Some Advice Please

[buddhadragon]

Im a 2nd Gup in TSD. The problem I have is two fold. Ive moved to St. Louis MO. I cant find any TSD instruction in a resonable driving distance. I started training late in life, Im 52. So I was looking for suggestions for training in a different MA system. I am interested in Chinese styles, but Im not ruling out anything. I would appreciate any advice given..thanks!

My suggestion would be to check out the phone book or look around online for CMA schools in your area, and go for some visits. Most places worth their salt will let you at least watch a class if not participate in one for no charge. If you find some you really like, you may want to post here with some names and see if anyone knows of the person, as the community here is pretty large.

Hope this helps a little! :)

Hi,

Found a WTSD school in St Louis on a google search, don't know how close it would be to your new home. If they are not close, they may know someone who is. Here is their web site. http://sfasports.net/Martial_Arts.htm

Thanks, I had seen this school before while searching the net. I was'nt to excited about it but have decided to email them an inquiry. Thanks again

What schools do you have in your area? I'd start off by looking at the ones near you, seeing if anything catches your eye. If there is something that you're interested in, head down and talk to the instructor, ask some questions about the school, watch a class, or if its available, take a trial class.

Once you've checked out what in your area, decide which one you like the best.

Good luck on your search! :ultracool

Yes, it's helpful to know what you have to choose from locally, though I imagine you have many options in St. Louis.

Yes, I too suggest to check out the phone book and visit each school. I was 43 when I had started yet another martial art.

The best advice anyone can give you is pick the right art for you that is available in your area, go to the school have a sit down with the main instructor have all your question answered see if he is willing to train you and go day to day.

[47MartialMan]

yes, chances are that he may see your ability and expereince. However, yours may wind up better than his/some.

I would like to recommend Kung Fu San Soo. I don't know if there are any schools out there however.
