    Who was John Fusco's mantis teacher?
    "The true meaning of a given movement in a form is not its application, but rather the unlimited potential of the mind to provide muscular and skeletal support for that movement." Gregory Fong

    Who even remembers TIGER's TALE

    It's a strange thing to read about one's self in the third person (except here in the forum we're every one's got something to say about someone . . . or use to). Still people seem to be liking what they see. So for you all I'll post this fight scene exclusively.

    Reviewed in THE HUFFINGTON POST

    Martial artist and contributor to KFTC Stacey Nemour, had some nice things to say about the book:
    The book Little Monk and the Mantis is a thrilling tale from Hollywood screenwriter John Fusco of one boy's search for self-expression, courage and the peaceful, non-violent teachings at the root of true martial arts. This book is accompanied by beautiful art illustration by Patrick Lugo, who is art director for Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine

    This is the fascinating story of how the Praying Mantis style came to be.
