There are so many schools in the SF Bay Area. You really have to narrow it down. Exactly what style are you interested in. Are you looking for external or an internal school? Cross-training or what?
SF Bay Area has so many talented sifus and masters in one location, this area is blessed.

Why would you crosstrain in three styles that do not go together? The concepts of all three are different and will contradict each other. It would make more sense to stay with a southern or northern family. Not both... It can be done and has been, but can be highly discouraging to the practitioner at times as they contradicting one another.

Man, if you're gonna be in the San Francisco Bay area, check out THE KWOON!www.kwoon.com ; does Sifu Wing Lam still teach in San Francisco? I hear he's a tremendous teacher, teaches Northern Shaolin and Hung Gar Boxing. Solid combination.
As always, stay strong, and keep an open mind...

Only problem is that Lam Sifu is in the Southern part of the bay. It will be a long drive for the dude.
