There is a Sanuces Ryu school of Jujutsu (created by Moses Powell) that does a lot with "modern" arnis.  I know they have a dojo in the Chicagoland area, and I would recommend them.  But of course that's my opinion, check them out for yourself.  Youtube and in person.  Look up Dr. Powell as well

Hey! Just joined the group. I live in Chicago and study Northern Shaolin Eagle Claw Kung Fu. I've been studying for a year and I thoroughly enjoy it. I would like to begin studying Modern Arnis or Kali also. Does anyone know of a reputable school in the Chicago area? Thanks!

Now that you mention it I think Pancrase is an event/ sportive "League".

I had it confused with Pancration which is also a sport, but there's a "style" as well.

Well I just ask because I didn't know if it was an actual thing. The only thing I can find on Pancrase is that it looks like Japanese WWE.

Brandon,

After many years I have come to the conclusion that styles are really just abstractions that can't really be evaluated out of a context. I think the question for you to ask isn't "What's Pancrase like?", but what's the school you are looking at like? 

I also think it would help any advice-givers (and yourself) if you could express what you want to take up Pancrase for.

All the Best,

Chris Amendola

Has anyone heard of Pancrase? They claim to teach it near by.

Thanks Charley, btw

Brandon,

I started taekwondo at the 'late' age of 38.  I started because my son started, and I saw it as a father-son thing to do.

For 3 years I was in it for fitness alone.  Then I became serious, and in 2009 I earned my Black Belt (1st Dan, World Taekwondo Federation).   A problem in both scheduling and finance had me step away from training 2 years ago, and while I practice my Poomse and try to stay fit on my own, I very much miss the training and hope to return to the dojang to resume my training this year.

My instructor began TKD in his early 20s and is now a 6th Dan at 52 years old, so your age has little to do with what you can accomplish in Martial Arts.

Go for it!

It is $15 on Amazon. Giving you an electronic version for free would be piracy and is not something Brett needs to deal with on his site.
