For Shotokan, Mikami has instrctors all over the state. I hope you find the school you are looking for. If not, feel free to check out White Crane Kung Fu in Baton Rouge.
Good action scene from a Donnie Yen movie. (Ip Man to me is his best.) It is neat to see Cung Le in a movie bringing in his technique with his bad knees. I find the action for me is way too flowery and over the top with the wire work, which is very entertaining...
for hand to hand I would use whatever I can find and knock out the "mutha effa" or "effas". Whether it be a garbage can, wheel chair, desk, chair, bottle, some girl's high heel shoe, fan, ladder, brick, someone else's fist/foot, automobile, and my favorite "the sneaky handshake". Fight dirty...
