Is the chin wu mantis Northern or Southern

[KC Elbows]

There's a guy out here who teaches underground, I've been trying to locate him for four years now, and finally found where he teaches at. Well, from my understanding(and I haven't seen him yet), he learned his stuff at chin wu(don't know where), his name is Duke Garcia, and a friend who studied with him a long time ago said that his chin na was the best in the area.

Anyway, to my knowledge, he teaches longfist and mantis, I'm assuming both from chin wu. Does anyone know whether it would be northern or southern, or heard of him before?

Thanks.

Chin Wu is an association that was created by group of CMAers, most notably Hou Yuan-chia, in 1909. Different CMA masters have taught under the umbrella of Chin Wu. Notably Lo Gwan Yu, famous Northern 7* PM GM, was among the first group to teach there.

I don't know if in following years the Chin Wu Athletic Association has included S. PM, but its possible. They have grown to include basketball leagues, soccer leagues, health clubs, as well as CMAs now.

My bet would be that (sifu?) Garcia practices Northern PM.

Good luck.
