Embark on a Powerful Journey with Northern Mantis Kung Fu at Martial​ Kung Fu​Systems

The hand techniques of Tanglang Quan run the gambit of possibilities. Open hand striking, use of the closed fist or even fingers are used based on the target chosen and the nature of the opponent. Both powerful looping strikes and pin point precision blows are blended as long range becomes close range and as the Mantis boxer moves from direct charging attacks to matador-like evasions.

The throws and locks of Tanglang Quan completely integrate with his striking and kicking skills. This enables the Mantis boxer to attack with punishing blows and move immediately into throws that send the opponent to ground in jarring fashion.           

​Mantis Boxing is a system with techniques suited to all body types. The larger and stronger person will find that the style has ample techniques to take advantage of these attributes. However, the smaller person will find that there are techniques that nullify the natural advantages of the larger, stronger opponent. Ultimately, among Kung-Fu practitioners of all styles, it is the one who trains the most consistently and diligently who will win in an encounter. The Mantis Boxer is the consummate fighter skilled at all ranges, and to fight in all environments. The road to mastery of Tanglang Quan is a long one but one that fighters for centuries have found well worth traveling.
