Grandmaster Sun De Yao is an internationally recognized master of Mei Hua Praying Mantis Kung Fu with students in many foreign countries. He was the founder of the "Hao Bin Mantis Boxing Martial Arts Center" in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China, where he instructed countless students inTaiji Mei Hua Tang Lang Quan (Taiji Plum Flower Praying Mantis) and Mei Hua Tang Lang Quan (plum Flower Praying Mantis). Master Sun has been elected as a committee member of the Shandong Wu Shu Society and his name has been compiled into Boxing Masters Dictionary.

Master Sun began learning praying mantis from his uncle, Hao Bin (AKA Hao Zi-Xien), and is the grandson of legendary Hao Heng Lu, "The Sword Magician." His lineage therefore is direct from Wang Lang (creator of praying mantis Fung Fu).

We are fortunate that GM Sun is now residing in the USA where he is training a new generation of students. He is a popular and sought after teacher.
