I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the Schools/Instructors board, but I'm hoping that I'm posting this in the right place.
I'll be moving to Louisville next year for an internship position and am interested in building my knowledge of kung fu. I'm currently doing Shaolin-Tao in Atlanta, but I don't find that system to fulfill what I'd like to get out of a martial art, and am thus interested in switching arts. I'm open to all forms of CMA available in Louisville, but being a traditionalist and having lived in East Asia extensively, I'd like a sifu who's intentionally tough to weed out the less determined, and one who maintains a curriculum and mindset that hasn't been modified by the move to the West. Essentially, a no-nonsense type who teaches CMA the way it was meant to be taught: for combat (as opposed to for tournament sparring, or for showmanship). Does anyone have any recommendations that they could make?
