Are there any non-contemporary kung fu based dojos that teach pure self defense only kung fu in Chicago area?

yo im from Chicago, IL.. no bs answers yahoo pplz this is the real deal.. im tired of going to wushu-sport dojos that i waste tons of money every month not learning how to fight… are there any decent self-defense only and the instructor teaches it well dojos out there in the chicagoland area. i dont follow any of the mma crap because without traditional martial arts mma wouldnt be what it is today.. i dont care what style of kung fu it is as long as its traditional and works and the teachers arent fraud but in synch with a somewhat deemed authentic style im not willing to learn wing chun because im not a bruce lee follower. i want a style that fits me… ya feel me.. northern shaolin kung fu is ideal for me.. seeming as there’s no true tai chi masters in the western world nor baguazhang,xingyi,hung gar, southern dragon claw,chu gar praying mantis,northern praying mantis, etc.. im 15 years old by the way turning 16 at the beginning of summer.. thank you pplz and give me a decent response…

Karate Movies?

Whatever happened to all the good karate movies? In the 80′s and before that we had some kick ass ones. From Bruce Lee to “Barry Gordy’s Last Dragon” which is my favorite of all time.

I wish we had a new kind of karate movie (and i dont mean the Matrix).

Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris fought in Real Life.?

WIKIPEDIA:
Lee had repeatedly humiliated Norris during a mock sparring session in the hotel hallway at the Long Beach International Karate Championships. Norris had offended Lee when he publicly claimed to be a better fighter than Lee. When word got back to Lee, he called Norris and openly challenged him, threatening to drive to his school to fight (Norris was teaching his black belt class at that time). According to eye witnesses, Lee made Norris hold the phone receiver up and shout in front of his black belts, “Bruce Lee is a better fighter than me!” Later, Norris wrote an Apologetic Letter to Lee; the original is currently in the care of Lee’s student, Dan Inosanto.

Why do you think no one knows about this?

Was Bruce Lee your hero when you were a kid?

I loved him and wanted to be his girlfriend.I learned karate because of him. thanks bruce.

Can you name some classic martial arts films?

My friend is making a movie that will parody martial arts movies, and he has asked me to write the title song. Within the song, I’m supposed to reference famous titles and actors. However, I’m pretty clueless when it comes to this genre — all I know for certain is that the movie will poke fun at “The Karate Kid”, “Kill Bill”, and the work of Bruce Lee. I would really appreciate some suggestions that I could use as a starting point for my research. Thanks a lot!
