What can you tell me about the last two schools?

What do I need to know that the web sites don't say?

Who do I not know about?

What Non CMA is good in SA?

[doug maverick]

mna get ready to be surrounded by a bunch of fat mexican chicks. if ur into that good for you, if not just stick to training man just stick to training.

[Oso]

Sifu Kirk would be my choice, hands down.

[Water Dragon]

I'm not sure if Kirk is actually teaching. I've heard rumors, but not seen anything. Lot of good BJJ in SA. We have about 3-4 blackbelts. We have top notch Judo down here as well as a gret Muay Thai gym. I've been trying to look for or start a free hand tui shou group, no luck yet. PM when you get down, I'll buy ya a beer.

[zhugeliang]

What Non CMA is good in SA?

Good you're looking for non CMA, because real CMA isn't coming to San Antonio anytime soon

[SanHeChuan]

Good you're looking for non CMA, because real CMA isn't coming to San Antonio anytime soon

This comming from a guy who thinks shaolin monks are the real CMA


Yeah the Shuai Jiao is at the top of my list. I also want to check out the 8step in Boerne, too bad classes are on the same day.

I found out that the The Little Praying Mantis Kung Fu Academy teaches Wah Lum Mantis, but it got bad reviews from the people on this site. My current sifu teaches the Wahlum basics before the 7 star so I'll check it out anyway.

I may have to do the Cha Chuan or some BJJ/judo to fill out my schedule. I'm a kung fu every day kind of guy.

Is the Alamo Judo club any good? It looked cheep

There seems to be alot of MA on Vance Jackson and West ave between 410 and I10. I'll have to concentrate my home search around there.

What is Shadow fist, traditional Thai martial arts?

mna get ready to be surrounded by a bunch of fat mexican chicks. if ur into that good for you, if not just stick to training man just stick to training.

I love me some Mexican chicks but I prefere my fat chicks to be White.

[Water Dragon]

Alamos my club, look me up when you get to town. Shadow Fist is part of Sinalap, the Muay Thai academy.

[SanHeChuan]

Will do,

did the alamo judo club website
expire overnight because it's not coming up for me today?

Shadow Fist is part of Sinalap, the Muay Thai academy.

yeah but what is it?



KFM San Antonio Roll call!

Where's Chud, Pork Chop, Vankuen, xcakid, Iman01

[zhugeliang]

You can find Pork Chop on his All Aboard the Pork Chop Express thread in here, pretty good read on his work out routine.

[Pork Chop]

Thanx zhuge

Sorry I'm late to the thread been busy with a lot of Houston refugees.


Definitely hit me up when you get down here.
I'll be in Japan September 23rd to October 6th.

WD - changed my phone number, forget if I pm'd you.


re: Sinlapa

At Shadow Fist/Sinlapa there are 2 different classes that work out there under the same teacher.

The first is the Shadow Fist group. From what I see in the school, it's a style of kung fu, kenpo, or kempo. I see them working out all the time - mostly apps and sparring, with forms work at the end. Most of the students are kids with only the occasional adult. The weapons are Chinese and the uniforms look more like gis.

The second group that works out there is the muay thai group. We're a traditional muay thai gym, with a lot of mae mai muay thai mixed in. You'll learn traditional attacks & counters from the bareknuckle days as well as the sport. Sport-wise, there are some good fighters; but honestly it's been a couple months since i worked out there because I've been preoccupied with swim team (can't afford both).


re: San Antonio

As far as the other places, San Antonio's always had kind of a bad rep for kung fu.
There are a few decent schools; Jeff and Horacio Lopez go pretty far back.

There's a guy in my apartment complex, with Ohio license plates, that practices what looks like Tien Shan Pai near where I walk my dog (he wears a USCKF shirt). Haven't talked to him yet; but i could if you were desperate for some northern.

I'm assuming you made the mistake of hanging around the military bases here in San Antonio. Because away from the ghetto, this town has some of the hottest women in Texas; not to mention the fact that the ones i've met have been pretty down to earth. Met my gf here and she's got quite a few hot friends. Definitely much better looking than the selection in DC and Baltimore.

[TenTigers]

I saw a Hung-Ga school from San Antonio this last weekend at the Wong Fei-Hung Tournament. They were wearing the diamond (Lam-Ga not 1%ers) and had some very good Lion Drumming.

[Sifu Darkfist]

I am not going to ask why you are moving to San An but i will say that
I am moving to Eagle Pass Texas In a short time. I need to complete a 5 month training engagement before i will be there but when i am there i will be overdue for contact to CMA diehards
Keep in Contact

[SanHeChuan]

I am moving to Eagle Pass Texas In a short time.

Well good deal, are you going to be setting up shop?
eagle pass is alittle over 2 hours away though.

I am not going to ask why you are moving to San An

Well since you brought it up, I'm running from the LAW.
I'm in the AF reserves and doing some full time training at lackland for a year.

had some very good Lion Drumming.

Did you just mention to drumming because their kung fu sucked?
Well at least I know they are still around.

this town has some of the hottest women in Texas;

Houston is the fattest city in the nation, I never liked that place anyway.
But, alot of people and not just Texans say that the hottest women are from texas.

[MasterKiller]

Dallas has the hottest women per capita in the world. I know. I've seen them.

[Lucas]

Dallas has the hottest women per capita in the world. I know. I've seen them.

I thought venezuela or brazil would be boasting that one
