Hello, my name is Sean.

Through living in Tainan, Taiwan for the past few years, I had the opportunity and priviledge of studying with Master Kevin Brazier (Tainan Mantis). Unfortunately the time came to move on, and I sadly had to say good-bye (for now) to Kevin. However, myself and Marie (who also studied with Master Kevin) are now settled temporarily in the Toronto area. My question is, does anyone know of any Mantis schools in Toronto?
Even to stretch and practise with a friend would be wonderful. Thanks for any information anyone may have. Our thoughts and positive energy are with Kevin and his family this week…

note: the website hasn’t been updated in a while. Mainly a Plum Blossom school now I think instead of 8 Harmony. Some of the members go to China to train regularly.

there’s also a bunch of schools at Midland/Finch area

Hi Sean,

Welcome back to Canada. :slight_smile: If you and Marie ever wanted to visit the north, please come to Yellowknife. You will be most welcome to come train and have fun. I am not sure if Kevin mentioned that he visited me in 2002 and we had a great time.

Our hearts and thoughts are with Kevin and his family as well.

Warm regards

Robert

Hi Empty Cup

You are most welcome. Good to hear from you. I hope you will find a suitable school for you soon. Sorry about the link. It is now fixed. Please try it again. It should work with just one click. I have a schools and clubs folder on my forum. It has a few schools that we know of in North America in different threads. Please feel free to browse arround. We hope to provide most if not all of the available schools info. from our style arround the world eventually.

Warm regards

ok I found it now is says that Sifu Rupert Harvey teaches in Toronto, and it says he learned from Rob Moses who in turn learned from Dr. Kam Yuen.

I have no clue who these ppl are due to my ignorance in Mantis knowledge :slight_smile: Can anybody tell me a thing or two?

thanks.

I’ll let someone else speek on his teachers, but it terms of skill, Master Harvey is good, real good, his chin na is crazy, also his PM skills are top notch.
