Icetuete Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 this one goes to the kungfu practicioners out there. any opinions on these two arts? differences, similarities etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I don't know that much about Mantis Kung Fu, but from what I have seen they are not very similar. Mantis Kung Fu seems to have more weapons training than San Soo. San Soo looks a little more straight forward with it's hand to hand stuff and not as complication as Mantis. I think that the San Soo learning curve is much shorter than Manits, but I will not comment on the effectiveness of either since I believe that depends on the individual. Here's some clips. Just click on the picture to see video clips. http://www.sansookungfu.com/Videos.html Can someone find some Mantis clips, I've only been able to find a few and I don't think they were that great.

MunkyBoy Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 is there kata in one of these? and does one of these imply training with ancient chinese weapons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 To my knowledge there were no katas in Kung Fu Sansoo, I'm not sure about Mantis. Hey Mantis people help us out here.

Treebranch Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Check out the clips on San Soo I have linked. San Soo isn't very fancy.

Icetuete Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 "cool" was not meant as fancy looking. i regard a well performed legsweep as cool and i wanted to know whether sweeps are part of San Soo training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Now are you talking sweeps like sweeping low with the back of the leg while kind of spin kicking low?
