Anyone here in the Southern Indiana/Louisville area? If so, which places can you recommend?

Does this thread also have a Discord channel? Pretty excited, I'm starting martial arts again this week! Going to be studying hung gar. I'd been looking for either Wing Chun or some other kind of kung fu and remembered an old buddy of mine studied kung fu, so I reached out and he pointed me towards his school. Hopefully my knees are up to it, but I'm super stoked.

slidebite posted:Cool stuff, I know nothing about that at all. No discord afaik. Me either! I've done TKD, Taijutsu, a bit of karate that I don't remember the style of, and I currently also do longsword fencing. I've always been interested in kung fu so figured I'd give it a shot.

kimbo305 posted:Yes, that would definitely help — the kinetic energy imparted on the bag would get converted to potential energy as the center of mass of the bag swung up. Just a foot of leash slack might not do a lot, but 2 feet might help noticeably. The longsword stuff is HEMA, focusing on the German schools. As for hung gar, I'm basically just looking for fun and exercise, but my friend said there's definitely self defense benefits from it, so I guess we'll see. I just really miss martial arts. I was looking for karate stuff but most of what is around here is tae kwon do. I was thinking of BJJ but I've got some iffy knees so thing like knee locks and bars would make me nervous.

Congrats slidebite!! So I had my first hung gar class last week and absolutely loved it. I was sore as hell the day after but its all good. Been working on my horse stance and the part of the form I've learned so far, but was wondering: a bit ago someone posted a Sense Seth video and I quite liked it and have gone down the rabbit hole with him and his friends. Does anyone know of any kung fu type channels like that? Also, if you all love martial arts/action movies like I do, I recently discovered Scott Adkins's YouTube show "The Art of Action" and it has been a great time!

Morter posted:One more update from me and my Wing Chun journey. I've earned my fourth belt (10 being Black belt) after passing an exam, and I'm now an intermediate student, where things will not only get more technical, as well as getting into official sparring classes. That's awesome, congrats! Also, I had no idea Wing Chun had ground techniques or takedowns.
