Two proud new Tai Mantis Disciples |
Two proud new Sifus in the kwoon!
On Saturday January 17th, Sifu Harvey was very proud to officially recognize his long-time student Richard Wong as 12th generation Tai Chi Praying Mantis Disciple in the North American system.
Sifu Richard Wong humbly accepted the certificate in front of a cheering crowd at the Golden Harmony kwoon. Sigong Rob Moses was personally present to oversee the ceremony and spoke a few words praising Sifu Wong, Sifu Harvey and Golden Harmony Kung Fu.
After reaching this important milestone, Sifu Richard Wong traveled back the next day to continue his training in Ottawa. We wish him all the best!!
Sifu Richard Wong thus joins Sifu Gordon Wicks in this well-deserved position after they trained intensively together for over ten years. They are now both 12th generation Tai Mantis and 39th generation Northern Shaolin Kung Fu masters and should be referred to as Sifu within Golden Harmony premises.
Check out The Mantis Cave for a full North American lineage chart of the Tai Mantis system. Both new Sifus will be listed there within in the next few weeks. |
