    Looking for a BJJ school in austin

    I am looking for a BJJ school in Austin. My background is about 6 months of Shaolin-Do, but I am looking for a school that is a more specific in its training.

    Others schools I am looking into are Eastwind Training Hall and Kung Fu Exchange( 7* ) - any information on these schools would be appreciated as well.

    Thanks

    These guys are on Spicewood Springs. Don't know 'em myself, but they seem to have the right credentials.

    That Vandry school is probably your best bet up in Austin. I've also heard very good things about Eastwind, but I don't have any experience personally with either one. Good luck.
    Your intelligence is surpassed only by your ignorance.

    You are more likely to fall down the stairs and break your neck if you live in a house with stairs. You are more likely to be in a car accident if you drive to work. You are more likely to be kicked in the nuts or punched in the nose if you practicing the martial arts. - Judge Pen

    Does Mantis or Tiger appeal to certain body types?

    Does Mantis or Tiger appeal to certain body types? Tran is tall and thin or wiry , and I myself am not as tall but more muscular. Does Tiger style KF (East wind) or 7* Mantis (KFXchange) suite either of our body types more than the other? Does it really matter, other then personal preference? Now throw BJJ in the mix, and how does BJJ compare body type-wise? Thanks All!

    My personal choce was east wind, but because it is a family style you can't continue your studies anywhere else. My only experience with the school is from my dad who studied under Grandmaster ling with Don finley.

    but now i'm joining the marines so i'll have to find someplace else.
