Good advice everybody,keep it coming if you have anymore comments or suggestions.As for stonecrushers comment,I think that this is the only SPM school in my city being that most chinese martial arts schools in my area are mostly Northern Shaolin, Wing Chun, or Tai Chi.There are more chinese styles but they are harder to find. Also I've heard that SPM shares some similarities with Tai Chi and Wing Chun,any comments on that?And one more thing what weapons does SPM teach for the most part?
