Mantis was developed in 1600 by Wang Lang in the Ming Dynasty in Northern China. Wang Lang based this martial art on observations he made of a preying mantis fighting a cicada. The Mantis fighting style is known for its quick and accurate attacks and lightning-fast speed. One of the most distinctive features of Northern Praying Mantis is the "praying mantis hook". a hook made of two fingers directing force in a whip-like manner, and it can be used for blocking, adhere to an opponent's limb, or attack critical spots. Here are some techniques below.
Taizan Soukoushu
The user coils back with a low crouch, then lunges both hands to the upper body. This move will home in on dodging opponents.
Hiten Rakutai
The user does a full body flipping kick with one leg outstretched. This technique covers a lot of space because of the outstretched leg, meaning you can even catch those who
try and roll away if they don't do it fast enough.
Toukuu Gekishou
While jumping straight forward, the user swings his hand in an overhead arc. For a jumping attack this move comes out relatively fast, and the nature of the arcing punch makes it a little less easy to peck.
Kousou Ryou'inkyaku
The user does a very low sweep kick followed by a mid hitting lunging spinning kick. This move has deceptively long range and, if some anticipation is used, it can hop right over low attacks while still connecting.
