Re: mantis core curriculum

Hello,
Could someone tell me what the core forms in the northern mantis curriculum are? I realize that it depends on the version, so I am curious about the following two in particular: Seven-Star Northern Mantis and Taichi Praying Mantis (especially from the CiuChukKai lineage).
I believe Bung Bo (Stamping/Stomping/Bouncing Step) is a form that is taught in most of the Praying Mantis systems. I think possibly the "8 Elbows" is another. There are more, I'm sure, but these are the only ones I could think of.
I've seen some other threads on this forum answering this question in great detail. If you don't get an answer you are satisfied with, do a search of the "Northern Praying Mantis" forum. You'll find it.

Ever since I was a lad
I was an automatic
mad mantis fanatic.
I became a man
manically attached to it...
Could it be,
it attached to ME?!?!!
