Uh nothing praying mantis is a great martial art but its only one martial art. I think anyone who told you it was the greatest martial art probably does Praying mantis themselves.

is this for real? It sounds like flame bait.
(. Y .)
I agree with Yee Gor that this thread is flame bait, but...
According to PM lore, PM is the result of 17 older styles of kung fu merged with the PM techniques and philosophies that Wang Lang created about 400 years ago. You could say that it's one of the oldes MMAs. It is in a way a precursor of JKD, what I mean is that PM will adapt to and adopt any technique that works. PM is based on a fighting philosophy, so any technique can be used freely within that philosophy.

Agree with MightyB, Mantis is a conglomeration of the" best of" the Best in CMA. A newer fighting art, so to speak. As for the best, to me , it`s the person.
MightyB, 7* is very powerful, it`s kind of the karate of Mantis...only effective! My teacher has shared with me 7* Mantis, but flavors it with Secret Door Mantis.
MB, do you guys ground fight? Have a good weekend.

Secret door PM is a lot like Jade ring PM, they like a lot of circles like footwork, almost like 8 step maybe.

Mantis has the techniques.....many students are not trained correctly to use them though.

My question Joe, was the teacher "taught" the techniques? Or was he or she told to "figure them out"? You can look at an exercise or form and "think" you got it, you have no idea. I believe you should be with a teacher that has the passed down knowledge from the ancients. But, isn`t this being spoon-fed?
