Any East Bay martial arts info out there?

[spence]

Thinking of getting back into martial arts after a 14 year lapse since I trained at Iowa State.

Does anyone have any experience with any of the schools in the East Bay/Fall River area? Looking online it doesn't appear as though there are many options. My experience was with Karate/TaeKwonDo but I'd be open to other styles.

thanks,

Have You looked into Krav Maga?

Looks like a lot more fun than Karate and is something You can use if need be..

There'd be nothing better if you got in a knife fight at the end of a jetty

No contact Karate is best for most people..

Spence,
Lots of the good places closed with the instructor retiring due to age or injuries...
Aikido of Newbedford is a place i would check out.
Raven Academy used to be in Fall River but now in Somerset for a mixed style of kenpo/grappling..
JBA...?? with Donald Banville no info since 2003 though...
Check this out...

Lots of blogs out there...

You might want to think a little harder on that one. I've seen you. One punch to the head and you'd go down like a bag of rocks and wake up with a sudden fascination with waving your hands in front of your face and drooling.
