7 Stars, 6 Harmonies


Back from Cologne. Over dinner with the guys from work I went with, turns out one of them studied 7-star Mantis for more than 10 years when he was younger. We had a good chat about it, and especially about how Kung Fu seems, both physically and philosophically, much subtler than Karate. I believe the style of Mantis I know is 6-Harmony. Not sure what the differences are - it wasn't really appropriate for us to start demonstrating our mad skills to one another in the middle of a restaurant in Germany!
Women's Kickboxing Friday night. Good class. Unfortunately one of the teen-aged girls came over all faint half way through. We sat her down and tried to get some more fresh air into the training hall, which was quite warm - she hadn't bought a drink with her, which is always a mistake, so we got her some water. She sat out for a while, but was keen to join in again towards the end, so hopefully it hasn't put her off too much.
