    Not entirely true that statement is it?

    the Chow legacy was kept within the family with GM Ip passing the mantle to his son... as for custodian ofthe system within oz, ask your sifu about Sifu Paul Brennan

    I still don't know very much about Praying Mantis so I do apologize If you find this videos boring, but I look for some videos and sometimes Ill find a demonstration decent and you see the work even you don't know the system.Then I like to share it, also to get other opinions and maybe insights and inspirations from their comments.


    Kind regards,
    Xian

    There are a lot more SPM videos on the net than there were a short 5 years ago, that's for sure.
    You just need to realize that the forms tend to have a very personal flavour to them so enjoy them for what they are

    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    That's very true. I have yet to see anyone perform Chow Gar's 'Sarm Bo Jin' exactly the same.

    Same with me for Chow gar and for Jook lum, but there isn't anything wrong with that.
    Even karate there are dozens of versions of sanchin.

    Quite interesting. It seems similar to the chum kil forms of Wing Chun though not exactly the same moves.

    Go to 35:00 of the documentary.

    That is one slick mantis form.
    It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.

    Do you know what type of mantis that master is doing? It looks a bit different from the usual that I've been exposed to (which is not much mind you).

    Is it different than the typical flavor now in the mainland?
