8 steps praying mantis boxing book translation

[Hiro]

Hi Ren!
You always gave me a big help!
Thank you very much!
I learned Long Fist Praying Mantis Boxing, before...

[Tainan Mantis]

Hello Mantis guyz
以左腿站定有腳蹬去，彼必用穿弓腿，
and land with left leg, he is sure to use 穿弓腿,
What is 有腳蹬去?

Here step out with the left foot (蹬扑) is referring to :17 and again at :37. "Pass through the Kick" like you have written here is a move from di tang quan - ground boxing.

There is a famous picture of Su Yuzhang doing it, but this artistic one is pretty cool.

穿弓腿

Awesome! Its like a move from Street fighter! Thats pretty much what I thought. I have used an equivalent move many times, I always use it if I have a failed sweep. However I have never succeeded in pushing myself off the floor like that! Usually I stay lying down. I'm gonna try that, but are you supposed to push off the floor like that (wow that would be tough) or sort of fall back into it? I.e is it strength or momentary balance?

That stamping kick is the standard then, in your opinion is the text saying to stamp on his leg after the sweep, or do you think it is stamp kick towards his head, possibly as he gets up from the sweep? My initial thought was kick at him because it says ErQi but then I realised it could kind of be read in both ways, and I have seen the stamp on the leg move explained more. However in my practical experience of this move the sweep is too fast to land back down on so perhaps kicking his head or body is better.

Don't thank me yet, I may have it all wrong!

I need to see the complete text to get a better idea. It is being shipped to me by ocean liner at the moment.
I suspect that the Chinese he typed in may have a mistake, I will look up what is written when I see the book again.

Mike Martello was very good at that kick. When he did it, it looked effortless. He didn't use a lot of strength for standing on one hand and kicking a foot in the air.

"Pass through the Kick"

Pass through the bow kick is what I meant to write.

Hello Mantis Guys!

Hi, I never meet Master Mike, but he gave me a message when I asked him about taiwan learing.
He was very kind guy!
