Hello!
I was reading about Seven Star Mantis Sifu Luo Guangyu and found many pictures of him in various Mantis poses. However, I could find no mention of any books published by him, etc?

Picture such as this (http://home.windstream.net/clowe13/lo%20kwang%20yu%202.JPG)
So, are any of you aware of old training manuals/books published many years ago that have Luo Gunagyu demonstrating Mantis techniques?
If so, I would like to know the name, author, etc.
THANKS!

From what I have heard Master Luo, like many kung fu instructors of his day, was illiterate. Thus, he wouldn't be writing any books.

However, he was featured in photographs in Won Hon Fan's Bung Bu book and his story is told in A Discourse on the History of the Praying Mantis Boxing for the Last One Hundred Years.
