Thread: School in NYC(traditional/application)

  1. #1

    School in NYC(traditional/application)

    Hello, this is my first post on these forums. I am interested in find a instructor in NYC. I have a bit of martial arts experience and have won a number of competitions in judo and tae kwon do when I was in my teens. I have since taken a break from martial arts. I would now like to rejoin the world of martial arts, but now with something a bit more "artful".

    I am look for a instructor that will train me in traditional forms and application. Being in NYC I have seen a lot of schools and I know most of them aren't really authentic and would just rather take my monthly fee and slap a belt on me every now and then. I am not looking to get "Belts" I am looking to learn a art with roots in combat.

    thanks in advance for your help,
    John

    Searching for Mantis Sifu

    You will need to see Sifu Raul Ortiz he is in NYC and will do a great job of teaching you good Mantis Basics and if you stay around long enough some very nice forms as well.

    Looks like we were posting at the same time. Your note wasn't there when I was writing mine up.

    I have never met Sifu Chuy, so I can't comment on his instruction... only on his lineage.

    Good luck in your search.

    School in NYC

    I do not know if that is his academy name as I met Mr. Ortiz many many years ago and we had talked and got along pretty good and we exchanged some training pointers and forms but this was a real long time ago. As for the other gentleman who's name was mentioned I would study under him as well as he should be very great as well. My first Master when I was in Vietnam was GrandMaster Chui Chuk Kai and I loved the training and later studied under his disciples when he left, then I went to South Korea and studied under GrandMaster Fung and then many years later under another Master in Korea. If you can find anyone who learned from them or one of their students taught by them you will be very well trained.
    I wish you luck in your pursuit, Take care and be well.

    Agreed - my comments regarding the Brooklyn school was not intended to disclude the aforementioned sifus or schools.

    What martial art do you study and what criteria do you think a
    student should have for free sparring? Do you think it is fair for you to
    judge our fighting abilities without knowing anything about us? Have you
    visited our school? Spoken to our Sifu or students? Please feel free to
    come by and observe a class before making such remarks.
