Canada Martial Arts

[tri2bmt]

I've been studying martial arts in canada for over two years and was just curious who, out there, trains in canada as well.
I've met some good teachers and some very bad ones. I'd just like to know of some good ones and what else is out there. I know alot of the good schools don't advertise.:cool:

[CanadianBadAss]

I don't wanna turn this into a Canadian martial arts VS Chinese martial arts thread... but I really think you should check out beaver fist style, instead of waisting your time with the foreign MA.

I'm Canadian. I've been practicing martial arts for about 2 years as well. I've been practicing taijiquan for the past year and a bit.

Where in Canada are you? There are tonnes of Canadian martial artists on these forums. Probably someone from every province and territory. Ok - let's expand the question. Who is from which province or territory?

Hey I'm in Toronto. I was in Kungfu for a short period of time and now train Muay thai. I am perhaps interested in getting involved in kungfu again. Any tips on schools in the GTA? Preferably west end but I work in the east so if there are schools with classes in the early evening in scarborough etc I may be interested as well.

I have been looking into various praying mantis styles, and taijiquan as potential arts to take up. Also perhaps white crane but I'm not sure if that's available in T.O. I'm a pretty big guy so I don't know if there are any arts more suitable for a brawny frame or not...but I don't plan on stopping Muay thai so perhaps a soft internal art would compliment Muay thai which is most definitely hard, and external.

Thanks.

[Skarbromantis]

E-mail me, i know most of the schools in T.O

Well I heard on the southern kungfu forum that there might be a new dragon school in toronto, but I'm not sure if it's true or not.

kungfulover,

I tried to email you through your profile but it wouldn't let me. I got one of those newspapers. You can email me at growant@hotmail.com.

[Majic Sam]

I went to pick up my mail in the lobby this morning and The Monkey Man was on the cover of a stack of Vancouver Couriers.Nice way to start the day!Despite the numerous *****s,***s,queers,yuppies and junkies,Van isn't such a bad place to live.

BTW,I just spoke to the bro's at No.5 Orange(titty bar on Main and Powell).They might be carrying the UFC Friday night.They're not sure though cuz of sattelite difficulties.The Marble Arch doesn't carry them anymore.I'll be wearing a blue Saku 39 shirt if any of you would like to say hello.Despite my gregarious comments above,I'm not REALLY a redneck.Foolish,perhaps.
