This video covers the Mantis Ring Form based on the Three Step Arrow form of Chuka Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu. The Mantis Ring Form is a dictionary of techniques and combat principles. The Mantis Ring form covers over 50 techniques and is broken down into 5 sections. Ring training is valuable for conditioning, hand positioning, and sensitivity. Rings are in the same class of training tools as punching bags, iron palm bags, and wooden dummies. The ring is not a weapon but an essential solo training tool for developing a strong bridge (forearm). The ring is a universal tool that any fighting style can benefit from.
