Looking for PFS or other JKD schools/instuctors in Chicago

[Disciple]

To Vunak affiliated instructors:

I will be moving to Chicago the first week of June and was wondering if anybody knew of some good PFS instructors in the area. I'm looking for a school that produces tough, quality fighters.

I also heard that there is a branch of the Straight Blast Gym in Chicago. Anybody been there? If so what do you think?

Thanks for any information you can contribute.

Call Paul Sharp

Hi,

Paul Sharp is the SBG guy in your city. His website is at: http://www.straightblastgymillinois.com/

Also, Dion Riccardo (Full instructor under Voo at one time) is also there and his website is at: http://www.vitaljkd.com

If I lived there, I would be with one of these guys....

I would definately Check out Matt Numrich or Paul SHarp. Matt did a seminar for us about a year ago. He is very good at getting you going on a strong foot in JKD. Paul Sharp although i have not trained with him yet ( I will be real soon) we have had many phone conversations and Paul is a really cool guy. However you were looking for a Vunak instructor and Paul is a Matt Thorton instructor. I am also a Vunak Instructor and have alot of respect for all of these guys. Also there Is Michael Vanbeek. All these guys can be found off of Vunaks website except Paul.

Hope this helps if your ever in Madison, Wi ( 2 hours north of chicago) stop by and take a class.
