Mantis 7 I read you outburst in another topic, innovation... I see you use Thai boxing too... What kick does Thai boxing have that Mantis doesn't. Sure we learn Tai Chi and Praying Mantis, but the techniques are very similar just a different way to use them. Besides all martial arts are derived from the CMA so if anything Thai boxing got that kick from the Chinese, so I wouldn't necessarily call it "crosstraining." Also Master Sun has not been to many tournaments if any since his younger years, so... As for Bamboo Leaf in your post in that topic you made it sound like Master Sun is a bad guy when you talked about that Karate crosstraining scenario. That was quite offensive I must say. I have personally met Master Sun and he is a very nice person. I did not right this to take shots at people just something to raise an eyebrow so to say.
