Thanks for posting that Phu, I was getting round to posting the site but you beat me to it :P.
I have quite a lot of footage on tape (jook lum, chow gar, chu gar) that i will be putting up time permitting. Just takes a while to capture from vhs to pc and edit it, and then convert that for the web while also thinking about webspace, bandwidth and quality! and juggling training, work, famly, friends gf..oh and more training.. :D.
But primarily i want it to be a resource that focuses on content (articles, images, video) for hakka / mantis / those people interested in learning more.
It would be nice if other forum members could contribute if they wanted. Writing articles about their family style / history / training / their training in mantis how they got into it? Just some ideas.
Donating images and clips would be cool!! If anyone wants to help / is interested / can be bothered … please do email me mantis@tonglong.co.uk … also if anyone can mention some southern mantis links i can reciprocate with that i dont have already.
Would be great to get some info / footage of mantis arts like iron ox , chi gar, 13 roads, beggars hand too…
But Paul Whitrods tapes are very basic…and wayyy too expensive. If you aren’t getting shown, the stuff he’s showing in his tapes, in your own kung fu school then you need to find a new one.
I am in the process of capturing some footage of USA Jook Lum Mantis stuff from vhs, it would be of interest to you i think. I will let you know when i get round to putting it online.
Just added the full 6 minute section of the BBC’s Mind, Body & Kick Ass Moves documentary on Southern Chow Gar Praying Mantis Kung Fu featuring Sifu Ip Chee Keung and Si Gung Ip Sui.
I looked but you are not registered, i was going to send you a PM. So on here
i will just say that i spent most time with Mark Foon and other time with other Jook
Lum teachers from the same Pai.
does anyone have information on Hakka styles of southern mantis, &/or if there are any teachers of southern mantis in NYC? i’d be interested in checking them out and learning more about southern mantis firsthand.
Should coming over to Florida in January and was looking to visit any SPM schools / classes. Anyone know of any i can visit if all goes to plan? Things to do and places to visit may also help :).
