I'm Jeff L. and my father is from East Aurora, NY, though I grew up in Cheektowaga.

Check out this site for some info. on local schools:

Hung Gar is a good system! Depending on how far you're willing to travel, you have lots of options. What do you want out of martial arts training?

Heh, couple of funny coincidences.

I want to find a new way of keeping active (for the longest time I just hit the weight room, but a college football shoulder injury largely put an end to that a couple years ago), and I find the self defense system as a huge added bonus.

Welcome, I spent some time, many years ago, about 70 miles south of there in Bradford Pa.

Let us know how it went with the Kung Fu school

Oh my gosh I grew up in East Aurora!!!!


Welcome to Martial Talk, Jeff! Glad to have you here!

If you have a chance, I would strongly recommend checking out Mr. Tim Hartman's school, Horizon Martial Arts, in West Seneca. I don't know if the Filipino arts are for you or not...but Mr. Hartman is on of the best in the world for what he teaches.

Good luck and and keep us posted!

This thread is back from the dead!



After visiting several school (and looking into a few different MAs), I did end up with Hung Gar Kung Fu. I'm studying under Sifu Robert Gott at the Red Dragon School of Martial Arts.



The bug has definately bitten.

I'm glad that you found "your art"! I'm sure you'll thoroughly enjoy it.

Welcome back.
I remember Chris Cassamassa (son of Lou Cassamass, who is the founder of Red Dragon Karate). Chris is beyond amazing.

Google him (Chris) when you have a chance.
