    25 miles? That's nuts. Really, if it's classes at university that's keeping you from 'professional teaching', practice with your clasmates on your own till spots open up. That won't be for what, a few months? You guys know something about it, so you can watch 2 people fight and make suggestions.

    Yeah,it's too far away to be training there regularly.

    I have a better picture of what is going on now with my teacher and it looks as though he won't be quitting completely (fingers crossed). I was just pretty upset last week at the thought of classes ending and really don't want to have to go somewhere else as I think I would struggle to find a club I like as much as my current one.

    A few of us are getting together at the park tomorrow for some training if the weather holds up. Outdoor training with the English weather system can be interesting

    That's good. Gives you a place to test your Kung Fu out to see what works best for you. Also you'll get to train the different ranges.
    Good luck to you.

    It is really good actually, and interestingly one of my teachers studied kung fu- immediately showed us an application of one of our moves in getting someone to the ground

    It also seems I am more confident at groundwork,possibly ,than my stand up. We'll see how it goes anyway as it's hard to tell after such a short time.

    if you really like your current teacher, you may stick with him or her, no matter what.

    things may always come/turn around.

    Starting over is easy I've done it several times, no big deal. And you're never really starting over from scratch.

    Hi people

    The exact same thing has just happened to me. My sifu does run other classes but they are too far away (I travelled 2 hours to my last one).

    I really dont want to train in anything other than mantis so I am basically biding my time in a hope that he might restart the class.

    I live in london so there isn't a lack of places to practice. As this is the case I am basically reworking to perfection everything that I know.

    I think that this is a feesible option if you have gathered enough material over the last 3 years.

    Also you could join a muay thai club or something simular just to keep the sparring/partner work up.
