Praying Mantis

Seven Star Praying Mantis is a Northern style of kung fu that combines the rapid hand movements of the mantis with the quick elusive footwork of the monkey. It is classified as a "soft style" of kung fu as it seeks to avoid meeting power with power. Rather, its practitioners avoid the opponent's strike whenever possible, but if contact is made, they seek to maintain control of the opponent. These methods are very practical and superb for full contact or street fighting. Indeed many feel that it is the most aggressive style of Chinese martial art. These tapes have been extremely well received by those individuals wishing to train in a very explosive style. The forms are also well suited for tournament demonstration. 

The Praying Mantis system is presented by internationally known practitioner, Sifu Al Cheng ( Cheng Luen Chuen) and his skilled students. Sifu Cheng is a former Full Contact Kung Fu Champion of Hong Kong in his weight class.
