Shaolin and Praying Mantis
What is the connection between shaolin and tanglang? I noticed this on the russbo site. My sifu maintains that tai chi praying mantis is closest to the mantis originally taught at the shaolin temple. I also noticed that some tai chi praying mantis schools add "shaolin" to their name. Just curious...
