Don't all Shandong masters do a little tanglang? I mean it's the cradle of mantis after all.
Shandong has a rich martial tradition and a lot of Shaolin monks come from there, including several of the ones that I studied under directly. They all has some mantis too.
And don't forget, Shandong is the setting of
Outlaws of the Marsh, which feeds into the province's martial pride. There's styles that come from Liangshan in Shandong that echo Outlaws including Mizong and Ziwumen. I reported on that in our
Jan+Feb 2014 issue cover story,
The Kung Fu Legacy of Outlaws of the Marsh.
We even produced some videos on it.
Nice to hear y'all discussing stuff here again. Thanks for that.
