Finally, a mantis school in Las Vegas?
I've always been interested in mantis style, but there has only been one sifu in my area. Sifu Baugh of the Lohan school. He is a good guy and a good teacher, but his school wasn't for me.
I was bored tonight, so I decided to search the net to see if any new schools in my area have a website of some sort. And this came up. Supposedly this school has been around for three years, but I had not heard one thing about it.
It's called the Winded Fist Temple of Martial Arts. The person who runs the school is Terrance A. Bilal, who is authorised to teach under Song Jang Soo. There is a sifu Freddie W. Maryweather and a sifu James Willis Jr.
I came on here to see is anyone had heard any of these names or studied with or under one of them, and if they have a good rep or not.
I was able to see the website under this. http://www.kungfusites.com/wftma1/index.cfm?
Check it out, and tell me if it seems authentic, or if you think it's hokey. Thanks.
Looks like a "Professional School"
In my opinion,
This guy is modeling his stuff after a kung-fu/tai chi instructor in, I believe is Michigan or Minnesota, that teaches only adults. He has close to 500 students. He was featured in one of the Industry Magazines, MA Success or Professional Martial Arts Mag.
Their website is similar in content in regards to the finding yourself stuff.
Winded Fist site is powered by MartialArtsSites.com, so I know they must be part of some big org., like Martial Arts Industry Association or National Association of Professional Martial Artists.
The funny thing is we as TCMA practitioners might make fun of them. But regular people don't know any better, so they probably will be flocking to his school.
Well gotta go,
Oved
