Thank you for the tribute. I am in the 7 Star Mantis Martial Family and had spoken with and done some forms with Dr. Cheng just a few years ago at the Mantis meetup in California. I didn't even know of him as a doctor at the tine, just a great Mantis practitioner with a huge heart and great smile, part of our Mantis family. I was so saddened to hear of the tragic event, but as the reporter nited, less tragic for Cheng's involvement. So there's that, but it still hurts. He is a true hero. Every time I say "Cheng!" I think of him. 👑❤️🙏
Thank you for honoring my training brother Dr. John Cheng. It is really a sad day for the Mantis Kung Fu community to lose such a great man, martial artist and Dr. A true Scholar Warrior 🙏
True martial spirit is to be selfless and courageous. This is what traditional arts training teaches that's missing in modern arts. It's far more important a lesson than speed or skills alone. The courage to use the art for more than clout
