Hello guys... I have been doing northern mantis for over 2 years. i recently learned that the schedule is going to be changed, making it impossible for me to attend.
I thought of switching schools, and since that's the only mantis school in orange county i have to switch styles.
Any...
dont rush. the trick is not to only know them but the trick to chinese martial arts is excessive repetition which will lead to perfection. Your 3-directionals should result in better everything else, so do not rush too much. take your time.
as for your question i guess you can either be bored...

i missed the whole discussion so im going back to origin. I do not think people who follow those religions think their religions should be immune from criticism. The the wester way of criticizing religions if pretty offensive since westerners mostly are too arrogant to try to understand what...
