Chicago Kung Fu Instruction near the Loop

[schookp]

Hello

I want to learn Kung fu. I live in Chicago and I am limited by time and the CTA (graduate student). If anyone has a lead on a reputable instructor willing to take a student and who teaches ~20-30 min away from the Loop/Streeterville please let me know.

Thanks- I spent ~5 hours today doing some research but my experience is that my more impressive instructors are rarely in the phone book or have web pages.

Thanks
P.

Yeah, it's hard to weed out the good ones. I'll ask around and let you know if I get any good leads. I don't know of anything off the top of my head. Is there any particular style you're interested in?

I don't know how far chinatown is from the loop, but there is a Choy lay fut school there. The school is called Ng family martial arts and is taught by Sifu Sam Ng. It is a fantastic school with great instruction. Definitely check it out. The website is ngfamilymartialarts.com.

Sam Ng would be a great choice is the logistics worked out.

Ah! I forgot about that! Sean was so kind as to recommend it to me when I was returning to the area, I investigated it and found it to be an excellent recommendation. Alas, too far from where I moved in suburbs.

Yeah Sean recommended him to me also and I have been there for about 3 years now, off and on due to some health problems. But definitely great training!

schoolkp- If you are that limited on time, the ng family is open on sat and sunday too and you can get in a few hours each day if that is an option for you. but they do have class during the week too.

Tsai's International Kung Fu is a very good school. Grandmaster Tsai's son runs the school. GM Tsai is now in China I believe and left the school in Chicago for his son to run. Call them. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Don't know if this is near you or if they still teach your art, but check it out. I'm familiar with the owner and his credentials are excellent.
