Title: So I have a question for people in San Jose
Post by: DemonLordZabuza on June 23, 2008, 09:43:09 PM
My question is this, do any of you know of a place where they have kick boxing classes, and preferably a ring to practice in?

Now to be more specific, Im looking specifically for a place that does kick boxing, like a place that has karate or judo and what not.  Not like gold's gym or whatever

I used to train under Cung Le a few years ago.  Although his gym has moved a bit since I've stopped going, it still exists (http://gym.cungle.com/sv/html/website/WebSite_7/m_main.jsp?id=7&).

Although I have a few minor reservations about Cung himself as a person, there is no doubt he's a top class competitive fighter who has won quite a bit (http://www.cungle.com/sv/html/website/WebSite_6/m_main.jsp?page=profile.html&id=6&).  I'd still recommend his training if anyone wants a well-rounded training course in Sanshou & grappling with an emphasis on competitive fighting.

I remember seeing that page. One of my friends from Singapore that came to De Anza for the Spring trains under Shamrock Gym, also in the bay area. MMA certainly is interesting.

I currently go to an LA Boxing that is a few blocks near my home, other than the Cung Le facility that Tsubasa mentioned and AKA that grant911 also mentioned as far as I know there is also the Shamrock Fighting Academy that is right next to the Golfland right near Oakridge. Haven't been inside the place though, but one of my former tae kwon do instructors used to work at AKA. Dunno if he still does though.
