@ Daniel_Kemp: my Google-search-fu is mighty, and will be unleashed, on your behalf. We don't need a DNA sample, just a city/country.

I'll play hippy to you, because

I'm touched you insulted me personally.
I can't fold you up, like some of these fools
I could end up with a 'shitstain' tag, or something.

EDIT: Ok, I'm on it.

Hi bobyclumsyninja.

A club/dojo in/near Seoul in South Korea would be cool.

Thank you for helping.

You should have gone all pedantic on his ass for spelling "hippy" wrong. It's the only way you can possibly damage Omega on this elemental plane, kind of like how only an Oxygen Destroyer can truly destroy Godzilla.

It's "hippie".

"Hippy" is an adjective describing one's waistline.

Maybe I could find a club/dojo where a bunch of bartenders/bouncers train, become friends with them, then just take my ladyfriend to the place(s) where they work, and then I don't have to worry about being bugged by rude people.

Or you could buy a book or Google nice places.
Your idea is fine, albeit much more time and work.

Seriously, are you wanting to actually train something because you want to train or because you think you are going to play White Knight?

Korea / Japan - Regional Director: John Frankl

John began his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training in Los Angeles under the legendary Rickson Gracie. Rickson’s patient, methodical style as a fighter and attention to detail as a teacher are both evident in John’s approach to Jiu Jitsu. Following a year with Rickson, under whom he received his blue belt, John moved from Los Angeles to Boston to pursue his doctoral studies at Harvard University.

In Boston, John trained another eight years with Roberto Maia, founder of Boston Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a black belt under Carlos Gracie, Jr., and the cousin of Renzo Gracie and the Machado Brothers. Under Roberto, John received his purple, brown, and black belts. John was also fortunate to have the opportunity to train extensively with Claudio Franca whenever he visited his hometown of Santa Cruz, CA. After nine years of continuous and dedicated study, John is among the elite group of Americans black belts.

John’s academic and martial arts careers have long overlapped. His travels allowed him to train and fight not only all over the U.S., but also in Brazil, Thailand, the Philippines, and Japan. John also founded Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Korea, where he has often lived for extended periods of study and research. His academy, Seoul Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, has now grown into the nationwide organization, Korea Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

It's Been nice knowing you Rabbit.

Wait... no it hasn't.

OP you seem very concerned about fighting people. You need to know training a couple of weeks or even a couple of months probably won't be enough for you to pull this off:

Start at 11:30. (I have no Idea how to embed a video so it starts at a certain time.)
Or better yet watch the song at the beginning. I was like DAMMMNN!!!

This site has a great school listing for Korea. Scroll down, about a page's length. It's in the margin, on the right.

Obviously BJJ isn't the only option, but it is one. I'll keep looking.

This thread, here on Bullshido, has good information about what you're looking for.

I just think a "man" should be able to defend himself and/or his lady, if they are being attacked physically.

And I have read that learning self-defense helps your confidence, which helps in many parts of your life.

Thank you bobyclumsyninja.

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu useful in real life. If you have someone in a hold on the ground, then doesn't that make it easy for other people to kick you? I'm not saying I would ever put someone in a hold on the ground, I am more interested in taking something that is useful in real life.
