Grand Opening of New Luo Guang Yu Family Seven Star Mantis Kung Fu School in Shanghai

Just looking at title cover of the New Shaolin Temple movie that just came out in China with Liu De Hua (Andy Lou) and Xie Ting Feng (Nicholas Shae). Looks like Yu Hai is also in movie.

For people out there running a commercial school then maybe it makes sense to establish some “beginner” forms. By that I mean something just a little easier for the student to do. Mantis forms are...

Sal - you have a habit of leaving out your sources?

The article sourced above describes some of the variants of Shaolin Taizu in Shandong and North East China which was interesting. But it never...

Would be curious to know what other MHTL famlies play this set.

In general what other two person sets do families play.

Bstrgds,

Couple of follow up points.

In my opinion making claims about being the only authentic 7* line is ridiculous. And uploading inconclusive documents claiming to be Wang Rong Sheng’s original quan pu...

Came across a crazy thread on a Chinese Tanglang forum here.

In the Wushu2008 Tanglang forum an anonymous poster said the...

Need to be a good student and need to have a good teacher. All of the traditional branches seem to be pretty dam(n) good IMO.

This came from a post I made May 17, 2007:

"Our family LGY QXTL has two sets in the Ba Zhou series: Yi Lu Bai Yuan Kui Yan and Er Lu Bai Yuan Kui Yan."

Link:...

Xu Jinge (aka. Koh Kim Kok) and Kai Uwe Pel has the six.

Came across this clip;

Just kinda weird watching a publicized Bai Shi video. Always thought these things were more of a private matter. Thoughts?...

In the Qixing Tanglang family of Mantis, Beng Bu Quan, Shi Ba Shou, and Duo Gang are commonly cited.

The way Yu Hai's compilation is played today, it has nothing to do with Mantis fundamentals.
...

The theoretical layout is one way to separate traditional versus modern.

But for me the most obvious is in the physical training. Just watch a class or two and differences between traditional and...

Heard he had some books out on the Wah Lum system? In Spanish?

Dont take it personal Jake. You've been called on it before. It just is what it is.

Cheers,
Nate

Like I said....big baby.

Cheers,

Don't worry too much Dragonball. Jake is a big baby on this forum - 30 going on 3.

Wishing the entire Mantis board a very happy, healthy and prosperous Chinese New Year.

Gong xi fa cai, wan shi ru yi!

Your teacher?

Martial power can only realistically be demonstrated in application. You guys should know better - forms just dont cut it.

Jake you should also know better too. Act your age around here.

Nate

Nice performance.

I always get a little uneasy though considering this form was made for modern wushu taolu competition.


The whole discussion about internal versus external on this thread...

No. Forms are just one small piece of a much larger tradining puzzle.

In the context of a traditional fighting system, and in the ranking of usefullness, they would be ranked down near the bottom...

Is this the Bei Shaolin (Northern Shaolin) that came out of the Shangahi Chin Woo organization?

If not then it does not matter and just ignore this.

If it is then this is the famous Shaolin...

Have a good trip. I know there are at least one or two guys on this board who can help you from the Qingdao and Beijing side.

Cheers,
