"Volume Four:  One, Three & Nine Step Attack / Defense"
























Continuing partner training from volume three one now learns target practice to attack the chin and solar plexus as the mor shu, gwak shu, and foun shu defensive hands are used to control the centerline. One step, three step, and nine step partner training teaches single, double and triple punching with defensive hands and fundamental stepping. Attacking (and defense) is taught one step-one strike and one step-three strikes target practice.

"Volume Five: Centerline Sticky Hand Training"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 




Continuing from volume four, you now put together the basic target practice of single, double and triple striking with the basic centerline defense skills, mor shu, gwak shu, and choc shu to train offensive and defensive “chi sao” or sticky hand. First, 4 count sticky hand teaches the ability not to blink when being hit using mor, gwak and choc (foun) shu; next, 2 count sticky hand mor, gwak, foun teaches to defend and attack sticking with the opponent in movement using both inside and outside the gate, and double bridge. This training culminates in the fundamental sticky hand set one.  SPM05 $39.98 (90 minutes)

"Volume Six: Same Hand / Opposite Hand Attacks"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Continuing from volume five, one next practices loosening the 3 hands of the mantis arm with “second and third power circling;” then the 10 elbow strokes are taught to shorten the in-fighting; next after having trained in the previous volumes single defense and offense, one now learns to defend and attack with the same hand in one motion, fixed and stepping; followed by simultaneous centerline defense (mor, gwak, foun) and attack with the opposite hand both static and stepping. Turning power and speed of the basic centerline skills is then further refined by the 3 star hooking hands exercise. SPM06 $39.98 (60 minutes)

INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO SERIES

"TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL
PROGRAMS"
...I’ve seen these
films.  I’m also a collector of martial arts videos and can honestly say the instructional format on this Southern Mantis Basic Instructional Series is the best I’ve ever seen. You can learn from these tapes...

...The clarity and camera angles are above average. Lighting and sound is equally adequate. The kungfu is easily seen as expert. The teaching format is first class. Definitely, this is the best instructional series I’ve seen - watch it in progression...

...1997, Sifu Hagood, himself, presents in clear concise detail full explanations of each skill and then students demonstrate step by step the foundation and fundamental skills. Thank you Sifu Hagood for raising my understanding of traditional kungfu not only southern mantis...

...Without a doubt the large amount of fine Kung Fu skills taught on these (videos) are extremely valuable for anyone with the desire to develop themselves into a traditional martialist!
Over the last decade I have been involved in, and researched, numerous martial arts and I can honestly say the skills, principles and teaching progression of this series helped me grow and understand more about martial art!
Sifu Hagood's willingness...to pass on what he has learned over the...decades...is something that should not be passed up.
