good school.

rum pirate Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Would anybody have any experience with this place?http://www.karatefamilial.com/cours/kenpo-karate/Thanks for any help!
sensei8 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Welcome to KF, rum pirate; glad that you're here!! **Proof is on the floor!!!
tallgeese Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 First up, welcome aboard! I can't say I have any experience in that neck of the woods, but don't rule out some non-traditional arts. Boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, Krav, Kali, etc can all provide a martial outlet and are rarely overrun by kids classes. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
Patrick Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Hey rum pirate,I think you might receive a better response if you started a thread in the Getting Started in the Martial Arts forum that included Montreal in the title of the thread, listed what you are looking for in an art and possibly what is available closest to you (though I'm sure Montreal has a lot of schools). Even though you aren't getting started, per se, you will have a better chance of having people in the Montreal area see it. Best of luck.Patrick Patrick O'Keefe - KarateForums.com AdministratorHave a suggestion or a bit of feedback relating to KarateForums.com?

126barnes Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Check out "Chief " Jean guy angell he was a student of the late SGM George Parase (sp) out of New England He is the founder of that style of kenpo in Canada Serveral of his student has opened school all over Quebec and his son runs the Montreal dojo around center city. Probably not close to you but there are serval schools around Montreal. Barnes
