I have an english translation which I bought in Taiwan in the 80's. It was printed in 1978.

The translation was done by Henry H Hart of San Francisco in 1936.

I have never read the book! Just...

WHF only used the term "Northern Mantis" because he always said our 7-star mantis incorporated Meihua and GuangBan. Therefore, I think that is why he prefered to used this term.

This has nothing...

Hi! Wushu boxer

No, I am not with them. They are from the Penang Mantis Club and I am from Penang Chin Woo but we are from the same family.

Hi! Voung

Thanks for your interest in Mantis. There are many schools in Australia doing mantis. Just take the time to browse throught the web. One of them is Sifu Brendan Tunks. He has a few...

Hi! Mantids
Nowadays, too many distractions for the youngsters to take up kungfu or stays long. Some are because of working constraint, they have to travel or got transferred since working is now...

Thanks everybody!

From what I heard, drunken sets were introduced by Wang Rong Sheng (Sifu of Fan Yew Thong), i.e. LGY's sigung.

Before Wang Rong Sheng learnt Mantis from Lee San Jian, he already had 2 sifus. One...

Hi! Robert

Very impressive! Thanks to your siheng for putting these kind of rare clips for public view.

By the way, do you practise this Pai Da Gong or not? I dont practise but would like to...

I think these drunken sets are not introduced from other schools because I have not seen any set from other schools same as this yet.

I have seen a drunken set from fellow Jing Wuer but...

Hi! Redfish

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didnt mean anything. Just to make known what I have read.

Actually, it is in Hongkong that some sets were demonstrated and not in Shanghai (wonder...

If we read the book, 100 years discourse... by Wong Hun Chiu it is clearly stated that LGY's students performed drunken sets a few times during the time LGY was in Shanghai.

There were details of ...

Yeah, I agreed that the form should be called 18 hands as in the original name and not 18 elders as thought by WHF. In full, it is something like 18 handforms or techniques (18 Shou Fa) named after ...

OK, Mr. Mantis108, I read you! I will always be around to share when necessary.

Here is my clip on our version of Pai An.

I agreed too! Very informative to see the Pai An from other schools. In our school, our emphasis is on speed therefore less sticking is seen. If we were to stand closer than the sticking and...

I believe the 3-flower sets doesnt has an order. It doesnt has a numeric on it so any set can be learned first.

But we ofcourse do the easier first that is Mei Hua Sou followed by Mei Hua Quan and...

To my knowledge, Yan Ching is one of the 108 heroes in the Liang Shan (mountain). Many forms be it hand or weapons are named after him.

Although, the name is the same but they are difference forms...

Hi! Shirker1

I looked through your Beng Bu and found nothing missing if it is from the WHF's lineage. Although, it has different flavour, it is typical from person to person.

Hi! Waylander

There are 3 Northern Mantis books written by Lam Wing Kit. 2 thin and 1 thick.

The thin book with green colour has the form
1) Big Waterwheel (Da Fan Che)
2) Small Waterwheel...

Sorry to hear that! When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

May God bless all of you.

Best wishes

Our condolences to Master Chiu Leun's family and his lineage.

Hi! Robert

IMHO, the only person who can take action against someone from misleading publication is the person depicted in the book itself. That is CCK, your sifu. The rest can only critcise and...

Hi! Robert

I understand your point too on responsibility.

LWk's books are only in picture forms and does not offer any explanation on how to move from one step to the other. But then books are...

We understand that Lam Wing Kit does not learn from a proper sifu in both 7* mantis or other branches of mantis but that does not keep him from publishing books on that subjects.

I dont think he...

In my opinion. whether Sifu Cottrell is a disciple or just student of Brendan Lai is for Brendan to decide only not anyone else. Has anyone heard Brendan saying that Sifu Cottrell is only a student...
