Yes, in fact Adam and I both belong to the same northern mantis so he is my older kung fu brother (si hing).Jade Tigress said:Cool. Thanks. I take it you are studying Northern Mantis like Adam? How long have you been training? I would be interested in the differences too. I'll keep you posted as I learn more. It should make for an interesting discussion. :asian:
I looked up southern mantis and I found contradicting information on it. Some say it is not related to northern mantis at all, and some say it came from the north when some monks migrated to the south. Anyway so far the high level characteristics are the same. but i would be interested in comparing the 'principles', and to see if you guys share the same keywords passed from 'wang lang' (the guy who invented mantis in shandong province)
