Ni Dan in Taizan Ryu Jui Jitsu, did some Aikido which I think
I like better than Jui Jitsu but classes got way to expensive.
Kendo and Iai Jitsu. Tsien Chuan(Mang Chuan) Kung Fu where
i learned how to properly cut a pig in two (eww I know)
I have studied a few to many styles and stuck it out in a couple
of them. But now a day';s it seems like most schools are in it only
for the money and not the quality of what they are teaching. I
have a friend who signed her boy up for a karate class and
she pay's 75$ a month for 3 classes a week, then there are the testing fees for the multiple ranks inside each rank i.e. white w/yellow sripe x2 yellow w/orange stripe x2 etc.... Just seems a wee bit excessive to me. I used to teach for 25$ a month per student
with test per rank yellow, orange, green, blue, brown etc..
and if you failed I would refund half the difference mostly keeping it on retainer for the next try. Granted I taught out of a rec center
which was glad to have me there.

By the way, how is Krav Maga ? Ive heard good things about it.
