Mantis
There are Mantis techniques and forms within Chi Lin. Some of the characteristics of this fighting style are unique hand positions and strikes.
A powerful upper body and arms need to be developed by students of this style.
The development occurs with Nei Gung excesises and dynamic tension movments that mimic the fighting of the actual mantis.
The strikes are made with the back of the hand, the fingers, the palm of the hand, elbows, forearm, knees and kicks.
Flying kicks and quick agile footwork are also part of this style, as well as ground fighting with quick movements and kicks.
In this style the Mantis should be observed to truly understand the attitude you need when fighting.
The attitude is a very intense, quick reaction to the opponent. Short, fast and direct. The palm of the hand is slammed into the opponent.
Not only to damage and cause pain, but also, to control the mass of the person and set them up for attacks.
The form, King Mantis, in Chi Ling Pai is probably the most physically difficult form to do in the art.
In The form, the attacks are varied and are in the short to medium range of fighting.
Then the mantis flies. This part of the form has spinning ground techniques and kicks.
