In all seriousness, is this a form in praying mantis or is it an art in itself. I'm asking because theres a video of this same guy doing praying mantis.

Brendan Lai was a grand master of the Northern 7 star praying mantis system. This is the 7 star version of the empty hand set "White ape steals the peach" which is a form found in the praying mantis systems.

that's real fucking kung fu !!! omg

It's like each form is like a book. For example,

the story of Tarzan. Each publisher will have editors who will edit or re-interpret the old story of Tarzan to make young people understand the story of Tarzan.

Each Sifu will teach the form according to their idea of what the student should learn. Each school has it's own recipe of kung fu.

The Grand Master is the keeper of the knowledge. It's the difference between a Sifu and a Grand Master.

It sounds weird but I always like watching exhibition and demonstrations because it's amazing how much work is put into their style. That and it's so graceful it reminds me of a well thought out choreography. Odd way to think about it

Before you start this form you're supposed to say "give me back my peach you damn dirty APE!"

yeah this is awesome. i need to learn more about this guy. this is a very valuable form to see executed so well. perfect balance of power, speed, intention and grace. so is this an essential form of the seven star system or is it part of the plum blossom style? i study eight step myself its always great getting concrete facts about the forms and the organization of the forms and their meanings.

@qilin4 wow i've never heard that but it makes sense thanks

[ChineseOpera8]

this video was filmed in a kung-fu studio in Florida operated by GrandMaster Chan Poi. I had the honor of taking a seminar with the late GrandMaster Lai in 7-star Mantis at a tournament of Master Tony Yang's, when it was being held in Canton,Ohio. Lai Si-Fu tong-long kuen hai tai ho aah'!

[TheJackel0pe]

@qilin4 That is correct. It is a strike to the walnuts.

[WingChunGeologist]

What this video shot in Sifu Lai's school?

If so has the school closed down or is it being operated by one of his students?

Most teachers usually have their own way of performing a form that goes slightly outside of the traditional movements. He does several movements differently here and adds several hand motions.
