He's good, but not that good. 0:12 Ban Ma Bu is done with the back straight. As Shaolinforever said, his hips are not yet open. 0:14 that's supposed to be a pushing side kick, right? He needs more mobility, more flexibility. He's good, no doubt, but... he should know the basics better than this.
He knows the moves but lacks actual technique. Even the body movements are known to have an intoxicating effect on prey. I suggest capturing a "real" praying mantis, Feed and study it. In addition. Work on your balance and core flexibility. Your linbs may be doing all the work but your torso is log like. That may be why it looks a little akward. Keep up the good work.
His understanding is good and he has some power. He is fast for his level. He needs to build leg strength and his hips aren't open yet. Pivotal teaching error. Northern styles should spend three years on legs. He has a good teacher, but one that wants recognition more than magnifying his student's potential. He has tremendous potential.
IT is very strange to see the variations in northern mantis and this one is definitely more of the more exaggerated expressions of mantis...and he does seem a little stiff though.
I guess there arent too many comments, another is that mantis should move from side to side as opposed to a straight line.
NinjaZMAN, what the fuck is a female mantis form. Listen here kiddy you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. There is no such thing. Northern mantis and southern mantis are not realted in anyway. Southern mantis is Hakka Boxing it is in no way related to northern mantis.
I do not understand, Lugiase. Other than the slow front kicks, what is lacking in the personality? Insects do not have much personality, only instinct and movement. What is lacking in the movement, intention, or personality of this mantis form? I am sincerely curious. Please respond. Thank you.
What I mean is he doesn't moove like a Mantis, for example : If someone was doing the Monkey style and they are doing the moves but really don't look like the monkey style, they still need to work on it. Just like I am saying about the Mantis style. And I've seen how the Mantis Styles should look.
Yo sup i also do northern mantis in my shaolin 5 style kung fu. The main types pepole chose to do is northern mantis the male mantis form and southern mantis which is the female mantis form. Whoever just done that form done it perfectly you truly know northern mantis. Have a nice day from NinjaZMAN.
shi xing hong is one of the few monks who acutally demonstates traditional wu shu instead of the modern variant...however this person leaves his hooks too low in the mantis cathes the cicada posture and leaves his face open.btw i don't practice this family of mantis so take it with a grain of salt.
Need to open your chest more. But still pretty good!

He doesn't take on the personality of the Mantis. Until he takes it on. He really doesn't know the Mantis.
