Do you live in or near NY?

I get together with a few friends once or twice a week for some friendly play.

We have different backgrounds but there's a lot of cross over now after about a year of this.

Go to an open mat night somewhere. It's not hard to find people to spar.

...on a Thursday night you should stop by our place.

We always welcome people interested in fighting our format (Kuoshu).

Keep in mind our moto is "show skill not ego".

"they're underground, like ronald reagan."

Sounds like the beginning of a rhyme...

San Shou.
San Da.
Go to a muay thai school for a visit if you cant find any san shou or san da, there will certainly be someone there who is willing to fight.

Thank you for your responses.

EvolutionFist, if I can manage to get myself together (injuries and healthwise), I will definitely be in touch.

Thank you all.

Ask around students in the area. There are always groups who meet informally to spar, but it's not advertised so you have to find out about it on the personal level. This can be a real mixed bag in terms of the kinds of people you will meet, but if you find a good group of people, the benefits will be well worth the effort.

Going to a formal class under a style and teacher different than your own and asking people if they want to fight is not ideal.

It's kind of been alluded to but I'll just say it outright:

Why do you care if it's "for gong fu".

A proper "fight club" should not be for any particluar style of group of styles. Just go and throw down with the Karate/MMA/Muay Thai/DragonballZ guys.
