Mantis style ages of origins-which is which?

Cool beans. Are there facts from actual documented sources, or does it all boil down to here-say?
Thanks

If you are not interested in quoting sources, perhaps writing about it in general is not such a great idea. I assume you make these posts to invoke conversation?

Rather than being critical, why not add to the discussion?

What does your instructor, Hu Xilin, have to say about Mantis history?

I am free to be critical on a public board bro. You state certain "facts" and all I asked was the sources. Hardly critical in my opinion.

Hu Xi Lin is not a historian, so outside of our family and lineage he takes a common sensical approach... much of what is purported to be "fact" in the CMA is actually fantasy at best in many cases. So in lieu of propagating fiction, Hu has left the arguments for those who are doing scholarly research into the subject.

Hence one asking for sources.

So, then you should be able to provide information on your family, lineage and how they believe tanglangquan started and developed.. If you really want to engage in a discussion.

I gave the sources mentioned by the people who wrote the posts I referenced. Anyone who is truly interested should be able to take it from there, as I did.
