But I should also add this guy may not be the typical CMA student you generally run into. He had trained Traditional Southern Mantis for greater than 12 years with a Southern Mantis teacher from Southern China and he had just got out of the Marines.
That's typical south mantis technique though he had many years of training to perfect it. The style becomes useful quickly even to the new student though...(I was going to make a smart *** comment to mantis about whuppin his butt, but figured I better wait til I'm a little better..next week should be good...*runs*) ;) :p

Hey!! You’re the southern mantis person and I'm the guy that received the beating from a southern mantis person in the past. This is pay back for the beating and do you think I'm going to face you by myself. :eek:

yep those tiger hooks. I shipped them to my work address. My coworkers were having fun with them today!
I was supposed to go to a seminar but couldnt make it. I sent my brother instead. I'll have him teach me the form and tell you guys about it. I looked at that thing and i swear i cannot even imagine how this thing can be used!! embarrassing.

btw, i got your message. I live 'diagonally' across the country from you (souther california). I really hope to go to NY one day to check out KF schools. I'll ping you then ;)

I once saw a guy do a form with them, but I was just watching and all I can remember is thinking I am WAY to close to this.

let me know if you get to NY.

Oh yeah, I just finished learning a set with them. Its pretty tough to keep from hurting yourself! There is of course alot of hooking limbs and such. Its pretty cool, not one of my favorites, but its nice. I'm not sure if your Sifu teaches that weapon or not.

and yes, it's cheese balls. same sing :)

we had a tiger hooks seminar night. I couldnt go though. I have to go to chi sau this morning and learn it from whoever is there to review it. I hear it's a lot of difficult maneuvers and transitions.
but man, when i saw this weapon i was like who the heck invented that, he must be a genius!
