Praying Mantis Kung-fu: Spear Hand

One of the better books (and series) in English on the Praying Mantis style. Eng ShihFu is a representative of a number of branches of Kung Fu (lineage) but foremost of these is his Tai Mantis credentials. This book shows the Single Thrust Flower both in form and with applications. There is also a very interesting section explaining all the 18 styles such as Tai Tzu which contributed to the Mantis along with examples from Mantis forms as examples of their influence. Also the 12 KEY words are explained. The 18 styles and 12 Keys are also shown calligraphically.
