Shaolin 7 Praying Mantis Fist ( Bai Yuan Xian Shu)

Bai Yuan (White Ape) Xian Shu (Offering books) is one of the routine in Shaolin 7 Star Praying Mantis Fist. Smooth complete forces. A combination of softness hardness. This set is a bit longer than some of the others. However there are more sections where certain motions are repeated somewhat like line work in a basics class. Strong moves intermixed with some fast combinations. Much flexible footwork. Demonstrator: Shi De Jun. Created by Wang Lang over 300 years ago it is considered the last official style to have originated in the Shaolin Temple. Mantis players harken back to original Kung Fu in that they often study and freely take from other branches of their art. This makes Mantis one of the broadest and most successful styles of Kung Fu. This branch of the Mantis, lesser known than most, keeps the Shaolin flavor as a component of its style. Support channel on Paypal: , chinesemartialarts, kungfu , wushu
