    Hm I remember he has a Youtube Channel somewhere but I forgot the Channels name. There he had a video where he and his students were visiting his masters in China.
    Hope to find it again and post it here.


    Kind regards,
    Xian

    Seems a bit reminiscent of Liu He Tanglangquan to me.

    There are two types of Chinese martial artists. Those who can fight and those who should be teaching dance or yoga!

    53 years of training, 43 years of teaching and still aiming for perfection!

    That's... interesting... I spent a long time in Shanxi and never came across Mantis.

    Village styles (Fanshi Dao for instance) and Xingyiquan, LOTS of that and Taiji, of course, a little Baji, but no Mantis.

    Shaanxi and Shanxi are two different provinces.
