Six harmony mantis

[tanglang63]

Anybody do six harmony mantis? Seems very limited in America. Seems mostly in taiwan?

I know Ilya Profatilov is a disciple in Liu He Tang Lang Chuan, but I think he mainly teaches Mei Hua Tang Lang Chuan.
You can find him in Hamden, CT.
I've taken some of his seminars. He seems to be an excellent teacher from my experiences and he hits like a Mack Truck.

It is indeed rare. Many Chinese consider it a "superior style" (whatever that means) so do not teach it openly. Even Ilya teaches it only to disciples.
My teacher Hu Xi Lin teaches it openly as do I to dedicated students. Great system, but not superior to anything else

It is my favorite style. i wouldn't say superior but has its unique way of doing things.

The Mantis master 張詳三(Zhang Xiang San) didn't want to teach six harmony mantis to anybody. One time he was so sick and stayed in hospital for 2 months. During that period of time, he dreamed about his mantis teacher came to his bed and blamed on him not teaching the art to the next generation. When Zhang came out of hostital. He grabed Adam Hsu and insisted to teach six harmony mantis to Adam. Adam told Zhang, "Sorry, I just don't have the time."

Check out Master Han - he visits us regulary and will be here in a few weeks.

Its fun training with him - a form fairy he aint!!!!

I have seen this Sifu's clip before and It is VERY impressive. He demonstrates a LOT of control of his opponent, great speed, and a hell of a lot of Jing.
He also seems to a patient teacher.

It seems to me that you have been quite lucky to learn from him.

[Blacktiger]

Yes my Master and Master Han are friends so we are really lucky...

Yep you a right about the Jing - he has it in spades!!!!

the school is closed. he left his wife and kids, married an 18 year old girl, was basically thrown out of the country and moved back to China. Lost his family and all his friends. owes a lot of people a lot of money in this country. he won't be back the loser.
