SaiFightsMS Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 WOW there is a truely massive amount of information in this thread. This will require many revisist to even attempt to digest a part of.
Aikidoka Posted November 21, 2001 Posted November 21, 2001 The info I posted earlier only covers Northern Mantis. So to be fair I have to cover Southern Mantis as well! Taken, as always, from http://www.shaolin.com "Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu HISTORY OF SOUTHERN PRAYING MANTIS If Northern Praying Mantis is the epitome of popularized, widely dispersed kung fu, then the true southern counterpart must be the most secretive. It was developed as a style by the Hakka Chinese, considered to be outsiders by the other indigenous peoples of Kwangsi province, and the need for personal defense was indeed great. Little is known surrounding the origins, but the style evidences elements of Lamaistic training, and close adherence to Yin/Yang philosophy. Practitioners are skilled in Dim Mak (death-touch techniques, using non-apparent attack modes) and healing arts. Two schools developed, these being the Chu and Chow, and both share so much in common as to use the same name for the method, "Bamboo Forest". The secrecy surrounding Bamboo Forest Praying Mantis is replete with myths and legends, largely initiated and propagated by the practitioners themselves. Becoming a student is extremely demanding and involves nothing less than being adopted by the master and pledging one's life to him. Even family ties are second to attitude and mental readiness in choosing the disciples. Unlike the northern schools, southern mantis rarely emphasizes one type of technique; the mantis hook is employed, but so are numerous other trapping and controlling maneuvers. The typical closed fist of other styles is absent from the southern sect, which instead favors the mantis fist, a modification of the leopard punch, but concentrating all of the striking force through a single finger. Stances are low to moderate, but firmly anchored to the ground. There is tremendous use of the knees, elbows and low, powerful kicks. There are few feints or distraction strikes; everything is designed for 100% power output, and is, thus, potentially lethal. There is reason to believe that at least some of the Southern method was a direct result to ward off a political oppression during the mid-19th century, which is further reinforced by the secret society nature of the sect. Bamboo Forest employs fighting philosophies common to Wing Chun and White Eyebrow kung fu, and there is stylistic evidence to support the idea that strong exchange of information has occurred between these schools."
Kempo_Dude Posted May 30, 2002 Posted May 30, 2002 Impressive! Kempo dude says: Stand up show me what you got, im black belter in kempo, im a Kempo champ. lets see who will win!
nonpuritan Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 didnt see this style posted yet so yea here: one of my favorite kung fu styles; wu-tang sword style! lets of rich history to it and great storys, heh. Also great stlye, but very rare.
larryjf Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 if you can find a shaolin school, that would be the best. You would learn many different styles - Tiger, dragon, snake, praying mantis, iron palm, monkey, etc. from my experience, the teacher will put you into certain styles that he thinks you are most made for. Personally, i would stay away from monkey unless you are just going to learn it for show. It looks really cook, but practically it is not very good.
Shaolin Fighter Posted September 13, 2002 Posted September 13, 2002 I have trained in various MA over the years but I like my Shaolin Kung-Fu the best. I'll be learning JKD along with my Shaolin Kung-Fu next year and I can't wait...
jmd161 Posted January 11, 2003 Posted January 11, 2003 I'm looking to try out another martial art now that I'm going to lay off learning more karate soon (I'll be able to get my 2nd degree soon). I've never tried Kung Fu, so I don't know much about it. I'm very interested in learning Monkey, or perhaps Tiger, not sure which.. or if either. The problem with Monkey is that I can't find a club anywhere around, I'm wondering if I should move on and look for something else. Can anyone recommend a style for me? Where in canada are you? The Grandmaster of Tai Shing Pek Kwar (Monkey Style) moved to canada.Monkey style is a system that is also within other styles.Monkey is not something you're going to learn right off. It takes a good foundation in kung fu before you learn monkey style.Tiger is a awesome style also your best bet is to look around and see what you like.It might seem like something you like ,but you'll never know until you start it. jmd The Basics Are The Hidden Secret To Kung Fu Master The Basics.
