    Yeah, but it can be said that wing chun kicks and southern mantis kicks look very similiar. Perhaps there is some relation, perhaps its just coincidence.

    Many Southern systems share some characteristics- low kicks more often than not.

    Kicks come from the dynamics of structures and mantis and wing chun structures have differences. There are differences within
    the mantis umbrella- differences between Hakka and Temple (HK)
    versions.

    Kicks can look similar without necessarily being the same.

    Yup, you are most correct. Since my sifu will be moving soon we have had many people from other schools come join us every class. I have got to touch hands with a lot of different southern styles of kung fu this last month and they all have a lot of similarities.

    There is lots of things in the world wihout "a" answer even Kill BILL has 2 parts to tell the story. So, it has nothing to do with deserve.

    Getting a straight answer from hendrick is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone...

    Ah bak mei from fist of the white lotus, except in the original if I recall it was a 100 pace palm strike and not a 5 pace. However, now that I think back on it, he also had a 10 pace palm strike.

    Sorry for misspelling your name phenix (pheonix). It was not meant in any disrespect, only in ignorance of not knowing how to correctly spell your name.

    Perhaps, instead, you can show me the correct spelling of your name and then from here on I shall not mispell it.

    Yesterday we did lots of push ups. We did 150 push ups, then we did burst push ups. Its where you are in push up position but your elbows are touching the ground. Your arms are triangled below your chest. Your forearms are touching the ground. From the position you lean forward and then burst up into a regular push up. Its very hard to do, and helps develope ba fa jing (release within an inch). This is pretty much doing short range bursts of power to make a push up.
