Ying Yang Seizing Hands - Southern Praying Mantis KungFu

[cthomas1701]

Beautiful forms work. Nice distribution of geng force from the elbow to wrist. Your bridge is solid through the finger strike. Thank you for sharing this performance.

well i gues i like my kung fu forms better but no one said real kung fu was preaty so good shit still dont see the preying mantis in this

[JookLumSon]

no no thats northern.. human trying to be bug.. this mantid being human. Post ur "real" kung fu so the southern fist community may see

@angelloakira ,You got a lot to learn.

[mrussum1]

well... i could be wrong, as the system i practised has only a little bit of praying mantis stuff, but it seems like northern praying mantis uses the actual mantis hand position to strike vital areas and hook your opponents strikes, southern praying mantis focuses more on the praying mantis's use of quick, sudden, short strikes to shock it's opponent. you might be thinking of the nothern style

@angelloakira  Watch Sifu James Camas explanation of Southernmantis technique. It with practice becomes more of an internal feeling and manifestation of the insect . But you can feel the lighting quick movements , grabing, sticking , leg movement & striking of the praying mantis bug when you become the form. Or watch it closely and you can sense it. .

That was truly brilliant. This caliber of kung fu is rare.

[dreamcastII]

what are the applications of these moves ?

[SecretSword]

@dreamcastII that is a question that would require much more space than a comment page could hold...I am just a novice in SPM and the applications are varied and effective once conditioning and training reach a capable level.

Nicely developed ging! I worked on this form a few years ago and really enjoyed it. We play it differently (Malcome Sue's way) but yeah, seeing this made me wanna fire it up again. Nice. :)
