If you had to distill Northern Mantis into just 6 sets

[sanjuro_ronin]

Hmm, then why does my wine become flamable after I distill it down to almost pure alcohol?

Distilling separates the heavier material, from the lighter. when you distill wine for instance, you are separating the lighter functional ingredients (alcohol), from the heavier filler fluids (water, left over fermentations etc...). This makes a super concentrated drink that can run a car engine.

LOL !
Dude, sorry for the brain ****, I saw Distill and though DILUTE !

I am an a-hole !

[Steeeve]

Boffff thats questions have a good timing


Since Mantis have a lot of repetition forms.....Probably 3 forms could do the job
of distilled ........I agree no body have the time to train 100 forms and nobody have the time to remember all this forms.........

Northern praying mantis was the name used by GM Han Hon Fan ......Does the lineage are 7 stars or a blending of 7 stars ....the mui fa ....He neve rused the name 7 stars?????????and any books all is northern mantis

[Qixing Tanglang]

In the Qixing Tanglang family of Mantis, Beng Bu Quan, Shi Ba Shou, and Duo Gang are commonly cited.

The way Yu Hai's compilation is played today, it has nothing to do with Mantis fundamentals.

The forms Lan Jie and Ba Zhou are from Meihua Tanglang.

Edit: Dont know what other people think, but Beng Bu for me is definitely the most demanding form in terms of footwork, diversity of technique, and the amount of energy required to get through it.

Definitely my favorite mantis form. You could get a good idea of the whole system through this form alone.

...what about weapons forms?

Does because LGK have created a lot of forms in the 7 stars....What do you mean WHF dont have the right to used the name 7 stars....He came from LGK...

Maybe we could call that the Hong kong 7 stars mantis???

[Mantis_Reborn]

Its no secret that WHF didn't receive the entire system, thus was not given the flag to teach under the 7 Star Flag and by no means is my statement to be taken as disrespect, WHF was a great Sifu.

[MantisCool]

WHF only used the term "Northern Mantis" because he always said our 7-star mantis incorporated Meihua and GuangBan. Therefore, I think that is why he prefered to used this term.

This has nothing to do with whether he has inherited the whole system or not. I would say he is the most qualified 7-star mantis sifu in HK during his period. If he is not qualified, he would not have been sent by LGY to teach in other Chin Woos in the late 30's.

Without him or CCM, the mantis kungfu would not have spread to US in the late 60's.

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

Seems like just about everyone lists Bung Bo, Ba Zhao and Lian Jie.

Can anyone post clips of Lian jie and Ba Zhao done well?
What is this set, how old is it. anyone care ton decscribe it?

[Royal Dragon]

Also, does anyone know of good clips of Guarding the Door Broadsword in Eight Directions?

[gunglihchuan]

This is the best Video that I have seen on the Internet of Bagua Lan Mun Dao: Guarding the Door Broadsword in Eight Directions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoEX4...eature=related

I believe the title that the Sifu gave was just Tai Chi Mantis.

The videos that this sifu has are very good. He covers most major hand forms. He even performs Quai Jer Yao: Quickly Picking the Essentials.
