What do you think of Northern Praying Mantis?
I'm in the process of trying out a school ( free lessons for a month!) So far it doesn't seem bad. www.jademountain.org That is where I'm attending. How does this look? Suggestion's of a kung-fu style? Thank you sir |

It all depends upon what you are looking for. As a combat tool, you just want to make sure that the school is doing lots of sparring in all the ranges. As a martial art of artistic expression, Mantis is very interesting. Try as many schools as you can and choose the one that fits your personality and goals. Aloha!
