Back on the Tanglang Train
Today I called my 师伯 于斌 (gongfu uncle yu bin) to speak with him about when to visit him in 青岛 (Qingdao). So, this Thursday night we (Hanno and me) are goona take the night train to 青岛 where 于斌 and his student are gonna pick us up at the train station. My 师伯 was really happy to hear from me and me, I’m also really looking forward to meeting and training with him again. Hanno’s only gonna stay for the weekend, but I’m maybe staying a little longer to enjoy some more of the 山东螳螂拳 (Shandong Tanglang Quan).
Also I contacted Ma Wei Ling Laoshi today and will meet him tonight together with Hanno for some 马家螳螂拳 (Ma Family Tanglang Quan). I hope my 4 摘要 (Zhai Yao) are still correct and ok
This is also a good opportunity for Hanno to get to know some other style of 螳螂拳 and be able to train some of it while in 北京 (Beijing).
Yesterday I met up with my gongfu brother Rene, who also used to train with Ma Laoshi and Mike Martello. He’s living in Beijing now and as the Massage Junkie that he is, he invited me to a nice Oil Massage, which was suprisingly light and unpainful. Afterwards we had some 韩式烤肉 (Korean BBQ). We’ll most probably meet up soon with him and Zhang Xin Bin Laoshi for some talks and 通背 (Tongbei) training. So it seems like I’ll be having some pretty gongfu filled time coming…
