First, be advised that all of these VCD's are IN CHINESE ONLY . In our opinion that doesn't matter much because the instruction is clear and the quality of photography very good. But we will not accept returns just because people didn't read... IN CHINESE ONLY. Given that, these are really tremendous deals for the money. Each of these special VCD's can be played on a computer for full enjoyment. Made for PC's they are also Mac compatible by downloading Quicktime (for free) and any similiar VCD player pro gram.Also playable on most DVD players. For less than $10.00? Wow! |

 VCD#1224
7 Star Mantis Cha Chui Boxing About 1 Hour, VCD pricing, Chinese Only This is a relatively short but very well known form. It is outlined in Wang Hon Fun's series of books and correlates to our traditional Chinese book #TC403. The movements here are fast and angular with the Mantis flavor and applications are shown (partially) for numerous actions in the form. This is a rooftop production and while possibly not the best Mantis we've seen is an accurate version. One little thing, the practitioner - to our eyes - might have had some Southern training as well as Northern. On the other hand, as anyone knowledgeable will tell you, Mantis, like Tai Chi, is a single family. |
