About Tai Chi Praying Mantis
The Tai Chi Mantis practitioner delivers strikes with internal power, resulting in a penetrating strike. Power is generated from the ground up, through the waist and into the strike. Praying Mantis style utilises a parallel principle to Tai Chi - leveraging contact from an opponent's strike or movement and returning a more powerful blow. There is a saying that " If you spar with a Tai Chi Mantis, every time you hit him, you're helping him train."
