Descending Eagle Palm - 7 Star Praying Mantis Boxing

Demonstration of the yee Lo Lok Ying Jeung. In our family of praying mantis, there are 3 forms of the descending eagle palm. Yat Lo, Yee Lo, and Saam Lo. One point of this form is that there are no punches. And few fists (bong choy and pow choy). This also shows the advanced nature of a form like this. The more open hand techniques that are used the higher level the practitioner has to be. This is because in a fight, open hands lead to jammed / broken fingers and also chinna movements against fingers.

In the salutation, at the end ...is the double eagle claw hand formation unique to the descending eagle series? Ive never seen it before. Is that from Chin Woo influence or was it already there?

[Bedstysifu]

The mantis teacher Chiu Chi Man was an eagle claw stylist before learning mantis, so there is a bit more eagle claw in our forms.
