Title: Seven-Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu by Leung Ting ISBN: 9-6272841-1-4 Publisher: BAFA Pub. Date: March, 1999 Format: Paperback List Price(USD): $16.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Detailed but understandable.
Comment: I have only had this book for 2 weeks, and prior to this I have had about a month and a half of basic karate and tae kwon do training. The forms are difficult to learn in the sense that unlike the "hard" forms of karate, the forms illustrated consist of several movements one must learn and then connect them smoothly. Therefore it may take 8 or so moves to deliver just one punch, but in the process you are also blocking and grabbing and pulling with each move. I highly recommend this book for those who earnestly wish to learn the basics of Seven Star Mantis. If you are unsure of which martial art is best suited for your body and mindset, this style is primarliy based on agility and flexibility. Evading all attacks to quickly defeat an opponent as well as reading every movement they make and "feeling" where they will move is the guiding force for Seven Star Praying Mantis
Rating: 4
Summary: Good basic exercises and pictures
Comment: It appears to be an overview of the 7 star mantis style with pictures to detail a number of the style's techniques. I was able to become comfortable with several of the techniques without having any previous martial arts experience. Overall, I think this is a pretty good book even though there is a section that is very difficult to practice without a wooden dummy.
