What part of Silver Spring? There use to be a Gung Fu place near Wheaton, next to Kensington.
Downtown, but it moved years ago. It might be the one you saw in Wheaton.

Stop and see my peeps at Sankofa books store off Georgia Ave. Habesha owned and operated.
That's where I buy a lot of my books from actually. I shop at Blue Nile so it's natural for me to go to Sankofa.
Mad ladies go through there and the food is banging.
yeah, real ma don't fight in competitions..real martial artist don't take place in any type of competition like a match
they do have fights to the death though that are held either at an opposing school to prove supremacy
but I'm pretty sure the actual shaolin monks are held to strictest rules of a chinese buddhism
I disagree man, I think real martial artists fight in competitions all the time. What else would you call the lei tai matches chinese masters fought in in the 19th and early 20th century. What would you call the matches set up between foreign martial artists, especially the japanese, and Chinese ones? What would you call the Japanese concept of dojo yaburi, where a single martial artists would challenge schools? Competitions are not a recent or fake aspect of martial art. They are clearly different from street fighting, but 'real' martial artists have fought and do fight in them all the time, for many reasons.yeah, real ma don't fight in competitions..
well there is mma stuff and, thai, bjj n all that is technically martial arts, And I do all that.
but the main place I go and will always go back to... the senior students There could fukk up most people on Earth , they do amazing shyt, but mainly it's for killing, defending, not sport.
I know that some Martial Artistist fight in competitions.. but just saying that's not the point of it-- and not doing well in competitions doesn't mean that you aren't good.I disagree man, I think real martial artists fight in competitions all the time.

Agreed, I don't think that you have to sport fight to be good. And you're also right, these types of competitions aren't the same.I know that some Martial Artistist fight in competitions.. but just saying that's not the point of it-- and not doing well in competitions doesn't mean that you aren't good.
You're talking about old type shyt where people where proving their school or form of MA. that's different.
I'm talking about modern competitions. I'm all about modern competitions, i started off boxing. i do bjj and other shyt now.
But really not 1 person in my main place would do a mma competition or sport right now. I think they would beat the fukk out of most people at the MMA places that I go to. I know that they aren't all about the sport aspect of it. At the beginning of the opening of the place a few 'masters' challenged my sifu, but after blowing past them... he hasn't had to fight like that in years.
