Green Mantis Kung Fu

Traditional Martial Arts & Medicine School & Clinic

 

Green Mantis Kung Fu is a Traditional School, Bookstore, Clinic and Research Center.  Sifu Martin D. Werner L.Ac. has been studying internal arts for over 30 years.  He has been teaching since 1984 when he was given formal permission from his instructor.  Martin has studied many lineages of any system he teaches openly.  This is to gain a complete understanding of the art.  Having studied with over 20 Chinese masters and in over 40 styles both in the United States and in China, he continues to train because he is dedicated to learning all there is to know about the arts he teaches.  His classes emphasize self-improvement, contentment, enlightenment and above all else, virtue.

School and Clinic

1344 West University Dr.

Mesa, AZ

(Between Dobson and Alma School)

 

Research Center

Chandler, AZ has over 4,000 books.---------------------------------- 2009 marks the 25 anniversary of Green Mantis Kung Fu. -------“Titles should be earned. Until I am to the student what the title means they should call me Martin.” For those who do research before joining you should visit the Mesa school. Most of the paper trail for Martin is on the wall for your viewing. What Professor Dr. Reverend Sifu Martin D. Werner D.D. L.Ac. B.S. A.A. L.M.T. L.O.A. S.P. A.A. has earned in titles is but a fraction of what he has learned. The titles like the paper trail are there to help those who need motivation to take the time to get to know the person. To find a good student is harder then it is to find a good teacher. These web sites were produced to help Green Mantis find people the school can teach and the clinic can help. http://greenmantis.20m.com/ http://www.myspace.com/kung_fu_ http://www.martialarts.mysite.com/index.html Martin is a volunteer editor for the Wudang Warrior http://wudang.20m.com/

 

Medicine and martial applications are the two halves of one whole art
