Hello everyone,

Wondering if anyone knows of any Southern Praying Mantis schools in the Chicago-land area. I believe there is one in Algonquin, Illinois. I met a Sifu who taught in this city back in May of last year at the USKSF tournament in Madison, Wisconsin. I really enjoyed talking to him because he was very passionate about his art and I could see he was a fighter.

I am trying to locate a Southern Praying Mantis seminar so I can learn more and experience some of the system.

I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin so this is the reason I am choosing Illinois since it is a rather close drive. However, I have heard that Gin Foon Mark has his headquaters in Minnesota. If anyone knows of a SPM seminar please post.

Thank you for your time.

Angelo
