Okay, This is not quite a contribution to this particular forum but indirectly it might benefit it anyway.
I would like to learn avrything there is to learn about the praying mantis styles(for as far as that is possible) one of the reasons for this is that the praying mantis is my favourite animal.
One of the things that is of mutch interest to me is the main diferences in the diferent styles.
And eather or not anny of the styles are better than anny other, And if so whitch ones are these, I ofcourse would also like to know here in europe i can practise these PM styles(specificly in holland)
ANNY information is welkome no-matter how trivial.
Thanx in advance!

When you go to Bamboozle Temple, as Roger a simple question.

"WHO CERTIFIED HIM TO TEACH AND OPEN A SCHOOL?"

He cannot answer that, because no one will admit to having anything
to do with him. He is mere collector of forms and photos.

He was a "commuter student" of Gin Foon Mark, then betrayed him
by joining another Jook Lum teacher after taking the most serious of vows
a Jook Lum man can take.

He might be able to brawl like in a bar, and he has a nifty "Chuck Norris"
sidekick, but he has very little Jook Lum in hands.

He has gone from Gin Foon Mark to Poo Yee to Louie Jack Man to Wong Baklim
and even to the ends of the earth, he has pictures of himself with BONA FIDE
Sifus, but the FACT remains, no man will claim him as a student and NO ONE
HAS EVER CERTIFIED HIM TO TEACH, let alone open a school.

Go ahead and ask him. He will fill your ears with "Masonic mumbo jumbo"
but he CANNOT answer the question, "WHO CERTIFIED HIM TO TEACH?"

Have a nice day.

[redfist]

hey jack,
who certfied you to teach?

why do you put down gin foon mark?you used to kiss his ass,for
any bit of information you could get,but you didn`t get anything,
i guess thats why you are so ****ed off,

thats where you got your jook lum from,remember hanging
around nyc chinatown with ho dun and norman chin?

you say you despise lum sang but thats where your
"deadly" hakka hand came from,

now seriously jack,post your lineage for all to see,
i will look it over let and you know how legitament it is.

while i`m at it,i noticed your disdain for the chow gar of ip sui,
is he not the oldest living practioner of nan tong long today?
maybe 70+ years of experiance.
you expect us to think you know more then he does?
you have no respect for your elders,nor for yourself.

hear that jack?

the walls are closing in,the truth is out there jack,
unfortunately so are you.

[bong]

Jack thought himsewlf a Mason once.

He got some low-level stuff from the master of low-level...NORMAN!!

Then, after having many teachers, he found the Great Mantis (who was really the great Llama, but Jack didn't know that yet). Jack went "over the pond" to the UK for a couple of weeks and learned enough to become a contemporary of the great Mantis/Llama, was dubbed "sifu", then he donned the robe of Socrates and became the "Bad Cop" of The Great Mantis' Super Secret Socrates Mantis Club. Jack then scared off and/or insulted everone in sight and the website folded. The Great Mantis revealed himself as the Great Llama and abandoned Jook Lum and poor Jack. Now Jack has too much time on his hands.

[redfist]

you still here jack,

the truth is right there in bongs post and it kills you,
who are you to ask a question anyway?
you are nothing but a low level nan tong long wanna be,

you said lum sang was beaten,who hasn`t been?
i guess sometimes it all depends when you start counting
i was around when he was alive and all i know is that
he was well respected,
by the very people you learned your kung fu from.

the kung fu that lum sang taught was real good,
thats why you were hanging around chinatown to get what you could,
it was worth it,

now listen son,
i`m going to give you a chance to educate all of us here at
kung fu on line,
first take your medication,ready?

list for us now all of the "masters"that defeated lum sang.

full names,dates,and times please.

[redfist]

hey jack,

is that the song you sing to yourself when looking in the mirror,
you know that shiney thing over your bathroom sink.

you do have a bathroom,don`t you?you know,
the place you spend most of your time,

spanking the monkey troll boy,

sing it again jack,like the way it sounds?
i hope so,

it`s about you jack,it`s your anthem.

thank you for shareing it with us troll boy,

back to chaseing your tail now.

Who knows mabey he did go "over the pond." Not that it would do him much good. I doubt it though. Where did your sifu go Jackie? Please tell us about it. Tell the truth now. It looks as though perhaps you have been booted off this board. Not the first time that's happened. So just log in under another name and answer our questions.

We will be waiting.......

Go to www.8step.com with James Sun and 8 Step Mantis. It's one style that is worth considering. I don't know if there are 8 Step practioners where you live but it's worth considering. Also if you'd like drop by Bamboo Temple.com I agree with you the Mantis is my favorite little creature too (along with the Dachshund). But the Mantis is fun to watch and I've actually seen a Mantis fight off a bird to the point the bird took off!
