Description
Developed over 300 years ago by Wang Lang, Praying Mantis Kung Fu is a unique martial art based on the fighting skills of an insect. This system uses swift and methodical movements for defense and offense, helping practitioners develop great strength and perseverance. The Complete Guide to Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu provides an in-depth look at the history and practice of this remarkable martial art. Author Stuart Alve Olson draws on his studies with T. T. Liang, as well as detailed descriptions from Masters Feng Huan-I and Wang Han-Fon, to create a comprehensive guide. The book includes step-by-step instructions for fundamental Praying Mantis stances, exercises, footwork, and kicks, clearly illustrated by over 200 photographs. What sets this book apart is its philosophical depth, offering a clear account of the development of the art and the Taoist principles from which it arose. This guide not only helps you master the martial art of Praying Mantis Kung Fu but also provides insights into mastering oneself, the true goal of all martial arts.
