Arnis/Escrima/Kali in Boca/Ft Laud?

**Magnustampa** · Posted On: 10/01/2008 6:18pm

I know, ATT Boca, ATT Boca. It sounds great, I have looked into it before, but I just plain don't have enough time to devote to training BJJ to do credit to it and my wife and baby don't really feel like grappling with me just so I can practice when I am at home.

I do just about cream myself over A/E/K but I don't really see any down this way. Tampa has some, but never got to try it there. Now I am in Deerfield and want to look into it. Anyone know if there is any down here and more importantly, know if they are any good. I seem to recall finding some mention of one before I moved here, but when I checked the website it looked more like it had closed years ago.

Yeah, ok, I did see that one before. It looks like it is more focused on grappling than weapon work. If I were going to grapple, I WOULD just go BJJ. Also it doesn't really talk about any class schedule except for mentioning a school in WPB. Maybe I will contact them and see if they have anything regular down this way other than the seminars the website pimps.

i can guarantee that they're not more focused on grappling than weapon work.

Magnustampa:

I'd be interested to see what your follow-up led you to. A buddy of mine had asked me about FMA down my way in Miami and I wasn't sure what direction to point him to.
