It certainly has elements of Tai Mantis. I like to see those techniques put to improve to make a new style. Thinking outside the forms is how evolution occurs. Thanks Sifu Harvey... this video will go to my library to help me as I develop my own forms...keep at it. :)

this looks like something between secret gate and plum blossom mantis.

doesn't look traditional, I've never seen it before.

@chupachups12 why do you all see faults? I like the other side and your feedback but really,, its like you just watched bruce lee and said hey he wiped his brow of sweat that looked weak and his guard was open.

@Aparkour Look up ninjutsu, I believe and open guard is to bait? I could be wrong I am only an amateur. If all you tube viewers looked at new knowldge with an open mind first with no opinion. Then they viewed it to learn and still quiet there ego.. then maybe go out and train a form or with a master then I wish you would come on here and place an opinion and I do hope to see your opinions in 3 years if you are not dead from not training like your life is on the line,

@DaTaBASE017 the test would probably a feint and then attack a vital organ.. i don't know if sport fighters train iron crotch or are trained in responding to fast eye gouges and throws/breaks. Then again the test would be in response to his agression in self defense only.

@foldedcrane who would fight a pro boxer? I would,, and I think most kung fu practioners would fight a pro boxer if in jail or their lives are threatened.

Sisook, my apologies. Sifu Harvey yesterday told me to remove all Tai Mantis references in the Golden Harmony forms, which I just did.

Where did this form come from?

I just checked it with my Sifu. It is not a traditional Tai mantis form, my bad. Sifu Harvey actually created this form as part of our Golden Harmony curriculum. It is based on Tai Mantis, nonetheless. Thanks for asking, now I know as well.

Good points. The Evasive Fist is indeed a long form and if you can do the entire form with stamina you will surely be exhausted so it does have a conditioning nature (I actually haven't learned this form yet myself). I should state that Rich who's doing the form is one of our more senior students and thus had to do a few forms more during the demo which caused him to be tired before even starting on this one.
