Mantis in/around Winter Park Florida

[Joe Mantis]

Baji,

Come up to Lake Mary. Just a bit north of Winter Park, not far at all. Our Facility is called Fitkix. Drop me a line at 407-330-1141

Drop me a Pm for more info.


Thanks Yu Shan...
for giving me props on this thread
Just because I'm quiet on the board doesn't mean that we don't train...... I'll talk to you soon.

Sorry man, I understand your sarcasm, my fault! Guess I wasnt thinking. Baji Brad would benefit well to hook up with you. Just to let you know, I caught sh*t from 18 Elders and others about not promoting an insane drive to Plant City or Tampa. Damo, I hope you are well, call me sometime.

[18elders]

its only insane if your not learning anything(kind of like the trip you made every weekend to a certain place in orlando!!!!!)

Master Shr would ride his little moped for hours to go train with his teachers. Was that insane or do you appreciatie his commitment in learning real mantis?

[yu shan]

Understood! Yes during that Shifu-less time period, I had to take weekend trips to Orlando and continue my studies. I did pick up some tid-bits here and there, mostly just ignored though.

Hmm, driving a skooter thru the beautiful mountains of Taiwan or driving east and west on I- 4. I know what you are getting at! Must I remind you, that I have to take airplanes to study with my Shifu! And it is well worth the effort. Just expensive!

Also, all depends on this Baji Brad`s schedule... I would recommend he make a weekend trip to Tampa or Plant City.

This Baji character must not be too interested... last time he payed any attention to his thread was December 31. Check the yellow pages bud!

He sent me an email. I gave him some info and told him to let me know when he get's here and I'll show him what's around.

The MA landscape has been changing a little around here lately. I need to get back up to speed.

[yu shan]

That`s cool, BajiBrad will be in good hands. I just dont like it when dudes start their little thread, and do not come back to it.

Can you tell us about the changes in Orlando? I`m just curious. And how is your Bengbu coming along?

[Brad]

Sorry guys, I had login problems. S#it happens. Finally got a new password for my old name... strange though, because I got the Baji Brad screen name because the old one was having problems Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to take a look at some places as soon as I manage to scrape together enough $$$ to get down there.

Brad

Yea, Sh*t happens doesnt it! You will have plenty to choose from in central Florida. Good luck!

I've noticed a few school relocations, mostly local to me, and some closures. White Dragon (Pai Lum) moved. Shao-Lin Do school closed their location and moved into a gym.

Wu style Taiji and Xingyi classes in the downtown parking garage are on hold. Don't know for how long.

Extreme Harmony on University Blvd. (Troy and Tai Chi Bob, don't remember the other guy's name) is closing soon. They will each continue teaching but at separate locations.

Li Kwai Shaolin Association moved into a bigger suite in the same shopping center.

I haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet since I can't teach Wah Lum in my area (too close to another WL school). Travelling 40 miles one way to teach class wasn't all that fun.

BTW, I haven't pinned down a source for Bung Bo yet but I'm working on it. I'd really like to make a personal comparison to Big Mantis so I can better relate Wah Lum mantis to other branches. I've been working on that with individual techniques. A whole set would be very interesting.
