never seem to be able to find the place when I live just half way across town from it. Stupid ballpark.

It's just North of the ballpark. Right across the pond.

Yeah, if you like something that looks like it was built in 1920.

That was kinda the point.

'fraid not. I'm flying in on July 30, but the seminar is pretty intensive. I'm through with the seminar on the 6th and flying out on the 8th. Maybe you could recomend some schools to check out while I'm in San Fran.

There are too many schools to mention to visit in SF. If you are going to be in Stanford area (Palo Alto) there's always Wing Lam in Santa Clara/San Jose. In SF there's Tat Mau Wong, Doc Fai Wong, 15-20 minutes accross the bay in Oakland there's quite a bit also. Can always head to Chinatown in the AM and catch some Tai Chi in the park.

Thanks. Tai chi in the park sounds great too!

If you get down to the armpit of the Bay, you can come by our office. We're in Fremont about 40 miles south. Call first, and if I'm available, I'd be happy to give you a personal tour (that goes for any forum members in town, especially if you bring your wallets )

woah really? thats good to know and that link reminded me to buy my new broadsword

Stuff to check out in SF:

Here's where I'd go:

Check Adam Hsu's website if thier guys still meet in Panhandle park on Saturday mornings - they are very good in my opinion, worth checking out.

Visiting Gene Ching is a good idea.

I bet his teachers school at Omei Kung Fu is a good choice.

I'll call my training buddy Vince, he's kinda anti-social, but a great CMA guy....

Gotta say - buyer beware, there is a lot of MA in this town, but a lot of it is what you'd expect.

Gene, I won't be available until August 7 (a Saturday). I'm staying at the Hilton downtown Friday and Saturday night, but I won't be able to check in until later that day.

I don't suppose the offices are open on Saturday?

MS2: I'll definately check out Adam Hsu's website and the Omei school. I'm not sure what classes will be running that Saturday but I'm curious to see what I can find.

OT for Gene:

Your version of Hero that you sell in your video collection, this is the Chinese version correct? With English Subtitles?

Are you trying to culture up this boy from Tennessee?

[Chang Style Novice]

I know what I'D do in SF, is all.

Besides getting drunk with some friends I haven't seen in ages, I mean.

[MonkeySlap Too]

What we would have done in SF:

Early morning - Chinese breakfast at Silver Restaraunt in Chinatown

Morning: Panhandle park - lots of CMA on Saturday morning - followed by goofing around comparing notes.

Lunch: House of Nanking - if you come to SF, you gotta eat there at least once.

Afternoon - some combination of CMA stuff that needs pre-planning. Maybe just a trip to Alameda Air Force base for workout by bay...

Evening - BBQ w/ my students/training friends/family - complete with viewing of worlds worst martial arts tapes.

Oh yeah, and that death match thing would be in there too

Oh well, next time...
