New Mantis Student here

[keef321]

Hi Nick,

Nice 2 hear from another new starter

TKD like all arts has something to offer, I do not regret my years of training in it because I enjoyed it at the time and might not have got interested in martial arts if not for it, but like you thought that it had something missing.

The mantis system certianly does seem to be rounded and varied, think there is a lifetime of study!

Webbb82 ,
Who do you train under in Worcester ? I had heard that the LKW club there had closed ?

[waylander]

Is this correct ?

Keef321,
You say that you are new to 7 star and have only been training for 7 months under shifu Frearson ? Why are you using the same handle as one of his instructors from the Moi Fa Chinese Boxing Academy who according to his profile has been training since 1993 ? A shifu David Graham who uses Keef321 for his email address ? Are you one in the same ? If so then you are an instructor not a beginner .

Waylander,

I personally think a private message would have been more appropriate, but as you ask in the open I will reply in the open.

Let me help you clear up any confusion as follows:

1. This post was originally started by me in 2003, so it was in 2003 that I had only been training for 7 months, it is now 2006 and this thread has just been resurected by monkeyfoot.

2. If you read the posts correctly you will notice I stated “I am learning from a student of Sifu Frearson”, as in my Sifu.

3. Yes Sifu David Graham uses keef321 for his CLUB CONTACT email address, I am just simply doing him a favour as he does not have regular internet access. He asked me to deal with Internet requests on his behalf. I simply deal with queries for him, reply on his behalf etc, anyone contacting this email address is made aware that I am a student not the sifu but if necessary will relay questions etc.

4. I am not using Sifu David Grahams handle, this has always been my handle and email address. When Sifu dave does post on the net it is under his own handle.

I hope this clarifies things, sorry for any confusion.

P.S. Why the detective work over my Profile?

It happens, man… All in the name of lineages and legitimacy, a lot of people (myself included) like to verify that incoming information is sound. I wouldn’t take offense to it.

Keef321,
No offence mean’t .My own fault for not reading the dates correctly . It is from passed experience that people like to pretend to be less ( or more ) than what they are or like to use others details , as to why ?
