About 7-Star Praying Mantis
The Rochester Kung Fu & Fitness specializes in the teaching of the 7-Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu System. 7 Star Praying Mantis is said to be one of the most effective street self defense systems that exists today. 7-Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu is famous for close quarter hand trapping skills, fast kicking and striking techniques, throws and submissions (Chin Na).
Seven Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu focuses on effectively using their attacker's own force against them. This includes evading or dodging movements, stealing your opponent’s center and unbalancing your opponents which will allow you to gain control or throw them. It also focuses on strengthening and conditioning the body. Praying Mantis Kung Fu is a principle driven system. This means there are principles to follow and we are not “stuck” with only one move or technique for any given situation. Essentially, you will be able to deal with any situation and your skill level, as well as your arsenal, will become endless.
