I’m interested in broadening my martial arts experience. A friend recommends 7 star. My only MA experience is Chung Moo Doe (I know, I know, no flames please!)Wah Lum is the only authentic Kung Fu that I know of in this area. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I don’t think there is any 7-Star in Orlando. The only Mantis I know of is Wah Lum (which is a really good forms school). Check down at East Coast Martial Arts Supply on Colonial (Hwy 50) and see what they say (Ask for Carl). Maybe a school moved in since I’ve been there. You can learn some great Northern Style Basics and Forms (both empty hand and weapons) at Wah Lum. Stop in for a visit and watch a class. Also, this weekend there is probably some kick butt lion dancing and kung fu going around town from Wah Lum for Chinese New Year. Stop in and get their itinerary.
Hope this helps.

7 star mantis
no 7 star in orlando. but there is wah lum, three treasures, and o mei in otown. personally i prefer wah lum. wah lums forms are extremely good and s a good blend of northern mantis and tam tui. you might also check in with tom turcotte if wah lum isnt your choice.
wah lum power will never go sour!!!

O-Mei Kungfu/Wushu.. is a good school with great forms, basics, etc. Wah Lum is also popular. I suggest you stop in to watch/try class and decide what’s best for you. If you need info: www.wahlum.com or for O-Mei (407) 339-8336.

Where is the O-Mei scool located?
We’re all Students of Life
The school is located on US17-92 near SR436 (across from the Jai-Alai - in the Winn Dixie shopping plaza). The exact address is: 7800 S. Highway 17/92 Suite 132, Fern Park, FL 32730. From I-4 EXIT 48 (436/Altamonte Springs) and head towards 17/92, turn right onto 17/92 and the plaza entrance is about 3 lights down on the right). If you need further assistance, feel free to call the school or e-mail.

Hey Andrew. Yep.. it’s me. Good to hear from you. Yep.. it’s pretty obvious. Next time I’ll make post from a new user name that’s less obvious.. how’s “taichibob123?” heh. Talk to you later. Keep up with your training!

Grand Opening
wushuboy
When does it get started? Guess I’ll have to sneak out to get there in time.
It starts at around 2:00pm. Also, the school is not directly accross from Jai Ali, but a just little bit further down.. on the 4th light (not 3rd as posted earlier). There will be a demonstration and a taichi/chi kung workshop… etc. Hope to see you there!
Correction
Sorry for the confusion… the plaza is at the 3rd light (just making sure so nobody passes the entrance). It shouldn’t be more than about a 1/2 mile from 436 so keep an eye out when you see a yellow auto shop (AutoZone?).
