Tamojin Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 As someone who took jujutsu for many years but now studies 7 star Praying Mantis; I find Mantis the more rounded of the two styles. Both have kicks, punches, throws, locks and pressure points etc. But Mantis has more fighting theory. It seems Mantis changes your thinking from being linear to thinking from all sides and angles, attacking while defending. But they are very similar otherwise as far as internal power development, power redirection and an emphasis on fluidity! Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless--like water.
