many memories

It may not seem so, the distance they can cover and speed
that they have is quite amazing.

The training was pretty good very real, the Korean students were quite good, and extremely fast.

After training in Korea, I would later meet with teacher Brendan Lai of 7-star mantis, to check out some of the movements.
The type of mantis taught in Korea was named “plum flower” a little different then 7-star which to me had very tight
compact movements as taught by teacher Lai.


As a style the movements were set up so that things would end very quickly once contact was made, like many mantis styles
they could cover ground very fast.
The Teacher Mr Park as I would call him had an interesting history.

Park Chil Sung
His name is also romanized as:
Park Chi Moon.
Shifu Park Chil Sung was born in 1930 in what is now North Korea. He first began studying gong fu within his family at a very young age (around 7 or 8 years old). He later traveled around the Korean peninsula studying under any master he could find. At that time he met his main master, shifu Lin Ping Jiang.

During the Korean war he along with most other young men from his home town were recruited to fight for the south as guerilla fighters not actually associated with the formal army. After the war he was able to relocate to the south and has not seen his family since then.
Shifu Park Chil Sung worked for some time after the war for the South Korean equivalent of the American CIA, training in hand to hand combat.

He has been teaching at Camp Casey Tongdushon (a U.S. Army post just south of the DMZ - north of Seoul) since the 70's, with many of his students being U.S. Military personnel. In the year 2000 he was still alive and teaching in Korea

I have seen quite a bit of Mantis training come out of Korea that looked good, this qualifies as well. Thank you for posting.

Mr Lee , was one of Mr Parks students. He also taught his own students at the time.
People talk of sparing, not really possible with this style in the conventional sense.

Mr Park, he would never mention his teacher's name. In trying to find out more about his history we would go to his house and drink….
and then ask him...He would just laugh.

His family, was very gracious preparing many Korean meals,
after training in his private gym at his house.
