This weekend Jake Burroughs, a Tai Ji Mei Hua and Liu He instructor from New Mexico, held a seminar at Jochen Wolfgramms Kung Fu school in Osnabrück. Me and Arne decided to go, too as we were curious about meeting other practitioners of our art. Besides us there were some of Jochen’s students, Daniel Hester and Mike Martello laoshi with some of his belgian students.
I think we all had a great time seeing the art we all have in common from a diffrent angle of view and also having a very prolific and open exchange of knowledge.

Thanks to Jake, for sharing with us some of his secret stuff ;) and also to Jochen and Danny who managed this wonderful weekend.
Also I’m happy to have met Mike Martello Laoshi and his very dedicated students, whom we hopefully will be able to visit in near future.
It’s great to finally have met René Ming Hui who helped us meeting his teacher Ma Wei Ling when we were in [http://www.tanglang.info/lazy-index.php?file=Beijing%2004/|Bejing last November].
Thanks to all who participated and made this weekend a very pleasent and unforgettable one. I hope there will be more such events in future so that the worldwide mantis communtiy gets stronger and more integrated with time.
