Developed by Wang Lang over 300 years ago, Praying Mantis Kung Fu
is the only martial art based on the fighting skills of an insect.
This fascinating system utilizes swift, methodical movements for
defence and attack, and is well respected as an art that helps
practitioners develop great strength and perseverance. "The
Complete Guide to Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu" provides an
in-depth look at the history and practice of this remarkable
martial art. Author Stuart Alve Olson, a student of T. T. Liang,
draws on the lineages of Masters Feng Huan-I and Wang Han-Fon, but
includes detailed description of all major schools, styles, and
lineages. What sets this book apart from other works on Praying
Mantis is its philosophical depth; author Olson gives a clear
account of the development of the art and the Taoist principles
from which it arose. This book provides the basis for not only
mastering the martial art of Praying Mantis Kung Fu but also
mastering oneself - the true goal of all martial arts.
