Who brought Mantis to the US?
Who were the original teachers that brought Mantis Kung Fu to the US? In modern times I mean. Does anyone know the dates?
So far I have found this info at the Mantis Cave
Chiu Leun: Began teaching 7* in NYC in 1960.
Brendan Lai: Began teaching NPM in California in 1967.
Peter Kwong: Began teaching NPM in California in the 1960s.
Liang Kam Yuen: Began teaching in California in the late 1960s.
These are the earliest US teachers I could find.
Thanks in advance!
