    Pardon my lack of knowledge...

    I was surfing the net earlier and came across this:

    http://www.carbonecho.com/Kungfu/Videos.dtml

    Now, I have never seen Southern Praying Mantis done before, so my question is this: Is that really Southern Praying Mantis? It resembles no style of Mantis I have ever seen. Just curious.

    I know the vid you mean.
    I pretty sure its not a traditional form but i could be wrong.
    Looks quite nice to me, you can see expression of ging and there is good speed and flow.
    It DOES look VERY odd though i know...
    Also it pays to rememeber that the different variations of spm are quite different and look quite different especialy to those who are not knowledgeable of southern mantis.
    I dont study the system so i cant tell whether the guy is a good representive of the system or not.
    Im not even sure exactly what linage of SPM Norman Chin is from.
    Up and down, forward and backward, left and right, its all the same. All of this is done with the mind, not externaly.

    Philbert,

    Bummer!

    Ahhh yes I see. Hmmm, either the site was deleted for one reason or another, or the server is down. Sucks too, had alot of good stuff on it. I could post it from another site, but I dont know of good sites to post about 7 megs of video.
