So, I thinking about working in Japan for awhile, but I don’t intend to stop training. It may seem like a contradiction in terms, but does anyone know any CMA schools in Japan? A friend of mine said she read about a CLF school in Tokyo, but forgot the URL.
Any help would be appreciated.
There is CLF in Japan go to the southern forum and ask, my friend put up his school of CLF in japan there last month.

Yup, that’s the one she remembered. I’ve never practiced CLF, but I’m always open to new things. Just wondering if it would be hard to get into after practicing other MA’s or if it’s a reasonably easy transition? Any CLF practitioners with input?
I know of quite a few I guess.
There is xingyi, clf and a few wing chun ones, plus if you wanted to try Chen style taichi one of the Chens teaches near and in Tokyo. There’s also an interesting guy who teaches his favourite concepts from daito ryu aikijutsu and xingyi mixed.
I wouldn’t neglect the Japanese arts if I were you! There are LOTS of them here! They have a lot of variety, they’re not all just hard karate or wet aikido cliches.
Anyway, PM me and I’ll sort you out with some ideas when I have time.
Mat do you realy live in Tokyo??
You should take up SHOOTO, unless you wanna learn forms?
MMA rules in JAPAN!!
There is Bak Mei as well in Japan!!!
I thought shooto meant Chop
Do you have any info about the back mei kwoon in Japan???
Same guy that teachers CLF bro!! 
I checked out the web site, but They wer using Japanese terms and I couln’t tell what it meant. The few pics they had seemed like they did something that resembles clf.
I know he does Bak Mei but he also says he teaches hung sing CLF i might be wrong or is it Buk Sing?
:eek:
It’s Hung Sing CLF and he has a couple of schools. He posts here as Kei Lun so I’m surprised he hasn’t commented yet.
Post something in the Southern forum and maybe he’ll see it.

Green Cloud, yes Mat lives in Tokyo.

Mat,
Are you still having sparring sessions outside a sports center or have I gotten you mixed up with someone else?
Sometimes. And sometimes in! More often than not recently we’ve been training in a small park near two of our apartments.
I don’t go to a kungfu kwoon over here right now: I know the unarmed forms and most of the dummy from wing chun, and a couple of my training partners do too, and I’m quite happy with my progress! The wing chun I’ve tried over here hasn’t been very good or has been too far.
I haven’t had a chance to go to shooto recently, but hopefully that’ll change soon.
Thanks everyone for the overwhelming support.
Hi Guys, sorry for not jumping in earlier.
There is a surprising amount of Kung Fu in Japan, especially around the Tokyo area. As you know I run a number of classes, teaching Choi Lei Fut and some others privately.
There are some interesting Japanese styles as well. If you or anyone wants to know about any specific styles or schools here feel free to ask!
