SEVEN ROAD FORM (Qian Qi Lu)

Some Mantis teachers shown an expanded version of Tan Tui with fourteen roads. This is a similar set which shows a seven road series of distinctive Tong Bei Mantis strikes and movements. Probably the best of the series to get an intoduction to the particulars of this style in reference to other Mantis branches. Demonstrator: Li Guo Xiong. Tong Bei Tang Lang is a much lesser know style of the Mantis school. To some the union of the two might not be very propitious. However, through careful selection of techniques of Tong Bei (as contributed to the Ba Bu Mantis) those Long Art features which did not clash with the Mantis theory were selected. We should never forget that Long Arm training is often madatory in different Mantis styles and, indeed, the style itself came from Long Fist. #chinesemartialarts #tanglangquan #wushu
