Thanks for the info Gene.
I'm a Qixing TangLang player, so when I saw the Shaolin U.K guys doing a form called Qixing TangLang, I thought 'is this a form from the 7 star mantis style, or is it a...
My slightly talented girlfriend used me as a model for her major project at university. Everything was sculpted in clay, then cast in sillicone for the head and fiberglass for the body.

I'm going to be heading to Shaolin U.K soon, though im kinda worried that they only teach Wu Bu Quan and Xiao Hong Quan.
Gene, when you mentioned Qixing TangLang as a form, were you referring to...
Nice sparring

So I came across this form being taught at the Shaolin Temple U.K. Apparently its 7 Star Mantis, though the flavour is very much unlike any QiXing I have seen...

Haha LOL that's so screwed up :D

This is a valid point and I do agree. However, sanshou is not reality street fighting, and in the end they're still wearing gloves...so applying techniques to sanshou isn't 'real' application of...
Well that was a predictable response... Well done Jake, great reply... :confused:

Hardwork - Thanks for all the info. I am glad there are still some decent members on this forum who aren't just trolling all the time.

I agree its dying. There are far too many OT posts. Even members who I thought were genuine posters now start sidetracking threads with BS.
ah well.
I'm living in Stepney Green atm, but will be moving to columbia road (bethnal green) in 2 weeks time.
Yes theres lots of WingChun. I'd ideally like a style to compliment my mantis, something that...
Don't sweat it mate. Classes are intimidating at first as you expect everyone so be this super hard fighter...in reality there will be a lot of new people too. Most Classes should generally be run...
awesome. I'd for one be much more scared of the half-cut looking dude.
Generally, screaming for me says unconfident (ironically).... the dude who just STFU and holds himself calm...hes got some...
Hardwork - I trained Qixing (HK LKW lineage) for around 4 or 5 years. I played with a bit of wing chun in that time too.
