may I ask, and it turns out there are no martial arts depots, around me. Where is Northenr mantis kung fu, don't really care abotu style, as I will probably visit all and then train in the one that feels right? SO can anyone tell me, where there is mantis kung fu in the area of Troy, MI?

I think you're out of luck.

you can look on my map (http://www.listphile.com/i_wushu_i_instruction_north_america) which so far has something in ann arbor & something in grand rapids I believe. start clicking on the map till you get a close up of michigan.

Well, it would be quite a drive for you but I train 7 * Praying Mantis in Midland. I think that is slightly less than a 2 hour drive for you.

The school is Chung's School of Praying Mantis. If you'd like some more info, post here or send me an e-mail.

Sifu Lee's Taiji Praying Mantis is in Grand Rapids. Sifu Chung is an excellent resource as well.
Sifu Lee is really "the man" in West Michigan. Low profile, and a handful of students. Very traditional. I was with him for a number of years. Will go back again someday too Buddha willing and the Yangze dont rise:)

lol... I guess I should have checked the date on that post!!
