I have not had much luck finding any schools that teach Shaolin based martial arts near Sacramento California area. Anyone here know of any? I found a couple, Choy Li Fut schools, but I feel their prices for classes are real high per month ($200). I am interested in animal styles and Shoalin martial arts always have many in their training. I am not familiar with non Shaolin based schools that offer animal styles but if there are, and near Sacramento, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Choy lay fut is a good method, who are the teachers, are they connected to Tat Mau Wong?

$200 a month does seem high, I agree. But if the instruction is good, it's a very good method, and does have some internal five animals material.

I don't have a comparison on pricing for that area, but I concur with FC, CLF is a good system as well, provided the instruction is legit.

One of the schools, actually 3 of them, all owned by Sifu - Alan Hubbard. He has 3 schools around the Sacramento area. $180 per month. The other school, did not tell me the owners name, so don't know. They were not listed on the Choy Li Fut web site. They wanted $225 per month. Add fuel mileage and I am well over $300. Too much for me.

That is a chunck of change, even for California. I don't know anything about Alan Hubbard.

Do you actually live in Sacramento, or outside in one of the other cities? Are you too far to travel to San Francisco? There's a lot of good schools here, but it would be a real commute to do so...

I am up in the foothills about an hour drive to Sacramento. SF would be like a 3.5 hour drive for me one way. Too much. <grin>

Sacramento is as far as I can go. Prefer closer of course but figuring Sac is the major area here, that is where I would be luckiest.
