Looked alright.

The one critic that I would offer is that the person's stance is static. In a fight you can't just stand there like that and do your thing. The other guy is also doing his thing, his momentum and weight will affect you. And if it doesn't, the weight and momentum you'll have to put into a technique to work on someone really resisting will also affect you. Either way, you just can't stand there.

Intention looked good though.

thats exactly what i said on the comments for the video im listed on youtube as kungfufreddy (see what i did there - clever that i added kung fu and my name TOGETHER haha )

[Wood Dragon]

Anyone know what variety of Mantis was featured in the original video?

Looks like it was in the ROK, or a Korean community at least.

Tai Chi Mantis (I think?).

2 performances of Beng Bu (1st Mantis Form, AIUI).

[TaichiMantis]

The Galen Fok video is Tai Chi Praying Mantis, Chui Chuk Kai lineage

[Oso]

definitely way above average example of kung fu training.

WD, I don't know exactly what style was represented in the clip but historically it was Plum Flower, Tai Chi and maybe Longfist Mantis.

Masterkiller has been researching it.
