Three Harmonies, I meant no disrespect at all. I was just correcting the points I didn't clarify. You are exactly right on most of what you said I just didn't say what I meant and it mislead you....

I will never understand the people on these forums that are here to criticize other people or their styles. First things first, I am far away from being ashamed of my teacher. I don't mention his...

I am actually very close to you. I am in eastern TN. My teacher is an excellent teacher. He learned SPM with Hagood from Louie Man Jack himself. He amazes me more and more every time I see him, but...

By using internal strength instead of outer it makes someone have more stamina, you can absorb more strikes, and your attacks have all the more power. The way we would fight more than one is to aim...

Now what you're doing is changing my words around. Did I say one time that my style was too bad for MMA? No, I am not training my style for MMA. It's as simple as that. Not because I'm afraid or that...

Ten Tigers I agree completely with you about the grappling these days, but I have taken more jiu jitzu than I have SPM so if I was taken to the ground I could go for that too.

I don't know how most people train it, but we train our slicing and everything with an open hand. In training and sparring you can, but if I really were fighting someone I would do the exact same...

I think Ten Tigers and Gabe are on the same point I am. I think the disagreement is pointless because they are different sports completely. It takes more than basics to deal with an mma, boxer,...

I'm just saying that chi does make you more durable in ways and attacks have more force. I've watched my teacher using the mantis system and none of the guys have a chance because by the time the...

That really was a good answer. I always loved MMA as someone who didn't have any MA training and now that I'm training SPM, I think MMA is pointless. I am not training it so I can win trophies or...

I want to know why so many martial artists of hard styles don't understand why Southern Mantis can't be used in it's traditional way. It is understood to me why this is. I'm asking why they can't...

I am currently practicing a traditional style of mantis and I must say, that is not how martial arts actually are. You are right, in the end fighting is fighting. It doesn't matter whether you are a...

I was not saying it can't be used in MMA period. Any style in the world can be slightly changed to be used in MMA. I'm simply saying the traditional/exact mantis teaching is what I'm learning. You...

The truth is that SPM is very swift. If the mantis fighter knows anything he will not be taken to the ground. He would attack while moving and probably take out a limb somewhere. Whoever ego's...

As someone training in Southern Mantis by someone who knows Roger personally, I know Mantis is not for MMA. Mantis is a vicious way of ending the fight quickly using inner strength. It is not for MMA...

I have been training mantis under an expert teacher. If there is one thing I've learned from him, it is that mantis is not a tournament style fighting system. It is used to hurt you're opponent quick...
