Gung Fu in Tucson

[Chizica]

Hey all. Been quite some time since I posted here. I've moved to Tucson and now that I'm established with a steady job, I'd like to get back to training again.

Anybody familiar with good Gung Fu schools in the Tucson area? Help is much appreciated.


I did find http://www.tucsonshaolin.com/ but not sure how reputable they might be.

There should be a wing chun school in Tuscon that is taught by Sifu Augustine Fong i think.

Chizica,

How could you come back to the forum with a link like that? A pox upon you!!!!

I went to that site and clicked "History." And then I saw what could pass for a dog in a possible 3 suit in the ancestral photos. That was a really bad trip. The Visine is not working!!! And I am way past the recommended dosage.

I did some searching and found a JKD school on Tucson. I do not know them. They may be helpful in linking you to a decent school since they are about combat.

Good Luck,

The school you gave a link to was a Shaolin-Do school. I believe that the thread on their lack of credibility is the longest on the forum.

I would personally stay away from that school.

@ Mickey and gunglihchuan,


Thanks for the info. I was leery about the Shaolin site..I'm aware that there is bad rep for them so I wanted other's 2 cents input.

Once again, my humblest of thanks.
