In silence and isolation,  I'm driven on the road of self mastery, Hakka Mantis Kung Fu,  the vehicle by which I will get there. All for use, Nothing for show, including self. As much a spiritual understanding as a physical one.

After spending time in several martial arts, traditional american karate, taekwondo, western boxing, and wing chun, I find that souther praying mantis has a better balance of mind and body.  There isn't a school for this art anywhere close to me, so what information I study from is books, videos, and your video set.  Out of what I have, you have broken down the fundamentals in a way that makes it incredible easy to digest, and not have to decipher between fluff and usable content. I'm hoping this site will add to my current understand, and hope I can find someone in my local area to train with.

Joshua Durham

Hi, My name is Joshua Durham. I am a retired Chief Gunners Mate of the United States Navy, and have been training in various arts since I was in late elementary school. Since joining the service I have primarily studied Chinese systems, and primarily focused on Pak Mei, and Wuzuquan of the Kan tek Guan lineage. of the 5 Ancestors systems, it is considered the most heavily influenced by White Crane and has been refered to as Yong Chun Baihe Wuzuquan by some. Have had the chance to train in a few "internal styles as well. Over the years have fallen in love with the Hakka systems, which seem to have kept more of their history, principles, and skill development compared to many arts, as well as having a morale code that is laid out fairly plainly. Looking forward to training and interacting with all.

Rolando Corzo

Hi, I was born July 23 and practiced Wado Ryu as a child. My teachers were the reason I left martial arts, until recently, when I began rekindling my love for Kung Fu. I hope to make up for lost time.

Bernard Langan

I have studied martial and restorative arts intensively for over 34 years and I am an instructor and practitioner of Ba Gua, Hsing-I, Chen Pan Ling style Tai Chi, I Liq Chuan (a Hakka Internal Art from Maylaysia), Pentjak Silat, Visayan Eskrima, Taoist Nei Gung and Chi Gung.  I have a particular interest in the a fields of Bodywork, Movement Education and Biomechanics.  As various arts developed in response to one another - I enjoy doing extensive cross-discipline research in martial, meditative, healing and movement systems. I strive to clearly articulate the synthesis of this knowledge and impart these skills to sincere students;  respecting each system, and maintaining their integrity as separate disciplines.  Currently I am training as a student in White Crane, Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu, San Gen Kai under Dan Harden and Shastar Vidiya a Northern Indian Martial Art. I have a thriving full time clinical practice and teaching studio in the San Francisco Bay Area - Oakland CA.  www.stillnessinmotion.com  - I have a particular fascination and affinity with Hakka systems and am excited about being a part of this training program.

Petros Karkaris

My interest in Chinese Martial Arts has been keen and strong for the last 40 years of my life. I have trained in various styles of Kung fu specially Shaolin and in particular the Fukien Shaolin as taught by Rev. Shaolin Abbot Shi Gao Cun of Singapore. I knew about Hakka Martial Arts but I did not knew how powerful and rich they are. I m very glad to have found Shifu RDH and study with him every aspect of Hakka Mantis.

Marcel van Rooijen

Started in 1976 with Jiujitsu and Taekwondo. In 1980 I started with Shaolin Kempo (a mixed style of Shaolin Kungfu and Kuntao, brought from Indonesia to the Netherlands by Dutch/Indonesian immigrants in the 1950s). In 1982 I started to train Hsiang Chia Mantis in Germany. Other styles I trained in the Netherlands are Silat Tuo Minangkabau, Krav Maga, Taiji, Xingyi and Chu Gar Mantis. Although I like all styles I trained, my heart is with mantis boxing. Unfortunately, due to health problems I had to step back and cannot train in a class any longer. But as martial arts still fascinates me, I am still training alone the techniques and forms I learned in the earlier days.

Juan Rivera

I have been involved in Martial Arts since I was a kid. I started practicing Shaolin Kempo when I was a kid. Then, I got involved with taekwondo for a couple of years.
Then I stop training because of the University. Then one day, I found an Aikido school downtown so I got involved right away maybe because I was a fan of sensei Steven Seagel and I said to myself hey! here I can learn what he does. So, I could say that nowadays I'm an aikidoka but my sensei has been out of the city for several years so I haven't been able to continue with my Aikido training.

I have trained in different martial arts and various forms of self-defense since the 1970s. However, from the early 1980's up until today I have been a student of Hakka Mantis ( Initially, I was taught by a student of Sifu GinFoonMark in the early 1980s. In 2000, I became a video correspondence student of   Sifu Hagood.  The video correspondence program was terminated after Sifu Hagood moved to China. Therefore I traveled from New Jersey to train under Sifu Louie Jack Man somewhere between 2001-2003 in Philadephia, PA . Sifu Louie was still at the school but no longer teaching students.   However, his top student was instructing so I trained under him for that duration. I have remained one of Sifu Hagood's many correspondence students ever since 2000.

Ian Harp

Interested in Classical Chinese Culture. The study of classical Chinese medicine, with an eye towards correct point location (acupuncture), and diagnosis (face, pulse). At this point in my studies, i'm starting to understand how herbal, acupuncture/moxa compliment each other. My martial arts journey started when I started researching Dian Xue. I understand, that unless someone cultivates Martial virtues, understanding secrets on there own, are from a teacher will be in vain.
I had the pleasure to study Baoding Shuai Jiao under David Lin of Atlanta, Georgia. Combat, and practical application was stressed.

I love martial arts.  My goal has never been to be the toughest, nor the most skilled fighter, but I've always just wanted to belong to a group of like minded individuals who can learn from one another.  Now almost 3 decades into martial arts, my sifu has retired and turned the school and association over to my hands, I feel as if it's time to grow up and seek out even more knowledge than before.  I have felt safe under the wings of having a Master to consider like a father...a very stern father...and now I am seeking Masters from other systems so I can further grow my knowledge base.  We are here to keep the traditions alive, but we don't have to stay cooped up within a certain style.  Our family style alone was created from multiple other systems, and isn't it our responsibility to keep fresh blood flowing through the veins of our arts?  I'm here to humbly ask for teaching, to be taught, humbled and shown just how little I am in the world of martial arts.  And through these kinds of lessons, I am stripped of my fears, taught to accept my flaws and weaknesses, and the child within me can once again laugh with joy as my eyes sparkle golden with happiness.  I love being part of a community of like-minded individuals who seek learning.  Thank you for having me amongst your ever-so-growing numbers.

I have trained several martial arts since age 13 and hold black belts in karate (Okinawa shorin ryu) and Japanese jiu-jitsu. A couple of years ago I started training in hakka mantis kung fu under the guidance of RDH sifu. I paid visits to the Shenzhen (China) area and trained in person with sifu, which was a great experience that I can recommend anyone interested in learning in-depth from the source.

The southern mantis style has always been of great interest to me.
So when I decided to start to devote some time to martial arts again Im happy to find this great resource.

I've loved the Chinese martial arts for over 50 years and want to go on learning until I die. Only in the last 15 years or so have I come to appreciate the importance of the Southern Hakka arts - this looks like a good place to further my understanding of them and, I hope, my practice. Thanks for the opportunity!
