CMA in KC

[Alex]

Just testing the water, but, for a long time I have wanted to take Muay Thai and due to my living situation (Stuck in Kansas City for now!), that probably won't be happening anytime soon. Now I know CMA are generally a far stride from Thai Boxing, but it's really the only other martial arts I'd be interested in. So to be long winded : Is anyone here from KC or do they know of reputable gyms in the KC are and what do they offer?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know a thing about any of them except I think that Lee's is pretty funny, it is not a Chinese sir name but an American first name (good marketing though). But I know nothing about any of these schools, maybe someone else does.

That link actually led me to these 3 schools. I don't know if anyone here has heard of these schools, or knows if they are pretty traditional (something I am looking for), or knows of thier reputation. Maybe some of the more knowledgable guys here can take a peak and tell me what you think. I'm definately new and honestly don't know what to be looking for.

I'm not personally familiar with any of these schools, but I pass the Midwest Chinese Martial Arts Center on the way home from work. They must be heavy into the tournament scene, because they have a LOT of trophies in the window. I've also seen them training outside in the parking lot on nice days. The KC Taichi school is in Raytown, which is quite a drive unless you live on the east side.

The Midwest Chinese Martial Arts Center was the topic of another thread.

CoryKS, where and what do you train? Just out of curiousity - I know Johnson County pretty well - what other schools do you recommend to go to, or steer clear of?

Master LI's school. I don't know if Overland Park is near KC or not. He is good.

I'm learning kenpo at AKKA in Olathe. I don't know anything about other schools in the area, but I've started noticing them more when I'm driving. Let us know if you do find a CMA school that you like.
