H2H Training in NC
Good afternoon,
I was wondering if anyone had the names of any good h2h instructors in or around Durham, NC? Three of us, all novices, are looking for an introduction to the art of hand to hand combat.
PM me if you need specifics.
Thank you very much,
Solid

Dress up in lots of piercings and a Che T Shirt. Go to Rick's Lounge about 23:00 on a Friday night and yell out "Airborne Sucks!" as loud as you can. Its OJT, but it will definitely shorten the learning curve.

How about I just walk in wearing my Michael Moore costume with a John Kerry t-shirt on?
On the other hand, the piercing might be considered a bizarre form of conditioning.
But seriously, folks... Any names spring to mind? I'm not far from Fayetteville.

If you are in Durham, you already better know H2H, wear a vest, and be familiar with small arms.
If you show up without that knowledge, any of the local residents should be willing to provide three novice pasty white kids with funny accents "an introduction to the art of hand to hand combat".

Solid, find a Krav Maga school.

I didn't know it was legal to shoot a carjacker in the state of Louisiana. 
Edited to add:
Solid:
Practice "AVOIDFU"...that way you stay out of trouble. Back in the days, you could fight and get away with it. Nowadays...you will need an attorney.

Anyway, you should do as Guy suggests no matter what your level of badass-ism is.

Avoidfu is ingrained in my art of living.
This is training is both a precaution and potentially a preperation for things to come. So you guys don't know anyone in the area willing to take on three novices? Could you recommend a place for me to do my own research? If there's one thing I've learnt from this website, it's that those 'accredited badasses' most often aren't who they say they are- are there any magazines with advertisements that aren't BS?
Thank you,
Solid

Sifu Brian Edwards
He teaches Wing Chun out of an old warehouse across from the bread factory in Fayetteville. Went there for a long time. Great Instruction. Common sense, real world, no belts, just techniques. Everything is full contact, full speed. Teaches women for free (at least he used to).
SF Group friendly-
Highly recommend

Eagle:
Two questions-
1) Is Wing Chun a 'practical' h2h form?
2) Do you still have contact information?
Thank you so much for your help, and please excuse my ignorance. I hope to remedy it by attending these sessions.
Thanks again,
Solid
