@@MonkeyStealsPeach I did a little a while back in 2010 in Vietnam. The teacher named it Tanglang Quan but I believe it had been mixed with our local styles already. I was fascinated at 06:14 to know from whom the art was spreaded to Vietnam :) My teacher however was so keen on conditioning the body, doing partner drills and breaking down the forms into applications rather than practicing the forms, pretty much what you train with your Sifu and brother in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-by9vbfy4sXM.html. So sorry I don't know the names of any forms which belong to Mantis. Some keywords like Luohan DoanDa, 8 joint principle cross my mind and sorry now I can barely remember :D

I love your observation about the evolution of styles being as important as the tradition. It's amazing how different styles get shaped by the people who practiced them.

My teacher was a student of Won Honfan, of 7 star mantis, only learned 十八叟。 Also had some experience with Taiwanese 6 harmonies mantis, learned 铁齿 and 善手奔.

A few comments; (1) Jing Wu significantly pre-dates Central Guoshu Academy, (2) influence of Japanese martial arts upon Central Guoshu is not speculative, well documented by contemporaneous sources and (3) Central Guoshu did not downplay fighting aspect, they in fact tried to make fighting more modern, practical and central to the practices

I practice Liuhe Tanglang Quan. Ding Zicheng -> Zhang Xiangsan lineage. About my favorite forms, I'd say it's Duan Chui (not really Liuhe Tanglang) and Tie Ci.

@kouryuken 2 года назад

My teacher is a direct lineage of Liu He tanglang quan(六合螳螂拳）丁子成-張詳三+劉雲樵-徐紀。But I learned Baji not tanglang. Thanks for the great documentary. Hope you do one on soft mantis.

@MonkeyStealsPeach 2 месяца назад

Wah Lum was pretty much formulated in America based on a mix of styles. Mantis is only one small component.

@adammills9715 2 года назад

Hey I really enjoyed this series on mantis boxing! This may be a naive question, I discovered your channel through Jesse Enkamp and I'm not overly knowledgeable regarding chinese ma. In karate the original applications to kata created prior to the mid 20th century have all been lost to history with only a few (debatably no) exceptions. Is the same true for mantis and other forms of chinese martial arts or have the practical applications and partner drills survived along with their corresponding forms?

@ambulocetusnatans 2 года назад

That does happen sometimes in CMA, but it depends. I'm not a Mantis guy, but I would say that it is less likely to happen to a style like Mantis than it would for a style like Tai Chi.

@adammills9715 2 года назад

@@ambulocetusnatans thanks! Do you say that because mantis puts more of a focus on the combative side of the art than tai chi?

@davidreynolds2126 2 года назад

Awesome documentary. I’m curious, which style of mantis consist mostly of striking or having a higher percentage of punching appose to grappling? I’m assuming it’s 7 star mantis.

@MonkeyStealsPeach 2 года назад

I’d say its a mostly even mix all round tbh. Probably depends more on the individual teacher’s focus
