jiu jitsu or kung fu classes and how to find them?
i currently do mixed martial arts and im a green belt. at the place i go to they do all types mixed together so it takes extra long iv ben at it for almost a year and im at the fourth belt. i love it but i really want to practice mainly on just jiu jitsu or kung fu classes. is there places that do specificly one or thoes two types, and how can i find a place nearby or could there be a gym or something with classes, i looked online and in a phonebook but i dont really know what to look for.. i know i want to learn specific jiujitsu or kungfu though and it needs to be closeish. so any help? also which is better type to try. i like jumps, kicks and defenses. 15/f

Go with Brazilian Jui-Jitsu or kickboxing. National Geographic measured the power in kicks and punches for boxing, karate, kickboxing, Taekwondo, Kung Fu recently and found that the majority of kicks and punches for Taekwondo and Kung Fu were extremely weak.
Furthermore, students don't spar as much as they should or at all to simulate real life. Jui-Jitsu taught by Brazilians is the best place to train as you need kicks, blocks, punches and the ability to grapple in almost all real-life scenarios. Kickboxing is also good for almost everything but grappling.
Where do you find these places? The Internet may help with names of dojos in your area, as will the phone book. Asking people you know at school who take it may help too.
Jumps are mainly used as a distraction and not for power most of the time. Those kicks are pretty easy to do if you have martial arts training and not as awe inspiring as they look. Belts should take a long time to earn.
If they don't at your club they're mainly issuing them to get more money by moving you up. Then you go to another dojo and see you don't know shit to be honest. Be careful in where you sign up. Have a list of questions and criteria and if they can't answer them or own up to it than go elsewhere.
ADDITIONAL:
Also, they should give you a few free classes usually 3-4 to see if you can do this before signing you up. If they won't do as much than move on and find a better club.
