Here are a couple of videos of me performing 2 Praying Mantis forms at the Houston International Martial Arts/USAWKF National Championships in Stafford, Texas. I won Gold medals for both forms.

No...actually they're quite different.

Here are a couple SPM clips to give you an idea.

Very good! I'm interested, what lineage do you train? I trained for three years in 7 Star Praying mantis, the Lee Kam Wing Hong Kong branch

Well, lets see, my sifu studies with Master Arthur D'Agostino and Master Arthur has trained with GM Chan Pui and I believe he has been training with Master Li Enjiu. I have only been doing mantis for about a year. Now, from what my sifu says, our particular mantis is Taiji Plum Flower Praying Mantis.
