It’s a nice clean site with content being it’s main focus. Go take a look, Phu Le ---

thanks 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](mailto: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… Regards Nish ---

One of my Sihings does Southern Praying Mantis too, although I’m not sure if it’s Chow Gar or Jook Lum or some other. . . . Fu-Pow, doesn’t Kevin do Jook Lum SPM? (if you get this message). ---

whitrod tapes No offense to anyone… 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’d like to hear some other people’s opinions. ---
