First out of 5.

It is with great pain and speechlessness that I have to tell all you people that Mike Martello Sifu passed away this morning.

A great teacher, martial artist and a close friend left to soon.

Hi Folks,

there is new stuff about Mike Martello and his Mantis Stuff out there.
Check it out here:

Interview with Mike

Pai An 1

Pai An 2

It´s called:

Stance: Niu Ma Bu (Twisting stance)
Technique: Tie Kao (Hang and Lean)

Application: you deflect the opponents attack, catch his arm, elongate his arm and apply an ellbow lock (or...

Paul: and you believe they are all traditional? :o

Hi Folks:
Like Axel from Guns ´n´Roses said: use your illusion! ;)
There is a double Leg takedown to find in a partnerset called Tou Hua san Dui Da and for sure some in Handsets also. Single leg...

I don´t want to speculate but the facts are:

- 2 Ba zhou forms instead of one in any other lineage
- the "Ba" character means normally 8. In the CCM/LKW lineage ist means to rule.
- in the two...

:D Good joke. They both created forms, let me ensure you. ;)

Just look at the two Ba Zhou Forms!

Stances: http://www2.bailung.de/galerien/Stellungen/index.html
It´s in Mandarin though. You can also find the most of the Handtechniques and Kicks in our galaries!

Thanks Kevin,

thats a very good description! And from someone like you, it´s worth a lot.

Here is my story, sorry for the sloppy english: http://wutangkungfu.blogspot.com/

And even if Mike is working on "only" one stance: for the most it is so much information and stuff to work on, that their Kung Fu would only become better than.
Many teachers should be doing more...

No.
Like GungLihChuan said: in other Mantis Families it is taught as one of the core forms.
This set is been taught for the first time in the LKW Lineage last year. Quite surprising ...

Hi Craig,

(Message on YouTube failed, so here is my response instead):

the Jie Quan or Jit/Jeet Kuen is the Ching Wu set. It is not translated as intercepting but more than "chainlink" Fist.

Jake, thats too bad!

But hey, if anyone MUST meet Zhang Laoshi: he will be here in Osnabrueck, Germany in November for two weekend Seminars and also his Kung Fu Brother Yu Shaoyi, a well known a...

One of the best performances I ever saw on YouTube!

Jake: whenever you want to come over: let me know! You are most welcome here!

GREAT NEWS!

Now this is a special features you sure would not like to miss americans!! I trained with both now, and all I could say: its worth a lot of effort and money to meet just one guy, but...

Just use Gou Lou Cai as offensive technique: get in close, get in contact, shove it aside and punch.

Also you can just deflect an incoming punch (move out of centerline with shifting your weight)...

Wow, really a fine Art-Work! Hope they will do more like this ... Great!
