I read "True Concepts of Luo Guang Yu's Seven Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu" on the website and I enjoyed the article. I particularly liked the information regarding the practical differences of li,...

Kung Lek,

Why do you find it difficult to learn from the videos? What is missing in the videos that make it difficult? What should be included in videos to make them better?

I am looking to purchase a few martial arts instructional videos, which ones would you recommend for my library.

Shrfu John explained that most sets are a single attacker situation. The changes in direction are just that changes in direction. Either your opponent is getting behind you or you attacked and got...

I too would like this matter to come to end;however I do not see this in the near future. I would like an upper member of wah lum to respond to the posts on the forum. I would like to see them...

The question you ask is a very complex question indeed. Some will answer if one meditates in corner, the light will shine and you will learn relaxtion. Of course, these are the same people who will...

Frogman,
The cost would depend on the number of people signed up for the seminar. I believe it would cost around $65 per person. Yes, it is open to anyone who wishes to attend. I'm just sending a...

Hi,

I am interested in organizing a speed and agility clinic in Tampa, FL.
The clinic would be on the weekend either Sat or Sun from 8-5pm. The clinic would be taught by Scott Phelps, a pioneer...

I thought about the stone lock training regarding the equipment for training. The stone locks are hard to find here or you need to find a mason who can design and cut one. There are several companies...

Yushan,

Shrfu John has shown us the stone lock exercises. We have two different weights at school. Very physically demanding. When you are down just ask. I also can use a review.

Kris,
For me studying Pong Lai has opened up many important avenues of martial arts training that I was made to believe required a metaphysical level of training when infact; requires an assortment...

Flem,

I guess you lost me. I thought this thread was about applications and how you learn how to use them. What value does your post add. You are so eager to poke fun at others 18 Elders on...

My Wah Lum story is far less interesting or infamous as the many others who have posted. My story is simple- I wanted to learn about jing and applications and be in an environment that was open to...

I can only comment on my own personal experiences and the two person sets and exercises we train with are combat. I know this because of the bruising on my arms and legs from blocking real strikes...

I am recently studying mantis in Florida with Shrfu John and we do many drills incorporating kwa. It is very useful in opening up the attacker for your attack. In fact, a basic kicking...

It appears that the wandering you dislike is at the corner stone of the development of praying mantis boxing. This is not an opinion I am relaying, but in fact an observation of the history beginning...

It is not just moving from one place, philosophy, or teaching in this case. It is the ability to question and then search for the answers. Some of these answers might need the knowledge of a...

I believe one has to research the sifu program extensively. You need to know the level of proficiency that is required of you so you can be successful in the program. Be wary of time frame answers of...

My treament is going to deal with improving range of motion and muscular strength surrounding the knee joint. Based on your post, I belive you strained the lateral collateral ligament. The first...

No I'm not going to Taiwan. I'm still teaching in March and can't take a vacation. Are you going?

Kickking Mantis
Thanks for the information. As I improve, I should be able to intercept and grab in one motion

Ying ching
I'm not familar with all the 2 person sets you mentioned. Right now I'm...

Kicking Mantis
Thanks for your response. From my recent experience doing 2 person drills, I have found that before I can hook or grab a leg or arm, I must intercept or block. This seems "hard"...

How would you define a hard or soft techique?

Thanks for the help.
