Former mantis school in Toronto?

Wai Jia: The Kung Fu Forum Northern Praying Mantis
1

About 15 years ago I studied praying mantis on Saturdays at George Vanier High School in North York from (I think it was) Sifu Bo. The two disciples that I remember were Eric Gray and Mike White..

Sifu Bo was on the cover of the short lived canadian martial arts magazine one month.. Unfortunately, I gave my copy away years ago and never found another.

I’d like to hear from anyone that remembers this school, knows what happened to it, etc, etc.

Thanks

thats funny, you used to skate too. What I remember most about scarlboro is the black guys like carl allen, kenny, mikey stern used to attach keys on their skates, so when they rubber legged you could here them comming. HA HA back in the good ole days

skarbromantis…

sorry, i didn’t know if you preferred being adressed as “skarbromantis” or “skard1” but i was just curious to see if you still play tang lang actively in t.o. and, if yes, where and what style?

sincerely

There is also a sifu in scarbarough who was a student of the late grandmaster liu yun quao. He teaches 6 Harmony Mantis along with Baji and Bagua on the weekends i believe.
