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.

AikidoI 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.
Ian Harp
Combat Baoding Shuai JiaoInterested 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.

Hakka MantisI 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.

Uechi Ryu KarateWay back in the late '80s when I lived in Florida, I studied Jook Lum under Poo Yee for a while. After he left, I looked for something similar, and, ended up taking Uechi Ryu. More recently, after moving here to Tennessee, I did some Bak Mei, but, though these other schools superficially look like Jook Lum, they just don't have the same feel. I'm basically looking for exercise at my age (58), and, over the years, I've tried to practice what I remember, but, that didn't do the trick. Now that I've found this site, I'm going to take advantage of these new resources. Thank you.

Meeting him in Boston at a workshop in the 90s, confirmed he has a high hand.

KarateI 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.

Bagua, Taiji, Xingyi, I Liq ChuanI'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!

Chow/Chu Gar TonglongI have trained in numerous martial arts/sports since 1991. I came across a local Mantis School in 2000. I didn't start training back then but trained in a MMA school that was very Kungfu orientated and heavily influenced by SPMKF. During this time, I took up other martials arts such as Taekwondo, Mixma Martial Arts, Yang Taiji, Chen Taiji, Bagua, Wingchun and then SPMKF in 2014. I train often in soft and hard bridge gongs, as well as partner drills when I can. I am currently not aligned with any particular linage or school, but look forward to training under the Hakka Mantis system.
Charles Clemens
leisure livingI started martial arts training with boxing, back in 1972, to improve my hockey game. In 1989, I began training Shorin-Ryu karate, then learned Kong Jing, 8 Pieces of Brocade, Tien Tao Chi Gong, Yang Tai Chi, Isshin Ryu, Goju Ryu, Tai Kwon Do, and Shiho Karano Ryu. Since destroying both rotator cuffs by trying to learn to use 9-Ring Broadswords, my training has been reduced to gentler, internal training. I enjoy seated chi kung, meditation, and dipping my toes into Hakka Mantis via this website.

Kenpo / JujutsuI will be 49 in a couple days (1/9/19). I recently opened a very small school in the suburbs of Detroit Michigan teaching Tracy's Kenpo Karate and lightsaber classes. I know lightsabers sound funny to many people but it is a lot of fun and is an inexpensive way to explore fencing styles from around the world.

Chu GarI grew up fighting my way to and from school then moving from that adventure into a more structured martial arts environment.
I have spent a large part of my life so far, studying, practicing and teaching different styles of martial arts.
My wife and I were thrilled to find this program and see that it was so well instructed. It's perfect for our body types and for our desire to learn something very traditional and an art where I can empty my head an not be the one teaching. I bring nothing to this art but an empty vessel.
Chu Gar appeals to me both because it fits my body type but also, I have always loved things that are a bit on the obscure side. I'm loving the training and plan to be at it for a long time.
Mantis on everyone!!

Hung Kuen PractitionerI’ve studied Hung Kuen, Choy Li Fut, Wing Chun, 7 Star Praying Mantis, but primarily practiced Hung Kuen for 40 plus years specializing in the Iron Wire Form I credit for maintaining my health. Early years growing up in NYC as a Kung-Fu student and martial arts enthusiast I was exposed to Kwong Sai Jook Lum Nam Tong Long by way of a friend who introduced me to some fundamentals of the style and shared with me fascinating stories of Grand Master Lam Seng. Later I’d sought additional instruction at the Chinese Freemason Athletic Association and while I’d learned additional fundamentals life happens and I chose not to pursue further opportunities to pursue studying Southern Praying Mantis. Yet the limited exposure I had to Southern Praying Mantis has remained with me through the years and continues to hold a special place in my heart.

XingyiquanIm 37 , live in Illinois. I've been practicing martial arts on and off since i was 14. I started in JKD and later trained in hebei xingyiquan which is my main style although ive dabbled in various styles over the years. My first exposure to southern mantis was training with a small group of chow gar guys. Something about the style just clicked with me, so im hoping to gain a little more knowledge of this system.

Frank Perio
U.S. Kwongsai Jook LumAfter 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.

Pak Mei. Wuzuquan.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.

Chinese Kung FuI 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.

Hakka MantisMy 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.

Hsiang Chia Mantis and Chu Gar mantisStarted 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.
