I have the chinese characters for my style, I just need to look them up to know their exact translation to roman characters. (I don’t have a scanner.) But here is how they are pronounced:
Teh-Guk-Meh-Wha-Dung-Lung-Kwan
Anyone have any idea what this style is, supposedly we are the last of this line, that’s why my Sifu is very hopeful I will continue to train hard and carry on the style.
Also, does anyone know a good website for translating chinese characters?
Teh-Guk-Meh-Wha-Dung-Lung-Kwan = Tai Chi Plum Flower Praying Mantis
The Mandarin Pinyin for that would be “Tai ji mei hua tang lang quan.”
Thank you both very much! That may just be it. I had a feeling before that it was Tai Ji Praying Mantis because I saw a book on my Sifu’s shelf that had that title in English on it’s spine. He also has a poster that show’s the Tai Chi forms.
Now I just want to look up the chinese characters to corroberate what you have told me.
If you know of a website that tells more about “Tai Chi Plum Flower Praying Mantis” and or show’s it’s chinese characters, I’d really appreciate it. Until then I have much searching to do.
Thanks again.
Here are the Chinese characters for “Tai ji mei hua tang lang quan”:
Onyomi, thank you so much once again! It is confirmed, Tai ji mei hua tang lang quan is my style!
That’s quite something that you could potentialy save the style from extinction. Godspeed to you.
I sense sarcasm…
Well I’m glad to know that this style is alive and well in other parts of the world, perhaps it’s just here in Korea where it’s not around much anymore.
None at all. I meant every word.
