was planning to check it out within a week, but was wondering if anyone could relate any details about their experiences there, especially on the system of instruction (because there are different mantis styles taught evidently). appreciate it
Shaolin Northern Longfist
The sifu is Grandmaster Keychun Song from Sol, Korea. I know him as Sajo. My sifu is one of his first generation students from the eighties. They primarily teach Seven Star Praying Mantis and Shaolin Northern Longfist. PM me for more info please.

"Heaven and earth are enduring. The reason why heaven and earth can be enduring is that they do not give themselves life. Hence they are able to be long-lived.
Therefore the sage puts his person last and it comes first,
Treats it as extraneous to himself and it is preserved.
Is it not because he is without thought of self that he is able to accomplish his private ends?"

Wow, good timing guys.
I'm moving to Chi-town sometime next month, and was going to post a question about the state of PM out there, but I don't need to now.
Thanks!

There are a couple of mantis schools in the Chicago area - I'll leave it up to you to visit the different websites/schools and make up your own mind. There may be more, but these are the schools of which I am aware:
http://www.sevenstarmantis.com/ - seven star
http://www.mantisfist.com/main.html - seven star
http://www.songskungfu.com/ - as mentioned previously
http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/...180/frames.htm - in Peoria
There are ssome southern mantis too, but I didn't include those.

I'm also interested in Chicago are Mantis schools. Does anybody have any knowledge of, or experience with, any of the schools listed above? As everybody knows, there are vast degrees of difference in the quality of sifus. And having never studied Mantis, just showing up and observing, well I don't have much to go on.
Tx!
