Hi guys
Im 18 years old and a former junior boxer with 19 fights (12-6-1) Boxing was fun but not something I wanted to make a long term commitment too and plus my coach went off to find himself before he died. I am moving to Colorado anyways for college and I always wanted to try a martial art so i thought now was the perfect time. So now I'm off to browse the boards looking for the right one.

Welcome, and happy posting! :wavey:

Are you going to CU-Boulder? If so (or anywhere else in Boulder, if it comes to that) there are lots of MA classes in Boulder and in the surrounding area, including several clubs run through the university. Do you have any idea what style you're interested in?

Welcome! Here is one website for Bob Orlando whose school is
out of Denver. If you are interested in what he does contact
him because I am sure that he has people near to Boulder!
Here is his website link : http://www.orlandokuntao.com/index.html

Welcome aboard!

With your boxing experience, you'll probably fit in quite nicely when you continue on with your martial arts training.

There's a USSD (United Studios of Self Defense) in Boulder:
1676 30th Street
Boulder, CO 80301
(303) 444-9042
email: boulder@ussd.com

I've been with them since 1998 in San Diego & love it. It's Shaolin Kempo, pretty much a mix of ju jitsu, karate, kung fu, great tournaments, opportunities to visit China and train with the Shaolin monks. It's worth checking out! Good luck in your search
