Arc, two way action👍

Good tip about legs

Love your channel! Bought foundations and iron fist pdf. Will you expand past foundation stances to hands and forms?

Beautiful! Drawing circles is just so characteristic of Chinese polearm arts.

SALUTE

You know, sometimes I wonder if Praying Mantis kung fu has been part of the cultural and martial exchange between China and Okinawa, that shaped the "Te" combat systems of Okinawa which then became the different branches of Karate. On the one hand, it's clear from styles like Uechi Ryu that the main influence was white crane kung fu, but the more stuff I watch about Praying Mantis, the more I realize, there are a few things we have in karate as well. For example, during your fight in Street Beefs, you threw a few ridge hand attacks (loved that btw), which are very reminiscent, in how it's performed, to a technique called Haito Uchi in karate. And while I sadly can't remember in which kata we do that, a video from Kevin Lee, focusing on southern praying mantis, showed a principle in which the practitioner pulled in the attack from the opponent, like sinking in while pulling the opponent in. I KNOW there's a kata, I think in goju ryu specifically, that has a similar concept. Speaking of hikite, the thing is, kata were always designed to be not about a consensual fight, but about self defense, so "non-consensual violence". So you have to take those movements in a kata as being extremely close quarters and, most important, the person performing it is not aware a fight is going to happen. Most, if not all of these moves, are at clinch/grappling range, and in that configuration, yes, the hikite ALWAYS pulls something. Not necessarily the hand. It could be the neck, the back of the head, the collar... The idea is to illustrate the idea of grabbing something, pulling it in and striking with the other hand. It also has this idea of controlling the limb, especially if the enemy has a weapon. Loved the video by the way :)

I heard there was a lot of eye gouging techniques in mantis. I’m curious to see a real fight without gloves where punches run the risk of breaking your hands and other hand strikes are involved.

WoW! Virtual AI Mantis kung fu. Empty hands - dead hands.

Hell yeah! Stepping into the ring and truly testing yourself and the method. My respect to you brutha!!!

Viva o LAI zongShi Dat Chung!

Very good stuff

I really admire your love and knowledge for this style.

As a Kung Fu practitioner I was raised fighting different styles. It’s awesome to see more Kung Fu practitioners testing their skills. Very awesome to see brother. Keep it up!!

Amazing!

Pretty cool. 👍🏻👍🏻

I dont see any mma. Mantis vs no ma

Goes to show any style is effective if you train and spar

This is insanely cool. As a Jiu Jitsu practitioner, I’m thoroughly impressed. I only wish there was an academy near me!

Wow! Nice work!

Kung fu works great, especially with no rules. As someone who's mma based, as it's helped me defend myself successfully in the streets a lot, i get shown kung fu from older generations, and i am always amazed and implement what i can, specifically snake to the eye balls, that works wonders.

This man really knows his MANTIS!👍

With the Dao! You see these techniques that you demonstrated in southern styles 😳Thanks, Sifu 😬

Thank you, very much 💕Sifu! Wonderful footage 🤗at UCLA, Cal. They restored a 1931 Chinese movie 🎥 I think it’s called “Red Banner” 🤔it’s about the exploits of Fang Shih Yuk 😬

I practice wing Chun daily, combining it with sum mantis.

This is real kungfu master even you are not Chinese. Many people claim use kungfu style but when real fight become no kungfu at all

Nothern & Southern Mantis executed in the correct way with knowledge & precision can serve up some lethal suprises!!!

The best explanation about this topic that i ever saw

not bad .... a little sloppy ... but well executed in a real combat situation

I love watching kung fu work effectively. Xingyi (Shen Long Tang Shou Tao) practitioner checking in. Great work, mate!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Some people just don't understand MMA. It is not one style but many, if mantis would be especially effective it would immediately get integrated.

I actually really like the mini backfist. It acts kinda like a short range jab. Not devastating but enough to set up other combos. The rest was meh... most of it was just happenstance stuff and basic boxing.

You're legit.. you're doing a great job.. as a fellow KF practitioner, i feel very proud❤

only kids compare MMA to martial arts. techniques in MMA are all originated from different martial arts.

omegalul, saving this!

Nombre de la canción NAME of the song ...mierda yo no hablar en Washington solo pasen el Name

Doing this awful style against a real fighter won't end well😂☠️

U have learned well, grasshoppa!

I did Northern Praying Mantis(Wah Lum) for 5 years. When watching it, the form look fancy with a lot of pretty techniques, but if the applications are taught correctly, it can be used very effectively for stand-up fighting. The "fancy" forms include eye jabs, neck strikes, kicks to the knee, and even groin grabs/strikes.

Finally a real person testing out other martial arts in a fight. Keep it up man, would love to see more styles being applied. The clipping with the old photos was a dope addition too!

Ele esteve em solo brasileiro e foi muito amado.

Great

Gung Fu is a way of life! So cool, great job! The Mantis fist is one to be reckoned with!

Amazing fight Shifu congratulations!

Why the real deal is so much better than MMA!

This is for Seven Star Mantis or Taiji Plum Mantis?
