We have a pretty bad traffic thing going on here too, maybe not quite as bad as yours though.
When I first started with my Sifu I was living in San Jose and he lives in Hayward. Its a bad drive after work. I met a guy in Golds gym that wanted me to meet his Sifu. I knew before hand that we were going to Hayward. I figured no way would I travel like that to train. On top of that I grew up in a neighboring town from Hayward and I never really liked that city at all, had no reason to be there, just didn't want to be there.
What I experienced that nite changed they way I saw martial arts and he asked me to return and I did for nearly 3 years.
It is worth the drive if only for one day anyway, then you would know for sure.
All I'm saying is I know the drive sucks and I don't know if any of the schools are near the "hoods" but after you meet the right Sifu you will make the drive.

I drive two and a half hours every monday to go to my Jun Fan class at Inosanto's Academy. I try to get there a little early so that I can watch Guro inosanto teach his phase one class (He's a great instructor). Then I go home right after class, so in total im on the road for about five hours (there and back to where I live). People ask me why I drive so far for a one hour class, they think I'm crazy, but for me it's worth it. In my opinion, if people are willing to travel from other countries or relocate in order to train at the academy, then a two hour drive is'nt that bad. Most of my money goes to my training. I work partime so it does'nt leave much room for anything else.![]()
