Tombstone Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 definately bring someone. remember that this IS the internet and thousands are harmed by stuff like this every year. and make sure someone knows where your going and when you'll be back.

monkeygirl Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Bring a friend and your self-defense training If you can, find out what dojo this person is from, if he currently has one. Get a phone number for it, and ask them if they have a student by that name. If he freaks out that you're taking these precautions, that's a bad sign. He should be understanding and cooperative. Good luck and be careful 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G95champ Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I don't know if it looks like a good club I don't see what real harm it could do. However if he wants to meet you in the street well then stay in the car. LOL. I think I would meet him fist. Maybe just stop by his club and watch classes and get to know him. When you cross styles you run into problems when sparring. Some don't teach leg kicks other do, some don't throw others do, When grappeling some usee PP others don't. Bottom line its a good idea to know who you going to train with. However finding sparring partners on line is not a good idea. IMO. (General George S.
