Traditional Kung Fu in Arizona

[creq]

Gassho,

I used to practice Shorinji Kempo, but unfortunately there is no branch here in Phoenix/Tempe, AZ. I want to continue my training towards a traditional pure chinese style. It's been difficult to find a school here because many of them seem to have lost their zen/taoist roots. Does anybody know a good and respectable school in the valley that offers a traditional, pure, honorable, still rooted on zen or tao system of kung fu such as the praying mantis, crane, hsing-i, white eyebrow? Nothing against wing tsun, but I'm more interested in systems more closely related to zen or tao. Pure tai chi would not do it either unless it's taught aiming for chi gong AND combat.

Thanks, kesshu.

Carlo Requiao.

"Green Mantis Kung Fu" on University and Alma School in Mesa, just across from AT&T. Talk to Martin...you won't be disappointed.

I know plenty of southern CMA's there, but not too much in the way of Northern. Let me know if you're interested in southern CMA.
