"TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL
PROGRAMS"
...I’ve seen these films. I’m also a collector of martial arts videos and can honestly say the instructional format on this Southern Mantis Basic Instructional Series is the best I’ve ever seen. You can learn from these tapes...

...The clarity and camera angles are above average. Lighting and sound is equally adequate. The kungfu is easily seen as expert. The teaching format is first class. Definitely, this is the best instructional series I’ve seen - watch it in progression...

...1997, Sifu Hagood, himself, presents in clear concise detail full explanations of each skill and then students demonstrate step by step the foundation and fundamental skills. Thank you Sifu Hagood for raising my understanding of traditional kungfu not only southern mantis...

...Without a doubt the large amount of fine Kung Fu skills taught on these (videos) are extremely valuable for anyone with the desire to develop themselves into a traditional martialist!
Over the last decade I have been involved in, and researched, numerous martial arts and I can honestly say the skills, principles and teaching progression of this series helped me grow and understand more about martial art!
Sifu Hagood's willingness...to pass on what he has learned over the...decades...is something that should not be passed up.
