SUMMARY: Advanced Training Drills

This tutorial excerpt describes two advanced Northern Mantis Kung-Fu training drills:

JIM LIM (contact and stick) – A two-person drill where Sifu Jeff Bruflat demonstrates mantis hooking techniques to pull down an opponent’s arm while maintaining contact, followed by a spear hand strike to the midsection.

• The drill begins with slow practice and gradually increases in speed to develop coordination.
• The defender uses an upward “KWA” (掛) blocking technique against strikes.

Wrist Lock Drill – Beneficial for developing wrist strength and punching power.
