is there a real school in San Francisco??
I'm looking for a real school in San Francisco.
By "real" I mean a school which:
- Teaches a real fighting style that is effective in real-life situations.
- Has sparring and lots of two-person exercises to actually train people to fight.
- Is run by teachers who are true experts in the style.
- Does not have all kinds of money-grubbing or political issues such as: thousands of dollars required to learn the higher levels, invitation-only acceptance into a sifu program required to learn the 'real stuff', etc.
Anyone have any hints?
I know there are lots of schools in the Bay Area, but I am in San Francisco and am unable to commute to go to class.
I have also been referred in the past to some very worthy teachers who have no school facilities and therefore don't do any sparring. I am convinced that only two-person exercises and sparring will really allow me to be able to put techniques to use if necessary.
Thanks very much for your help!
