7 Star Praying Mantis (七星 螳螂拳): The most popular of all, especially outside China and the south of the country; Plum Blossom Praying Mantis (梅花 螳螂拳): The second most popular, famous in Shandong and region, and also abroad. It arose from the combination of the Plum Blossom (梅花拳) style with an ancient lineage of Praying Mantis. It is lighter than the 7 Stars, having more active movement, alternating high and low, and larger steps. Praying Mantis 6 Harmonies (六合 螳螂拳): The third most popular branch of the style. Considered the softest and most distinguished among the praying mantis lines. It was developed by uniting an ancient lineage of Praying Mantis with a style called Liuhequan (六合 拳 - 6 Harmonies). It is not known if it is the same Liuhequan style, similar to Shaolin, as this lineage does not have any of the characteristics of the style. This style uses slower, smoother movements like Taijiquan, and features features from styles like Xingyiquan, Pigua, Tongbei. Your steps are formed, force starting from the spine in a whip-like movement, being manifested in the hands. It has only 7 shapes, all exclusive, and makes little use of the hook of the hands, which is very present in other styles. It is very popular in North China and Taiwan. Mantis Taiji (太極 螳螂拳): The name Taiji comes from the theory of alternation and balance between Yin and Yang. It is lighter than Plum Blossom and 7 Stars, making greater use of internal strength and rounder movements. This lineage was made famous in Hong Kong by the master Chiu Chuk Kai who introduced the style to the south. Taiji Praying Mantis Plum Blossom (太極 梅花 螳螂拳): Developed by the Hao family of Yantai from the Plum Blossom style. Whiteboard Praying Mantis (光 板 螳螂拳): A very rare lineage. Similar to Plum Blossom. Long Fist Praying Mantis (長拳 螳螂拳): Taught in Taiwan, it was developed with great influence from the Long Fist, similar to Shaolin. Secret Door Praying Mantis (秘 門 螳螂拳): Taught in Taiwan, it is a variant of the Taiji Praying Mantis. 8-Step Praying Mantis (八 步 螳螂拳): Famous in Taiwan, it was developed from Plum Blossom Praying Mantis, Wah Lum Family Shaolin Taoist Mantis (華林 螳螂拳): Result of the combination of the 7 Star Mantis and the Tantui style, developed at the Wah Lum temple in Shandong
Ni hao ma? Wo shi Raulino! Hello Sifu, my name is Raulino (or Haolino). I love your Wu Shu, your forms(Tao Lu) is wonderfull. I want to learn the application of some forms(Tao Lu), but I can't to go Hong Kong or Beijing now. There is a possibility of me being your student online by internet? I could pay you for you to send me videos with applications and executions of forms (taolu)! Let's get it? I wait for your decision Sifu!!!
That's the original name of the style even from former times. It's the later styles which share the same or similar name that have to change their label to clarify, like 福建白鶴，五祖白鶴。。。。。。。。。。。whatever 白鶴！
Hop Gar and Tibetan White Crane are distinctly differnent fighting arts. When studying this art in San Francisco with Sifu Ron Dong during the early 1980's, your position was a frequent opinion in the greater martial arts community, that Tibetan White Crane was simply a sub-system of the Lama system. Although born from the mother style and sharing many common attributes, Tibetan White Crane has a unique approach, methodology, and diverging history over time. The two schools do share a common source, but in my experience many aspects of the Lama method such as posture, footwork, and fighting strategies appeared distinctly different when executed by White Crane practitioners. The divergence of training lineages over time has also likely introduced unique changes and improvements as the individual systems have continued to evolve. Both systems have their own unique "flavor" due to a differing emphasis on in fighting principles and physical tools to achieve success in combat. Both schools have rigorous approaches to training with an aggressive fighting mindset. The shared root of both methods can make it difficult for untrained eye to recognize the differences between the two schools based on forms appearance and execution alone. Given that much of the lineage for both arts found in the SF bay area were, I believe, descended from the teachings of the legendary Hop Gar grandmaster Harry Ng, similarities in appearance between the two separate systems is not surprising. Although I never met master Ng directly (he was unfortunately killed during a drive-by shooting during the volatile San Francisco Tong Wars that exploded in the 1970's), I did train with Hop Gar students from a different training group in the East Bay and was even allowed to view a bootleg video of master Ng performing a Hop Gar form (secrecy amongst the Gung Fu community was very high at that time); he took rapid and mobile short steps, with his arms moving so fast that his long "wave" fist techniques took the shape of a near-perfect sphere as he moved. Extraordinary. In execution, the White Crane I studied appeared to place a greater emphasis on long over short fist techniques to maintain distance (particularly the charging straight punch which was practiced heavily in classes with students circling each other), a more vertical spinal position in some applications, wider steps, a lesser focus on close-range bridgework and more concentration on evasion and entry footwork patterns, and a downplay of grappling when compared to our Hop Gar brothers and sisters. Tibetan Hop Gar and Tibetan White Crane are two related, but separate systems.
@@middlepath3607 That's incorrect! Hop Gar and Tibetan White Crane come from the same lineage. If you didn't learn short hand or defensive hands from your White Crane sifu, then he wasn't a true TWC sifu. They are one in the same. A little history. Sigung Harry Ng originally trained with GM Wong Lam Hoi who ram Wong Yan Lam White Crane School. WYL became blind n had retired Sigung would bring medicine from WLH to WYL. And ultimately WYL taught Sigung albeit being blind. The name Hop Gar means Knight family. WYL ran an escort service protecting rich caravans. He was bestowed the name, "Knight" and transcended TWCF to Hop Gar. It all originates from the same lineage. All these Sifu's changed the style a bit to differentiate between sifu's. It was just a marker to identify which Lineage you trained with. Btw I'm Ron Dongs sihing, as we both trained at Sifu George Long's studio on Geary Street. And I trained in every Crane lineage in SF...Fong-Sifu and my other Sigung is Leung Kwan.
@jeffreyra1350 That's true, but many Hop Gar lineages have more Hung Gar influences than either White Crane or Lama Pai. Therefore, there is a good number of advanced hands and weapons sets that aren't found in other lineages.

Wow, I had training in White Crane many years ago. This guy really brought it back to me. A bit intense for my level now, but wow, great.
兩位都虎虎生威，孔武有力，勁！👍👍👍
6 power fist (Luk Lik Kuen) is the first form in Pak Hok Pai system (Tibetan White Crane), The system has a close relation to Lama and Hap Gar.
TWC Kung Fu 9
Close relation? It's the same lineage!
TWC Kung Fu Canada...last I check Pak Hok Pai, LAMA Pai and Hap Gar pai are alternative names of the same system buddy...
反對嘅老友們！好簡單啫，唔駛拗，你就放你嘅video上黎，罵等我地學下囉！
Yes, it definitely resembles Hop Gar and Lama style. Nice form.

Looks more like Lama style, aka Hop Gar.
Why you don't write Hop Gar? It is the true name of your style and the best way to avoid any misunderstanding
That's the original name of the style even from former times. It's the later styles which share the same or similar name that have to change their label to clarify, like 福建白鶴，五祖白鶴。。。。。。。。。。。whatever 白鶴！
Hop Gar name came later! The original name is lions roar or lama pai!
