I think I might have found a school. It's In Vermillion, Ohio, and the sifu is Rikk Mayr. His page is here . I visited the school but the day I visited he happened to be preparing a student for a demonstration and I didn't really get a sense of what the classes are like. One thing that worried me was there were no mats or bags in the whole place and the senior student, although very nice, looked like a twig. I am really looking for a hard hitting school and no bags or mats kinda worried me. Has anyone heard of him, his lineage, or his school? I don't know anything about master Will Duncan or the two gandmasters he learned from (his lineage is on his website). He did say he learned some southern mantis from grandmaster Chan Pui. Any info on this would be great
thanks,
adam
