A fellow, actually female, martial artist is visiting and asked me to try and find a school that she could visit while she was over there.
Any recommendations ????

TIA,

Matt

One big fat :rolleyes: !

Oso - England and Scotland have more than a couple of schools. They teach more than a couple of things, too. But they are kind of old fashioned - she'll have to pretend she's a man.

They are two countries, too. Not that big, but try visiting a school in Edinburgh from London... Any more info?

Matt: no problem, hope it helps you guys out :) Not too sure about any Emperors longfist or anything around here... i could try and find out if u like? My resources are limited, i think ur best bet is probably to contact the BCCMA or one of the other ppl.
