OverviewNorthern Praying Mantis is a style of Chinese kung fu (martial arts) that originated in the northern Chinese province of Shandong. Its unique methodologies frequently imitate the motions exhibited by the praying mantis insect. Rapid and dexterous movements, deceptive footwork, and forceful strikes are hallmarks of this style. The Northern Praying Mantis exhibits a notable predilection for hand techniques, specifically rapid strikes executed with the hands and limbs. Additionally, practitioners employ throws, joint locks, and strikes. Applying grappling and entrapment techniques to maintain control over opponents, this style is renowned for its effectiveness in close combat. Northern Praying Mantis, similar to numerous conventional martial arts, integrates components of discipline, philosophy, and self-defense instruction. As well as for its physical benefits, it is also practiced for the purpose of personal growth. As time has passed, distinct styles of the art have surfaced, each with its own lineage and school emphasizing marginally different training methods and techniques.
