[aku aku]

Before we go any further, what's available in your area? That might be the deciding factor.

I live in nw houston so ya

[aseepish]

Both. Neither. All three.

Monkeys.

Seriously, which is better depends on a) who the individual instructor is and b) how much work you are willing to put in to make the instruction work for you.

well im willin to work very hard and i want a personal trainer its either gona be tim mousel..or elite martial arts

[Britt]

I trained with Tim for a year and I'd highly recommend him. He's top notch.

How about functional jkd from S.B.G.I
from what I've seen Tim seems like a good instructor I don't know the other people mentioned elite martial arts

[g-bells]

JKD/Kali Acadamey- Tim McFatridge is the instructor

[Garland]

Tim McFatridge posted here a few times...he seems like a great guy, and from what I've heard from him here, an excellent instructor.

and as a shameless plug for him...here's a youtube video...great marketing tool, Tim;

quality individual!!!!!!

[bambam]

Not to take away anything from Tim Mousel, but you should also check out the classes at Elite. Joe Soliz teaches the JKD curriculum and is a great instructor.

Great video great suff except.............Trapping range.............:P
Somebody show me a sport combat fight where what is commonly known as trapping (not grappling moves is the deciding factor in a fight and I'll stfu. The only examples i can think of is when a thai boxer or mma person grabs a person's kick
I've never seen anything even resembling wingchun/kungfu type trapping used much less being the deciding factor in a fight.
If you have any sport combat fight videos showing otherwise please post them I'd really like this question answer one way or the other.

The question is flawed.

White bread or wheat, eh?

Self defense is a legal term to justify the use of force.

bread and water.

or bread and butter(?)

what works for YOU?

you don't look for a trap it just happens, and opportunity presents itself and you'll just re-act. by looking to trap,intially, you are setting yourself up to fail.

boxers also utilize trapping for that matter.

a simple trap can be: you throw out a jab and your OP blocks/parries it and you pak sao while simultaneously hit

I love this argument, and have had it many times.

See all those silly drills..... chi saos and hubuds etc. Also see how you never see anything like it in a fight.

So guess what? Ordinary grappling, or simply grabbing an arm becomes the so called end result. And, of course, people who have never done a chi sao hubud drill in their life do it!

Haw haw haw!
