I am faced with a problem I would like to train in both Baji and Mantis the only thing is I kinda like Baji alittle more but heres my problem I could train in Plum flower Mantis www.shaolinkungfuclub.com and hes certified under Duke Y.M. Cheng from Buena Park ca but Id have to commute 4x per week for 1 per class, or train under baji which is 15 minutes away but theres only 1 class per week 2-3 hours per week, this instructor comes from the same lineage as Adam Hsu his name is Jason Tsou www.chikunginternational.com and my last choice is I'd have to commute about an hour and this instructor trained under Jiang Hao-Quan who is very well known and he teaches Mantis, Eagle Claw, Baji, Piqua but his school is taught like a university he has a curriculum that he follows and there no ranking system its a 4 year program etc www.beijingkungfu.com
I think I need more than 1x per week to train?

I've heard nothing but good about Baji. There are some good mantis practioners too, but be careful... with all the good there is twice as much bad.
