Li Deng Wu
Praying Mantis Shifu
The information presented in this chart was collected from different sources -see bibliography-, therefore the romanizations in Pinyin according to the Mandarin pronunciation of the characters sometimes is not available. If you find any mistakes or inaccuracies please contact me.
His name is also romanized as:
Li Teng Wu.
Son and of Li Kun Shan. Acccording to his disciple Liao Wei Neng, shifu Li Deng Wu did not finish the style Mei Hua Tang Lang under his father tutelage.
Both father and son broke relations over a situation, therefore shifu Li Deng Wu completed the style learning from his father's gong-fu brothers and from the shifu Song Zi De lineage.
That explains the differences in the movements and techniques between the shifu Li Deng Wu students and other shifu Li Kun Shan students. Li Kun Shan's Tang Lang displays more of a Chang Quan characteristic compared to Li Deng Wu's one.
