Some of the Best Mantis Masters to come out of Mainland China. Be Well. N.M.

The first man is Fang Huanyi of Eight Step PM. He is listed at the Mantis Cave as the student of Jiang Hua Long and teacher of Wei Xiao Tang. He was born in 1879 A.D. and was nicknamed "Ghost Shadow" due to his fast footwork.Originally Posted by Graculus

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!

Thank-you gentlemen for your informative answers.
I love these kinds of pictures, but I'm not particularly well up on who's who in the mantis world.

Here is what I have in my notes from long ago:
Hao Lian Ru 郝 莲 茹 (1864 - 1914 A.D.) of Mu Ping County, Shandong was a disciple of Liang Xue Xiang. He, along with his sons Hao Henglu and Hao Hengxin, and his grandson Hao Bin created Tai Ji Mei Hua Tang Lang in the early twentieth century.
