I found this video of a Northern Mantis meeting. Some good drills and nice application work.

yeah obviously7starmantis said:Fernando's page is accurate for the most part. Your right anyone can claim they study under someone, but their skill will tell the truth if their words lie.

that's not completely true7starmantis said:Um, what money? You mean like getting students? Yeah thats just the way it is though, in America you have to deal with that in any business. The electrician you hire may not really know what he's doing either.

damn.. im starting to question of lo kwan yu knew any KF for real now!7starmantis said:You will also see certificates on the walls of martial arts schools. Unless you research the ones hanging in either the electricians office and the MA school they do no good to you. There are many, many ways to get "certificates" that mean absolutely crap. Also, having worked in the medical field I've seen "registered" nurses doing things that would make your blood boil...and loose them thier liscense, so a certificate really means...not much.

you're right...
monster123 said:Very impressive techniques. However, one must go beyond application and into sparring. For instance, in wrestling when you learn how to do a double leg takedown on a willing partner, it is an entirely different situation when you wrestle for real. Even if you have the techniques and mechanics down, you will have to make attempt after attemp before you can accomplish the takedown.
And some of the techniques in the video clip looks tricky. The willing partner is holding his arm out letting the instructor perform those moves on him. When you punch you extend the arm and quickly retract, not hold it out there. So the techniques have to be accomplished in that split second when a guy's arm is fully extended before he retracts it. If I see the instructor do that in a sparring situation that would be very impressive.
