Congratulations are in order. Recently a close friend and Kung Fu brother, Mr. James McLin, was promoted to Sifu, and certified by Master Raymond Fogg to teach 7 Star Praying Mantis. This, after a strenous 3 day test and examination.
Sifu McLin has worked very hard, always, at his training, and has never shied away from whatever was asked of him in Kung Fu, including always available to help anyone who asked. He personifies the Kung Fu spirit, and is a great testament to the legacy of Kung Fu, and specifically 7 Star Praying Mantis.
Also, much gratitude and appreciation to our Sifu, Sifu Chuck Perry, in Alexandria, Louisiana, one of the most knowledgeable and insightful martial artists I've ever had the privelege to meet, let alone train under.
