sorry guys, this should have been a post under duchman's post "let's get this board going" in reference to scytale's post where he asks how he might find more sparring partners in his area. i hit new thread by accident, instead of post reply, and it won't let me delete now.. for some reason..sorry bout this..i hate doing newbie crap..

one more idea.. any colleges in your area? junior colleges? frequently these places only offer traditional karate/tkd/judo.. (judo is worthwhile, however, in my opinion).. however, you might find out about campus clubs. i found out WashU (a nearby stlouis college) has a kali club.. they don't advertise.. so noone would ever know they were around. you might check in on that. if the college says "you have to be a student to attend" say "ok, well i'd like to talk to the teacher so that i can locate people in this area i CAN train with".. then do that. chances are, he might invite you to the club meets anyway. most of us just want able, happy bodies to train with.

just another thought
