For those interested there will be a Seven Star Praying Mantis seminar in Indianapolis, Indiana, on May 9. Due to the time frame and space requirements I have to limit participation to invitation only, no walkins. Topics to be covered include 8 hard and 12 soft methods and also the 18 Elders form. If this is something of interest to you throw me an email and I can give you more specifics.

Only a few weeks to go. We still have some room left. If you think you may want to attend then throw me an email. This will be a good seminar to learn or brush up on the listed topics. The seminar is being taught by Sifu Henry Chung. Sifu Chung has about 50 years of Praying Mantis training in the WHF Clan.

Wow, I hadn't heard that Sifu Chung was going down to Indianapolis to teach that. That is pretty cool. I'm glad he can get down there since you guys were just up in Midland not that long ago.

It was very good. We had a small group which meant we got more personal instruction from Sifu Chung. I need to go through the 8 hard methods again to get a better grasp on them. I hope to have Sifu Chung back down next year.

Glad to hear it went well! I miss the Midland tournament, hope Sifu Chung will resurrect it someday....

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but if anyone is interested, Sifu Li Yen Huo and his class will be doing a demonstration of tai chi and tai chi praying mantis at the Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts in downtown Grand Rapids, MI. We perform at 1 pm on Saturday, June 6. We will be performing cck tcpm tai chi and mantis forms. There will also be audience participation in chi kung breathing excercises and warm up, introduction to push hands and moves from tai chi forms. Sifu Li also may show some self defense moves. Here are some pics from last year's performance (http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnwinkelman/sets/72157606399880872/). We are performing in the "Adult Involvement" are behind the County Bldg.

Only took a few group photos, no action pics. I did get the 8 hard on video and the 2-man set for the 8 hard. I'll post the group pictures on the web once I get them.
