Hope that helps, if not, hollar. I'll dig further. (But the "competition" places are a joke imho, I speak as one who got ambushed by a [albeit intoxicated] second place winner for State of Texas Tai Kwon Do, who was trained by an Olympics Tai Kwon Do contender and Aikido instructor, (or something like that) and walked away in better shape than that person) Well, I mean he is a good instructor, but they concentrate on competition rather than real-world in classes, although I wouldn't want to ever fight the guy, lol.

Re: Basic unarmed self defense for me and wife

I was browsing and thinking that sounded like something John Woods would write.
He once said he lost 2 Martial Arts students at Virginia Tech.
IIRC, V.T. occurred April 16, 2007.
But John taught as Assistant instructor
Khan's Martial Arts Academy
December 2004 — August 2006 (1 year 9 months)
So, perhaps he left off something somewhere either on a Resume or 1040 form with the I.R.S. or made an error on the dates about his "students" or actually meant "former students" ... I dunno ...

Anyway sorry to go sideways on the topic, but John Wood's CURRENT martial arts instructor in Austin has his CHL ... Dunno who his current instructor is but ...

point is ... Some place in Austin shouldn't be anti-gun (If you find where John trains) ;-)


But yeah, stay away from the "schools that teach only 'competition'" and look for "self-defense"
