We like: Liuhe Tanglangquan form ‘Duan Chui’ 六合螳螂拳 短捶
Nice performance of the Duan Chui (short strikes) form of Liuhe Tanglang. Like someone already said in the YouTube comments:

We like: Yantai TV Tanglang Quan Documentary 烟台电视台《螳螂拳》
Nice short documentary about Tanglang Quan. They talk a little about the origins and characteristics of the general style as well as the four big sub-styles.

I guess they made this choice, since it’s a mainland documentary (from Yantai) and Babu is not very big there. Anyway, prepare for some nice demonstrations. However, I have to add that I personally didn’t enjoy the Meihua in this video that much. Continue reading

We’ve been posting a lot of silly stuff and videos until now. In between we had some nice clips of some different martial arts and some articles, but not much of our main martial art Tanglang Quan. So here a … Continue reading
We like: Enter the Dragon by Rory Miller
We really like this article by Rory Miller about the three minds/brains we humans have. He writes: Your human mind is thoughtful and aware, reasonable if not always purely logical. You are not in this mode nearly as often as you think … Continue reading
