tai chi mantis

[wujidude]

Can anyone provide information on tai chi mantis--websites, books, articles--that help define the style and how it compares/contrasts with other mantis styles? This is for a mantis newbie/wannabe.

Thanks for your help.

I'll tell you one thing, chui chuk kai was legendary is his days. He was a security guard that transported goods on horse. He often got bandits TRYING to jack him. He took care of them. He had a top student that past away too who went along with sifu on many battles, including one with more than 20 bandits. They came out on top. Some say it was 20 bandits others say 100. =]

Thanks, everyone. The question on tai chi mantis was for a newbie in Seattle without a computer. I'll pass on Mantis 108's information. And yes, Cha Kuen, I did pass on the e-mail address but it doesn't seem like she followed up.

Thanks again!

I am a newbie I was wondering if it would be alright to train in 7* and tai mantis together?

[cha kuen]

Yes you can. I am doing it and they are very similar. Who are you planning to learn tai mantis from?

[Hieu Nguyen]

Huang Mau Hua she is a master in Tai Mantis and she suppose to be associated with the Mantis society in Sacramento.
She learned in Vietnam, she don't speak any english though.
