Green Mantis Kung Fu

 Sifu Martin D. Werner L.Ac. has been studying internal arts for over 35 years. He has been teaching since 1984 when he was given formal permission from his instructor. Martin has studied several lineages in each of the systems he teaches openly. By this, one gains a complete and multi-dimensional understanding of the art.

Having studied with 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. 

Green Mantis Kung Fu is a Traditional School, Bookstore, Clinic and Research Center, which Martin founded to teach and practice medicine. His classes emphasize self-improvement, contentment, enlightenment and above all else, virtue.
