Southern Praying Mantis (南派螳螂) is a Chinese martial art native to the Hakka (客家) communities of Southern China. Despite having the name “Praying mantis”, this style is completely unrelated to the Northern Praying Mantis style. In terms of history and techniques, the Southern Praying Mantis is more closely associated with fellow Hakka styles such as the Dragon (龍形拳) or Bak Mei (白眉拳) and more distantly to the Fujian family of styles that includes Fujian White Crane (白鶴拳), Five Ancestors (五祖拳), and Wing Chun (詠春). There are four main branches of Southern Praying Mantis being practised worldwide. Southern Praying Mantis is a close range fighting system that places much emphasis on short power and has aspects of both internal and external techniques. In application, the emphasis is on hand and arm techniques and limited use of low kicks. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I keep asking my mum to get me into martial arts and she keeps saying, "I'll get you into the Korean one down in Melbourne" I don't care which martial arts I do as long as I learn how to do self defence for myself. Personally I want to do martial arts that involve Avoid and evading. Kind of like Akido and Bagua, Hsing Yi and maybe some others like Northern Shaolin style of Kung Fu, Hung Gar, Tai Chi and Chu Gar Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu. If you know any of these martials arts avaliable in Australia, Victoria then please tell me :). Asked by Corey - Mon Feb 15 10:30:52 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yellowpages is your friend. Choose a few that are closest to where you live, then go to the introductory class to have a feel of the teaching style. Note that there's quite a few schools that have more focus on styles or sport tournaments rather than self defense, so choose carefully.
