Where can I find a decent martial arts school in Jersey?

I'm interested in trying out mixed martial arts, and I'd like to know if there's any schools in New Jersey that are close in Central Jersey (Edison, Metuchen, New Brunswick, etc...) that have mixed martial arts or something other than tae kwon do at least. Prefer something that isn't "family fun oriented" and is more mature and mainly for adults.

Does anyone know any good martial arts schools in the san jose area?
There's a Shorinji Kempo dojo out in San Jose, and about 5 more around the San Fransisco Bay area. Have a scout about and see which is nearest for you. The Silicon Valley branch is run by Hirayama-sensei, 7th Dan. Highly recommended.
Reply:Well, these are all Aikido schools, I can't help with other arts, but here you go:

Robert Nadeau Sensei actually trained with the founder of Aikido in Japan.





But I can especially recommend:

Hideki Shiohira Sensei is one of the best I've trained with.





If you're looking for something else, I'd suggest you go to http://www.switchboard.com and enter "Martial Arts" in the Business category and "San Jose, CA" in the location. I got 91 results from this.





And http://www.bullshido.com has dojo reviews you may want to look at.





Good luck with your search.

Reply:Cobra Kai in Crystal. We call it the Dojo here.
Reply:I also am a NK black belt but I haven't been there in years. I like to train at a school called Warrior's Cove. They are in St. Louis Park and St. Paul.





It's a school for cross training. Yes, they do some stand up kicking and punching, but they also do take downs and ground fighting. They work on Brazilian Jujitsu, judo, karate and several others. They will "re-train" you to do kicks and punches their way. They look at effectivness instead of technique (although they do suggest). They don't disrespect other schools or you previous training, which was very important for me. You can take one lesson free or watch classes as long as you want to see what goes on.

Is there any Martial Arts schools which teach Judo without a Gi ?

Would that be much beneficial during an actua encounter, or for competition, or would it really make a difference? Thanks. Peace be to you.

Is there any Martial Arts schools which teach Judo without a Gi ?
Well judo is meant to be taught with a gi, as a good many techniques are applied by using the lapels and sleeve for grip. It is completely transferable though to the arm and neck clinch. When i train in mma i use judo techniques against my gi-less opponents and they work just fine, some times better because other judoka are more experienced in the techniques i am appyling and better capable to block them.


But mma places do teach judo techniques and judolike techniques if there is a good grappling instructor there, i would advise though that you get a few years of other martial arts under your belt before going into mma, so you actually have a base to work off of. But yes, regular judo is fine, and if you learn gi-less techniques, it can actually work quite well in competition because few judoka know what the hell is going on and gives you a certain element of surprize.
Reply:Most judos will teach no gi from time to time, you could also search around for true MMA schools to go to that might teach at least basic no gi judo. You were saying in real life but in real life a Gi is very similar to a shirt or jacket once you get a hold of something. My advice would be just to find a regular judo school.

Are there japanese martial arts schools in singapore?

Yes indeed. There is a Shorinji Kempo dojo at the University of Singapore. I have no idea about whether there are also other Japanese martial arts there, but I would guess at yes to those too.

Where are Japanese Martial Arts schools with Japanese instructors in Michigan?

I mean like, karate, kendo, musical weapons, or judo.

Where are Japanese Martial Arts schools with Japanese instructors in Michigan?
Try college clubs, if you can't find a school. U of M has a good kendo club from what i can remember. Keep in mind though, just because some schools and clubs have Japanese instructors doesn't make them good, and vise versa.
Reply:well as for the locations? try Detroit, Kalamazoo, or Grand Rapids.. however Judo is Korean, and Karate I believe is Korean as well (mabye chinese, been a long time scince I studied anything on that). Kendo is a good weapons form tho. I think you should try looking for a "ninjitsu" school or "bushido" school.. you might find better luck that way at least finding something that resembles japanese training :)
Reply:Follow any stray cat, it'll end up in someone's poo poo platter for sure.... and there you will find japanese people.

Good martial arts schools in chicago?

want to work towards some belts...

Good martial arts schools in chicago?
Start with your phone book and look under martial arts, find a Kenpo school within your driving distance. Give them a call and go and check out some of the classes and ask questions.





Check out kenpo on the net and watch some technique video clips and you can even check kenpo out on youtube.com "kenpo demos"





Kenpo's self defense is truly unique and devastating. I have been learning and teaching the art of kenpo karate for 10 years now.





I hope this information was helpful, good luck and whatever you do...Don't give up!
Reply:Not sure what martial art you are looking for in your question, but I can suggest an excellent Aikido dojo. The Midwest Aikido Center, 4349 N. Damien Ave., is one of the best aikido dojo(s) in the Midwest.





Many of the senior ranks who instruct came up under Akira Tohei Shihan*. Tohei Sensei in turn was a student of the founder of Aikido.





The dojo itself is very large, very clean, and the atmosphere is excellent. They have a minimum of two classes per day, 6 days out of the week. They also host annual seminars with Shihan* from Japan and from here in the States.





*Shihan translates very roughly as "teacher of teachers".

I switched martial arts schools, what should i do?

wel i switched schools recently becuase i moved and the new school as a whole new set of hand and foot combinations and the order in which you learn the forms is all diffrent. when i test for my black belt its going to be the same stuff but the order in which i learn it is COMPLEETLY diffrent. ive been training in tang soo do for a long time, but i have SO much new stuff to learn here, i really dont want to start over but im so confused, they said i would not have to start from white belt but im starting to wonder if i should. for my rank im supposed to know ALOT mre forms than i know and the onces i do know are supposed to be learned later on (P.S im 4rth gup)

I switched martial arts schools, what should i do?
That's a good question Freak and I would start from the beginning and ask them if they can accelerate some of the testing or if a double promotion is possible. That way you don't miss anything and at the same time may be able to lessen the impact of having to start at a new school and style. You may find this is possible and since you are already an intermediate student you have a little prior experience and knowledge to aid you in learning the new system. This is much harder for a younger student but you sound like you are old enough to use your prior skill and experience to learn the new style and the things that they will require and this way nothing should get missed and there will be fewer surprises when you test for those higher belts later on.
Reply:tell them what you know so thye can put you in the right class
Reply:Start from the beginning. With your skill set, and knowledge of martial arts, you should progress quickly and smoothly through the belts.





Besides, as Mr. Miyagi said, "Karate not here, karate here."





it's not your belt, it's your heart, your brain, and your body.
Reply:I understand how tough this must be for you, having earned your black belt and now feeling like you're a beginner again, but it only goes to show you the old adage is right: A black belt is only the beginning of learning.


So I suggest you make the best of this and take a positive attitude. This is a great occasion to really master those skills you've been taught up to here. You now get to learn them anew in a whole new way. So in the end, you should end up with a much greater understanding of what you were doing.





Remember what Mr Miyagi said: In Okinawa, belt is to hold up pants.
Reply:It was like that for me too when I switched schools, but because I'd been training for a while, I was able to pick things up fast. Talk to the head instructor about what you know, and ask if you should begin at one of the lower ranks. You'll probably find that no matter where you start at, you'll move up quickly. Just relax and learn.





Good luck!
Reply:Your new school has what is called a rotating curriculum. I can understand how you feel. In fact, I had to re-read your post because I thought you were one of my students who is dealing with the exact same issue. You've identified the downside... confusion on where you stand with your rank. Here is the good news, by the time you get your Black Belt, you'll have more knowledge than the average Black Belt in your current school. I know it's exciting to go after that Black Belt, but keep in mind the real objective and that's to learn. Good luck to you!

Reply:I know what you mean, for I see it all the time at my dojo. New people come in, many with years and years of martial arts experience. Many with various backgrounds in various styles. Even though it may be that schools "white belt kata" don't think about it, think about it being a new kata you need to learn. You already know and probably perform exceptional strikes, blocks, and kicks from your previous training. Personally, I think the more kata you know, the better your blocks and strikes will flow in sparring. If your sensei is like mine, they'll work with you in finding your spot in the dojo. You may not be a black belt, but I'm sure they'll belt you appropriately for the skills you do have and work with improving where it is needed.





I also know at my dojo, many of our higher belts are just starting to master and become confident in some of the lower belts kicks. It takes time.





***edited to add*** Oh, and don't try to learn the complete form in one session. We usually divide ours up in parts and when the student is ready we'll add more parts to the kata.
Reply:I have trained in a few different systems of Martial arts. The first thing that I do when attending a new school is show up in regular workout cloths. I tell them that I have dabbled in the arts in the past. When time comes that I wear a uniform, I wear a white belt or whatever the lowest rank is for that school. Because I have previous experience, I usually move up in rank fairly quickly. Don't worry about what rank you are. Rank is just mile markers to your ultimate goal. (to learn the system not get belts)


I'm sure that you will move up quickly in the new school. The training may be a little different, however you have already trained and have a better idea about how to train and what to do to gain results.


Good luck
Reply:As long as you have your papers from when you leveled up the next school you go to will give you the same rank that you had from the last school but if it has been over a year then you may have to show what you can do to your teacher to see if you can keep your rank or have to start over
