It looks like HG but details are missing...Can't say it IS HG, but definitely not Southern Mantis.

Well, America, everyone has their to F**k anything up anyway they like....Just sad...:(

@2redstick don't worry I was a bit confused too hah.

[2redstick]

If this is a Southern Praying Mantis system then why was the women doing a Hung Gar form???

[iexcalibui2]

@2redstick don't ask me, I was just there recording! hah

Nice Hung Gar demo.

@Asoingles2007 funny thing is that they are a Southern Mantis school though? I dunno I was a little confused when she was performing.

@iexcalibui2 Thanks for posting...now I know how low we got...

[2redstick]

I guess these days one can do whatever they want regardless....:(

@AdiDoinStuff It's a taste of the animals, but... it would seem someone "declawed" it before letting it be shown with odd missing postures and strange flow and pauses. It was HG at one time, but now I'm not sure what to call it. Why it's a demo form for a Southern Mantis school is beyond me as I don't see any characteristics of the southern mantis anywhere in there. The "running uppercuts" section was totally alien to me.

@iexcalibui2 Ng Ying Kuen? looks very close to it.
