What do you think about training with books? Like reading books on Kung fu. you think it’s possible to learn like this? I am doing this because where I live there is no Kung fu places just karate. ---

You should go and learn Karate! It is impossible to really learn Kung Fu or any other martial art from books. Documentation can not replace real teaching. 😉 ---

No, he means go to University of Pitt, pick up a book with all the classes, check to see if there are martial arts. The college I go to offers JuJutsu, Kickboxing and Tae Kwon Do (offered at different campuses, sadly none are on my campus). Check Pitt out, they might have classes. ---

GM CS Kim (tang soo do) is in Pittsburgh. Good guy. Master Scott Homschek is in Ambridge. Excellent instructor. Most colleges have sports clubs out the wazoo, many of which are martial arts oriented. Ohio State has about 19. Penn State has quite a few as well. ---
