[SOCOMSASGsG9]

hey man, im into mantis, southern praying mantis. kwong sai jook lum gee tong long pai. it is tong long (but that isnt the full name). i got a thread on southern mantis if you wanna check that out.

oh yes, southern mantis is a very real system, but its very small. i only know of a few schools in america, and most of those are rented gymnasiums. but mantis is a real and ver effective system.

which style of mantis do you take guy? southern, northern, 7 star?

Southern Praying mantis. Dong gong chow gar tong long is this particular branches name.

Sthn Pray. Mantis

Our school used to teach Sth Prey Mantis but now teaches Ging Mo Kune.

I'm not sure what the difference's are but it is based upon SPM.

my sister does northern praying mantis. I haven't tried fighter her yet tho.
Just to clear things up tho, if there's a tong long in a name of a style of kung fu does it always mean they are doing praying mantis. Is tong long just praying mantis

aNY AND ALL PEOPLE DOING TONG LONG.I cant be the only one!

I absolutely love it!

testing people how to spell it wont get you any closer tp true master. are you expecting a mantis master must know that in english? what if he's from china? and what if he's not from the 7 star, there's also 6 harmony mantis, plum flower mantis, northern, southern....etc. it's like you ask a person how to say 詠春 in english, there's wing chun, ving tsun..., even in chunese people use 詠春or永春.
i just dont want you to find a fake master who just searched the "5 mantis styles in english for beginners" on google.

Why not forget about spelling and discuss the art itself? I myself practice Beng Bu (crushing step) every day. Some teachers say it is really all you need.
If you can use all the postures, transitions, techniques, and theories inherent in this mother form. What do you think?

I practice northern Mantis.
