I am looking for a reputable Northern Mantis school in the mid-west or on the west coast. I am planning on moving to a city or town specifically to train for ten years minimum. This will take alot of preperation, so contact numbers or E-mail addresses for the school would be useful. I would especially like to hear from students who train at the schools they are recommending. Thanks in advance! :)

If you know of a good school in California, let me know. It's not that I must move across country, rather, I am willing to. I'd like to get in touch with as many teachers as possible and select the one who will work for me.
Come on guys, help me out here. Every one of you has got to be training somewhere.

Unless you have nothing else to do in life...

Personally I dont know of any of my Sihings that just train in kungfu. Like myself, I teach Tang soo Do, Go to School full time, have 3 children (one neurologically impaired) and try and support them and my wife... thus I have to go to work.

But if you want to make a go of it go for it. Do it while you are young and able.

Check out the schools in California.
You can start with the Tai Mantis Association and Paul Eng. Master Eng is an authority on 7* Mantis as well as being the association head for Tai Mantis (although I wish they would call it what it is Tai Chi Praying Mantis)
There is a school In Walnut Creek I believe my Sifu speaks well of.

Check it out.

Good Luck
