As always, I will allow discussions of anything mantis,...
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing!
Very awsome! Is there a definitive diagram of these referenced patterns?
Fantastic piece of information. I believe that the more one trains & observes, the more one can see commonalities between systems; or at least better compare & contrast them.
Best wishes to all,...
I'll just say "Ditto" to that last one.
Sounds like they missed making the bridge then..lol.
I do have to disagree with you though. While chi sao is not meant to be sparring, it does teach sensitivity & reaction skills that one can use...

In the intrest of not hijacking this thread, If you have anything to "debunk", please just do it & stop hijacking threads by constantly bringing this up.

I love that form....just makes you wanna go out & chop something! :D
Not familiar with the structure of the poses. A few of them look like they were designed for the katana, but I could not say for sure, as photographs often decieve.
I'll keep an eye out. Any clue as...
Thats about as concise as you can get. That is my mantis theory in a nut-shell.
If you have the intent to take an oponent out,....there is no reason to wait.
Thanks for the original posters intent to share 8-step information.
I look forward to seeing more attempts at a unified mantis community regardless of family.
Oh,...and Jake,...who are you...
Guilt complex or something?? Wasn't pointing fingers just at you.
Shirkers,...LOL! Thanks for meeting quota!:D
Please cut out the personal attacks....everyone.
Plenty of mantis topics to hit on....it's a big system! :P
Thanks,

Would have been better to have been a personal email, but since this is a common question, I'll answer it here! :)
If you have problems, Write the Admin. I'm just a moderator that.
In all...
Guys, cut the personal attacks. The discussion is a good one, but you need to stay on topic. Both sides have good points. Just agree to disagree and move on.
No reason to bring mention to those...
Samuel,
