School

Our staff has been teaching the secrets of Kung Fu and Taiji (Tai Chi) for over 15 years. Located on a three acre wooded lot, offering a peaceful atmosphere, the institute was founded in 1989 by Stanley Tabor to promote traditional Chinese Martial Arts.

Shifu Stan Tabor

Mr. Tabor began training in martial arts in 1972 and has been instructing students for over twenty years. In that time, he has produced many successful competitors who have earned numerous gold medals. At the 1999 Kuo Shu Internationals, an international tournament in Baltimore, MD, his students received the 'Team Trophy' award for winning the most gold medals during that year's competition. He also has won gold medals in several competitions, most notably during a trip to China in 1999. Mr. Tabor continues to promote traditional Chinese martial arts and has had some of his own students certified as instructors, thereby ensuring that the Mantis Kung Fu system will continue to grow.
