Thread: Mantis Open Hand Shock Power?

  1. #1

    Mantis Open Hand Shock Power?

    This is a security camera video that catches a kung fu sifu who also works as a bouncer using short power on a big and aggressive trouble maker, or that is what I understood from the description and comments.

    Have a look:

    obviously not. You are simply another clueless MMA cross-training kickboxer.

    Ten, I was going to say something, but with the time between frames, its impossible to be sure. Yea, if you've seen it before, you got a pretty good idea of what is going on.

    But.....


    Gee, what's the big deal, all he did was push the guy....

    As I implied in my initial post and heading, things are not that clear on the video. So, I am not sure what really happened either, but having seen and felt Mantis short power, I have no doubt that it exists, and that you don't get it by pumping iron, nor running around with your tai chi ball (Bawang).

    Anyway, thank you for your honest and sometimes "insightful" contributions...

    You can't tell what is going on in that video, but I can assure that there is no open hand power in Mantis.

    Getting beat with a phoenix-eye fist should hurt right?
    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.

    The Chow Gar that I studied had shock power that could be delivered with or without using an open hand.

    Generally speaking that's the thinking.

    The skill is the cartridge - hollow point, full metal jacket, wax slug, that's up to you.

    He pushed the bigger guy the right way (from "down low and on up high") and since the bigger guy was standing flat footed and feet parallel, he went for a nice trip.

    hey, was that a ufo capturing big foot and taking him to another galaxy?

    lol.

    well, at least that video clears a lot of things up about... well, how crappy security cams are for one thing and it raises another question and that is: why are security cams called security cams when they consistently show NOTHING!!!

    Kung Fu is good for you.
