I train at Combat Ju-Jitsu over by the VA hospital/airport. Great group of people, very reasonable rates. Been there 8 years, we do standup and take it to the ground, all that good stuff. LOTS of ground grappling. You should check it out if you are not locked in at Kali, you can try a class for free. combat-jujitsu.com

By the way, I trained in Karate for 1year and on monday when I started the CSW class, I had to adapt to Muay-Thai style kicks which are very different...Karate seems to be very snappy and precise, but Muay-Thai is not snappy and has a lot of follow through for hard kicks that off balance your opponent, also Muay-thai kicks seem a little faster to me. The grappling is probably my favorite part of the class, but I have only been there once, so no final decisions; I am 5'7" 140lbs, so grappling seems to suit me better than striking...

Anyhow, Do you still practice martial arts in Minneapolis? Where?

PS: i am not sure if where is correct grammar, I'll never figure out were, where, their, there etc and the list goes on...

Here is a quick clip of CSW, I dont like the music, but it shows a good preview of CSW
