Hello all,
I recently had the oppurtunity to visit Shifu John Chang of the 8 Step Mantis system. The experience was very enlightening, as Chang Shifu was very enthusiastic to share his knowledge and experience with me. We spent a few hours reviewing body mechanics, defining the meaning behind the diversity of Mantis Boxing systems, memories of Wei Shigong, as well as principles and technical application.
What was most insipiring is Chang Shifu's charisma. His energy is very honest, humble, and outgoing. I was very suprised with how much Chang Shifu placed himself in a position of service rather than in a position of worship, given his place in the 8 Step community. I was very humbled by his love and dedication to the perpetuation of his art, and the 8 Step family.
Chang Shifu's wealth of knowledge is surpassed only by his kindness and his passion for the art. For anyone seeking information about the 8 Step system, seek Chang Shifu.

Special thanks to LapuSquared (Chas.) for arranging the meeting, and to Kin for recommending Chang Shifu as well.
