Shaolin Mantis. Seven Star Small Frame

Seven Star Boxing is one of the classic Shaolin forms. In this case it is the “small frame“ version and we put it on the same page as “Shaolin Seven Star Mantis“ for obvious historical reasons. This form displays very fast hands and mostly short movements. There are a number of section with multiple hand strikes off the same hand sans alternation. A quick and clean form. SHAOLIN PRAYING MANTIS (7 Star Style) 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. #chinesemartialarts #shaolin #wushu
