The Scholars, and archivers who document, preserve and share material on the Mantis system play a crucial role in keeping the art alive.
Their work gives practitioners something real to study—sources to compare, ideas to question, and context to understand why things are done, not just how. Without documentation, systems shrink into fragments, opinions replace knowledge, and important details get lost with time.
Research, archiving and publishing all take time, effort, and resources. These aren’t casual side projects—they’re acts of stewardship.
If we value the art, we should also value the people who protect its knowledge. Support them. Share their work. Contribute when you can.
The more we document and openly share, the stronger and more complete the Mantis system becomes—for everyone.

A sincere thank you to the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library for the care and effort put into publishing and archiving the Grandmaster’s work.
Preserving these materials is more than an academic task—it is an act of cultural stewardship. By safeguarding, cataloguing, and making this work accessible, you ensure that important knowledge is not lost to time and that future generations can study from authentic sources.
This kind of archival work provides scholars, practitioners, and researchers with a solid foundation for study, comparison, and understanding. It honors the legacy of the Grandmaster and supports the continued growth and integrity of the art.
