7 Star Praying Mantis Kung fu

My kungfu training started in 1988 with the late Leslie Reed sifu of the South African chapter of the International Taijiquan and Shaolin Wushu Association.

I started teaching at Leslie sifu's school at the end of 1988 and was allowed to open my own school at the beginning of 1989. Through our connection with Derek Frearson sifu we managed to travel to and train in China, where I was lucky to experience some tuition at the Shaolin temple.

And also with Lee Kam Wing sifu who is the inheritor of the Seven Star Praying Mantis style. Since the untimely passing of Leslie sifu (3rd March 2003) I now continue teaching under the direct guidance of Derek sifu.
