Looking for ITF Tae Kwon Do School Near Glendale, CA?

Question

Looking specifically for school that:

1. Teaches Chang Hon forms (Chungi, Tangoon, DoSan, WonYho, Chungun...etc.. NOT Taeguek Forms (I-Jong, Il Jong..etc)

2. Has active adult membership that is serious

3. Offers sparring most classes, not just forms and technique workout.

4. Has a solid self defense base of additional techniques and is open to students who can teach new techniques.

5. Run by a master motivated by something other than money and that participates in the teaching and not let low black belts teach while he sits in the office.

Basically I am looking for a school where I can practice the forms I have known for the past 23 years and get some fighting in.. What good is a martial art that you cannot use?

Do not want to attend an Olympic Style WTF school as I do now, even though I am a 3rd Dan WTF BB.

My old master taught ITF forms and they seem more functional and effective, plus I don't want to learn a bunch of new color belt forms, and not FORGET the ones I do know.

Answer 2

For a mysterious reason ITF TKD is almost nonexistent in California. I was lucky enough to live close of probably the best in the State. But as for LA area? As far as I know there is nothing. I know a polish woman who moved there and had to go to a WTF school in order to keep in shape. If you want to contact her (she is pretty good) I can give her email. You just need to send an email to my profile.

You only solution might be to start your own school.
