@FightersOnlyMagazine That's a pretty ignorant blanket statement to make. I could just easily say that modern MMA is just guys rolling around on the ground hoping for that they get a chance to hit each other. Would that be right? You talk about how useless traditional martial arts are and how awesome MMA is; yet you're simply a hypocrite. You are so blinded by the supposed glory of MMA that you're incapable of even considering anything else. You are as brainwashed as those you vilify.

NOW NOW PEOPLE this guy is very very powerful this Prayin Mantis style is explosive.!!!

look at when it starts at 00:16. The blow that it gives will knock you out.!!

[cedricgabionza]

i see so its a style that is more on countering and seems to be very fast because its used for close ranged fighting like wing chun but notice his feet it seems he carries it slightly then puts back down basically every strike is as strong as a heavy weight boxer's punch

[SourBuddha]

i dont really know much bout Hakka, but this dude has some serious ging. good kung fu.

@TheShaolinScholar why is your name shaolin? and scholar ontop of that? if you were a scholar you would know that hakka martial arts are some of the few that can legitimately trace themselves to the shaolin temple. what do you think shaolin should look like then?

[TheShaolinScholar]

lol this is what people are going aroun saying "o this reminds me of hakka mantis WAHAHAHAHA  comon this is wack! watch you get knocked out doing this style

[strongarmconcrete]

this is real talent,all styles are evolutions from another,mma being the 2011 camaro and cma being the big block yenko camaro.they both rock,it just depends on what YOU like and the application at hand.imho,im more apt to bet my money on the 50 yr old ironworker vs the 20 yr old mma fighter,seen the outcome and it was kind of a surprise,we had to pull that big man off that kid.so merely the style by which you practice does not decide the outcome of a match,its the mindset and determination.

[strongarmconcrete]

from what ive seen close up in most mma bouts are sloppy,wild thrown punches,guys with horrendous tattoos and bad haircuts.case in point:im much older than my co-workers,they all train mma,they all wear the affliction shirts,they train night and day and live like rockstars.we all got onto this mma vs. cma topic,in their atmosphere,at their gym,none of them were very effective against one old guy :) they didnt have patience,breathing control and they out paced themselves very quickly 3-0

@FightersOnlyMagazine I must say your statements reveal that you know absolutely nothing about the southernmantis systems especially jooklum & how the internal shocking power is developed and the way strikes are delivered using it .Please don't talk about gungfu systems if you have know real knowledge of them .

@teemad : Good comparison you make there. I was going to say that it's like comparing a farmer and a botanist.

But your comparison is better. I also like to see kung fu as an art.

@Anandfulness Re: "quick results". Finally, someone said it like it is. Its a thing of this day and age. People want quick results. They don't want to spend years refining an art form because they are not artists! You cannot expect a house painter to do what a master artist does. Yet you cannot also expect an artist to paint a house. But you can very easily get the artist to learn quickly how to paint a house. The reverse... is not true.

I am not a Hakka praying mantis player, but I have worked this very form many times. He is very good. There are variations depending on the person's size and training. I like what he is doing.
