Shorinryu Sensei Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't the obvious person you need to go to if you're having specific questions of problems with something with your training...is your instructor? What are you paying him for if you can't go to him to help you be a better martial artist?If he/she won't help you, you're in the wrong dojo. You're paying them to teach you and you should expect them to help you with problems with kata or techniques. Go to him/her and ask them these questions. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
Son Goku the monkeyking Posted December 5, 2005 Author Posted December 5, 2005 has any1 even heard OR STUDIED Tan-Tui style kungfu with mantis incorporated into it in the first place.
ovine king Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 i know tan tui.specifically, i know the sup yee lo tan tui.it is a style all by itself but is also sometimes used as a "basic training" in some schools before going onto more esoteric forms.I did the tan tui as basic training for shao-lin.during my tan tui training, i did in parallel, some shoa-lin sup sik as a 'hard' counter art for the more flowing tan tui forms.this is where i am confused.tan tui is probably the most common set of forms within long fist styles. mantis is not a long fist style. Even northern schools of mantis has a clearly short bridge flavour to them. Without knowing what mantis it is you are doing, I am not the best person, despite knowing tan tui, to answer.what is it you are having problems with, the mantis or the tan tui?are you having problem performing the tan tui set or having problem applying it?or are you asking what the tan tui set is? earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.

( plum flower mantis, shaolin mantis, or tai-chi praying mantis) so yes my style is like a basic training kungfu before u are able to learn advanced sytems of kungfu. and since u are training up to balck sash and then between 3 different versions of mantis kungfu thats probley y u did not no wat i was talken bout.

shogeri Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 It might not hurt to ask around where you are at, work with other students or your instructor. Perhaps search amazon.com or google search it.Good luck in your search!
