Karl-o Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I am looking for a MMA or at least a near on full-contact school. I did Karate for 2 years, and I am sick of all the nonsense. I should be much better by now. I would like to find a school in the upper Montgomery or Lower Frederick County Maryland. I have looked around. There is only one MT/BJJ school, it costs an arm and a leg. I would like to know if I have any options? Does anyone live in the area or used to lie here? Please help!!!!
KoreanTiger30 Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Check out Martial arts USA in Gaithersburg, MD its a great school I trained under the Master there and he really trains you well.1 303-977-8668 is the phone number and the master's name is Bhee Sung Choi he teaches TKD, Hapkido, and Kyuk Too Ki (Korean Kickboxing/street fighting), and Haidong Gumdo Traditional Korean sword art Choi, Ji Hoon Instructor-3rd Dan-Tae Kwon Do 3rd Dan HapkidoInternational Haedong Gumdo FederationKyuk Too Ki (Korean Kickboxing/Streetfighting)
Karl-o Posted August 15, 2003 Author Posted August 15, 2003 I used to train at US MAs it was a total Mcdojo. When did you go there? I am more intrested in full-contact kickboxing or MT or anything down that line. I would not want to take a sword art. sorry.
KoreanTiger30 Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I went Master CHoi' school when he was in Elkton and I wa san assisstant instrucotr at his school this past year when I was at college so I know its not a MCDojo because I have seen Master Choi fail kids and adults three testings in a row just for missing a movement in their forms. When I tested for 2nd dan hapkido its was like a 6 hour test so I now for a fact his school is not a MCDojo.

Karl-o Posted August 15, 2003 Author Posted August 15, 2003 Oh Master Choi is sorta the head of Tien Sahn Pie in the area. US MAs is run by Joe Dunphy a nice guy, but his KF students look too flashy and can not fight. I know i was there.
KoreanTiger30 Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 You mus tbe confusing him with some other master because there is onlyone school there he runs it and there has never been a Joe Dunphry.

Karl-o Posted August 15, 2003 Author Posted August 15, 2003 My mistake I was thinking of US Martial Arts. I may give the place a try. Though I am looking for some high contact sparring and intese training.
KoreanTiger30 Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Well if it is intense training and sparring Master Choi is your candidate he was also a former Korean champion and Captain oand Coach of the Hodori and Korean Tiger team, two of the best teams in Korea. Trust me there are some days I used to come out of their couldnt even walk. So that is defintely an option.

Karl-o Posted August 16, 2003 Author Posted August 16, 2003 I will definatley give the place a looksie. Thank you.
