scotty,
What styles do you study?

I practice Wing Chun and Choi Li Fut. Did TKD when I was a teenager, then I grew up.

colombianogringo, i studied wing chun for about 4 years and i studied kenpo for about 5 years. right now i am studying tai chi.
if i do decide to move to Cali or spend some time there i would like to find either a wing chun school or a tai chi school. I couldnt find anything on then internet thats why im wondering if anyone has trained in Cali at either of these type schools.

I have heard great things about krav maga, It seems particularly brutal. I like wing chun as it is a very close quarters, brutal style. It is meant to end a fight in as few seconds as possible. Our sifu incorporates a good amount of weapons and disarming training,

I remember the first wc class I ever took. Our sifu (instructor) is a little, old guy from Hong Kong and he spent about 15 minutes after class very animatedly showing us the many ways you could kill or maim somebody with a good umbrella.

Of course, in Colombia, I just keep my mouth shut and avoid hostile situations.Kung fu or any other self defense system won't stop a bullet and guys on motorcycles can be a bit hard to block.

Peace,

I don't know if you are interested in a different style. As I mentioned, we also practice the Choy Lee Fut style of kung fu. I was pretty sure I had seen a school listing in Colombia.

I found these guys on our association home page. They have a school in Cali.

Haircuts in Colombia. I never paid for one. I went to the beauty school with my girl while she got her hair done. I would get a cut by a student under supervision, gratis. By the way, talk about a concentration of hot chicks. I would check out the beauty schools. Just walk in, and you'll have a half dozen 18 to 25 year old Colombianas fighting over who gets to cut your hair for free.

Just make sure you tell the beauty school student.

I actually fell asleep in the barber's chair in Colombia once. What greeted me in the mirror when I awoke still gives me nightmares.
