7 Star Mantis Kung Fu: Lan Jie Quan (拦截/Intercepting Boxing) Demo

[jamesbowden55]

Do you perhaps know Sifu Fogg in richardson Texas? He is my Sigung. Sifu jones from Tyler Texas is my Sifu. I've fallen in love with kung fu. It's my one passion.

[MartialSkillDotCom]

@jamesbowden55 Not personally but he has a great reputation in the community. He is one of the most well-known and established grandmasters in the US and the world.

[jamesbowden55]

@MartialSkillDotCom Yeah that's no lie. He's the most amazing person you could meet, and not just because he's phenomenal at kung fu. Thank you for responding to my comment.

Beautiful form. Absolutely beautiful. I train in shaolin kung fu and also the 5 animal kung fu and i do drunken as well and i have never seen this form acted so swiftly. (Y) great job.

Do you know cifu chuck perry are sifu Fogg

[MartialSkillDotCom]

@jamesbowden55 Don't know him personally, but am familiar with the name of the school. Please give our best regards to your teacher.

[jamesbowden55]

@MartialSkillDotCom I will. He will appreciate it.

Oh! What a pleasant surprise! Very nice! I was expecting the usual martial arts junk on youtube. ;-) The video is even super clear!

[alextse4]

It's a little bit different with the WHF's lineage.

[Mepto]

Damn You're great. Ive been doing Seven Star for 8 years or so, though I've never been able to move so softly and pure like You. Unfortunately I had to quit it for school and stuff. Watching this video makes me think I did the wrong thing.

Best Regards,

Peter

[Myking55]

Did you learn this from the Lan Jie Quan DVD? 

[MartialSkillDotCom]

@Myking55 This demo is from the Lan Jie Quan DVD, which we produce.

[Myking55]

@MartialSkillDotCom Ahh ok, So if ever I was interested in learning Mantis, i could learn pretty much what you just did in that form from this DVD? Sounds tempting :P

[Dillagent]

@MartialSkillDotCom I have a question in the 7 Star Mantis system just how many forms are in 7 Star Mantis

[MartialSkillDotCom]

@Dillagent Depends on the style, branch, school, and even teacher. There is no set answer.. I have seen as many as 130 forms and as few as 4 taught. I'd say the average is probably around 15-20 in most 7 Star Schools, not counting any non-mantis forms that may be taught in the curriculum.

[Dillagent]

@MartialSkillDotCom I see I just started learning the Crushing Step form In 7 Star Mantis

[MarmarAkaSeiryu]

Wow this was fantastic i see all the intentions in your movements. that color though are you jau gau by any chance?

[MartialSkillDotCom]

@MarmarAkaSeiryu Thanks for the feedback. Nope, not jau gau.

[xSpiz91]

I like this style. I like the speed involved with the hand movements. The jab video is very fast. Though, what exactly is it you're wearing(what it's called)? I've seen it in some games. Looks like a suit kinda.

[MartialSkillDotCom]

@xSpiz91 Thanks for your comments. Northern Praying Mantis is known for its emphasis on speed of the hands. The uniform worn is a typical/traditional northern kung fu uniform -- typically worn for demonstrations, performances, tournaments, etc. Southern stylists will often wear ones that are sleeveless.

[jamesbowden55]

@MartialSkillDotCom I study 7 star mantis under Sifu Jones at Tyler Kung Fu and Fitness... Do perhaps know Sifu Jones? Great demo btw.

[Hellfuza]

[mooyingmantis]

Shawn,

Excellent performance! That is how my instructor teaches it.

Good to see others making this material available.

Richard

[MartialSkillDotCom]

Thanks Richard, much appreciated!

[JochenWolf]

Good Job. Very Nice flow.

[MartialSkillDotCom]

Thank you Jochen, I appreciate your feedback as I have a great deal of respect for you and your school. Also, my very sincere condolences on the loss of your teacher. Mike Martello was an amazing martial artist and someone I had the utmost respect for. A true loss for the mantis community.

[JochenWolf]

The Respect is mutual. Thanks for the Condolences, very much appreciated.

[TelosBudo]

[UatuEd]

[kong33]

[MyCrownOfWorms]
