Tonight after teaching class and during my shower I started wondering what other praying mantis instructors had taught or were going to teach this evening.
I thought it might be interesting to share as praying mantis instructors or students what went on in our last class.

I'll start:

1. Two Hand drills on the wooden dummy 挑 挑 衝 爪 & 摟 摟 衝 爪 (tiao tiao chong zhao & lou lou chong zhao),

2. A partner drill that worked 勾 摟 採 閉 門 腿 (gou lou cai & bi men tui)

3. A partner drill that taught the the use of 揪 腿 jiu tui (seizing leg) and a counter to the technique.

3. Two partner drills that worked two of the twelve soft methods (螳 螂 柔手 táng láng róu shǒu):

直統而抅手 - zhí tǒng ér ou shǒu - Attach the Hook to Straight Attacks
開手而叠手 - kāi shǒu ér dié shǒu - Open Hands And Join Hands

4. One inch fa jing

5. The first ten moves from the Diao Fa form

So what did you teach/do in your last class?
