Hm I remember he has a Youtube Channel somewhere but I forgot the Channels name. There he had a video where he and his students were visiting his masters in China.
Hope to find it again and post it here.


Kind regards,

Seems a bit reminiscent of Liu He Tanglangquan to me.

Taiping Insitute puplished a few pics of a Mantis Master, who also seems to be from Shaanxi Province.

That's... interesting... I spent a long time in Shanxi and never came across Mantis.

Village styles (Fanshi Dao for instance) and Xingyiquan, LOTS of that and Taiji, of course, a little Baji, but no Mantis.

Shaanxi and Shanxi are two different provinces.

Ah yes sorry I messed them up. I somehow thought that in the first video it where also about Shaanxi...
