Hmm...I don't know...the only times I've seen Mantis style was at wushu competitions. I guess you would have to work on stances and stuff to actually learn the form. I usually don't see beginners doing mantis form. It's usually the intermediate to advanced wushu students. I'm not sure if a background in modern wushu or at least a understanding of the basic wushu movements would be needed? As for sparring I've never seen anyone spar with Mantis before. Maybe in a choreographed sparring set but never free sparring....I don't know if there is even such a thing as Mantis free sparring?? Or if it's even possible without totally destroying the style you're using. I'll see if I can find a video clip of someone doing a mantis form for you... Hope someone has more information, or correct me if I am wrong.... [ This Message was edited by: owthathurts on 2002-07-26 14:22 ]

Hey Koreantiger! I'm not sure exactly what I will be wearing....I'm thinking about wearing a yellow uniform. I'm competing in female changquan novice in Ring One Friday night. Name of the school I go to is Chinese Wushu and Tai Chi Academy. I'm about 5'2" medium length black hair, tan skin and I'm Korean too. Although I think there will be a lot of people that look like that at the competition.... Hope I see u there!

it depends on the school...we don't have belts at my school.
