Chung's Kwongsai Mantis teaching was based on actual combat applications with techniques such as hidden force, phoenix eye fists, club hand, and nail knees with power from the Dan Tien (navel). Having earned the nickname, "King of the Staff", he incorporated the "34 Points Plum Blossom Staff" to commemorate his teacher, Monk Lee Siem.
Many relatives of Chung Yel Chong, as well as, elder Mantis players remain in the Dan Sui district today. The Hakka are a large minority. At the time of this writing, the Chung family lives very comfortably within a large gated area, three generations under one roof, including both grandsons and their families and their mother. None admit to practice Mantis today, only the Kwongsai Jook Lum Temple Medicine.
