looking for a jujutsu dojo

[slatter2008]

I am in plano texas and looking for a reputable jujutsu school that preferably does not test for rank advancement. please help

 

[arnisador]

You mean, a style that has no ranks?

 

[Ubermint]

The closest you will probably find is BJJ, where the ranks are more akin to a competition ranking.

 

[slatter2008]

I am sorry. I did not meen a style that has no ranks but does not charge of rhte tests for the ranks

 

[arnisador]

That varies more by school than style. My BJJ instructor doesn't charge for tests/ranks.

ARNISADOR,

Thanks for the intel.

I had always wondered what Jiu-Jitsu was all about, ever since hearing it mentioned in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE™ by the FRANK SINATRA character.

 

[arnisador]

Yes, that was neat seeing Frank Sinatra doing it! Most unexpected given the year.

 

[MALCOLM XERXES™]

Yes, that was neat seeing Frank Sinatra doing it! Most unexpected given the year.

Exactly the reaction I had (& continue having!) when I first saw THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE™.

 

[arnisador]

I never saw the remake. Does anyone know if Denzel Washington had a similar scene?

You might also look up the US Ju-jitsu Federation. They have listings for most states.
