Shaui Chiao, a long shot!

[Cipher]

Okay, I know this will be a hard question to answer but, does anyone know of a place that teaches Shaui Chiao in the Louisville KY area? I've tried my darndest to find something on the net but you guys always seem to know were things are located. I would like to learn some grapling to SUPLEMENT my Wing Chun training and before I think about turning to the darkside BJJ (Joke) I would like to look for a Chinese grapling class.

Here is another horrible question, if there is nothing were I live what is everyones view on using a Video tape to learn? I have always learned hands on in a class or personal instruction do I don't know what to think of a video tape, of course I would not learn the bulk of my training from a tape but just in certain areas. Oh-well, any help would be great.

sell out. step to the darkside. seriously. The BJJ class may also have good Judo players that teach (mine does) then you learn both throwing and ground grappling. judo and shuai chiao are extremely similar.

If you can't find a SC school and absolutley don't wanna go to the bjj school, try to find a good taiji school.

Ha ha, I don't mind BJJ, i think it is neat too, not as much Kung Fu of course, but I think it is good to be well rounded in all areas. I have been reading some of the Shaui Chiao material and have been interested in it anyways so I thought I would try and find a school around here if I can.

Don´t go to BJJ,it really sucks big time (;) ):p oops,my mask slides,to reveal my darkside..;)

If you can´t find a Shuai Chia kwoon,and still find the art interesting,a tape (books etc.) could come to play.I probably don´t even have to say that...you knew it already? OK,it was previously said.
You would still get the idea of what it looks like,is about,maybe what it feels like (sorry,no falling on your head included ;) )
If you would actually train,tapes could give "fill" your training a bit more,clear things up (so when&if you enter training someday,excessive instruction could come in handy)
That´s this about help-
it´s 40$

The closest Shuai Chiao school to you is in Columbus, OH at the University there.

We hold seminars a few times a year here in Chicago. They could work provided you find a good Judo school or can find some good "throw dummies" to play with. I recommend the BJJ guys for throw dummies.

it is rare to find it presented separately from a system. try some shaolin schools like hung gar or whatever is in your area and ask if they will teach it. or traveling to a weekend seminar will give you something to train on.
