The birthplace of mantis boxing
Main schools: divided into North Mantis and South Mantis. According to legend, North Mantis was created by Wang Lang, a native of Jimo County, Shandong Province in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. After the failure of the competition, he was inspired by the dexterity and ferocity of mantis catching cicadas, so he caught mantis and observed its fighting skills with two forearms, thus creating a variety of martial arts techniques such as hook, hug, pick, hang, Diao, entanglement, chopping and sliding, which became a unique mantis fist of the North School. The southern mantis boxing, also known as Zhou Jia mantis boxing, is said to have been created by Zhou Yanan, a Cantonese in Qing Dynasty. Its technique and theory are completely different from those of the northern mantis in Shandong, but very similar to those of Nanquan. In addition to the above-mentioned northern and southern mantis boxing, on the basis of the northern mantis boxing, after years of study or mixing with other boxing methods, there are also one-arm mantis boxing, wrestling mantis boxing, flat mantis boxing and eight-step mantis boxing.
