 |
|
So I'm looking into checking this place out, I'm wondering if anyones ever heard of it. I know theres one in Chicago too. Its called: Song's Kung Fu Academy.
http://www.songskungfu.com
The head instructor is Grandmaster Keychun Song from what I could figure out.
They seem to have ALOT of styles under one roof and that never seems legit to me... But I dunno, looking for any kind of feedback here thanks ^^.
I'll probably stop by there some time this week, but till then ill be looking to see if any of you can dig up anything on these guys. |

*Shudders violently* Mantis practitioners scare the living crap outta me, they NEVER blink during combat and they look so calm It's just like they're dead or something, scary stuff, fought one once, not pleasant experienc, thought for some reason i wanna do it again

mantis, tiger and eagle claw make for a very interesting fighting style when solely focusing on kung fu based arts

It looks like a pretty good school if you ask me. I think you could ask if you could try it for a while and see if you wanted to join.
