haha hey i did not know that there was a waddling duck style. hee hee,
well i started with praying mantis. that has always been a good one for me,but i started to like the drunken system. i like them all in fact.
i feel that i am most proficient in mantis. although i have been known to play around with the drunk style and blend the two( i think that there are drunken mantis forms but i have not learned any) i like the stickyness and close quarters of the mantis style(southern). when i think of the menatlity of the mantis i think of insect mentality and i immediately go to the movie “Alien”…that thing had no emotion and just attacked and wham,you were mince meat. i find mantids to be very dangerous critters,seeing them first hand attack prey and devour them(like wang lang did in the ancient past)any way thats my thing.

I like snake. It’s so quick and vicious. That, and I love point strikes with two fingers :eek:
After that, Monkey is great to watch, and my size makes me good at it. Then comes Crane, which I enjoy as well due to my small size and speed. Final is tiger, which just has agressivity and power in loads.
I just started in January so that is all that I can go by. It is a great style. I started out woth two friends, they do not practice now They claimed that it was not KARATE, the form was to open ( iguess they meant that they were not blocking at every move Then the truth came out, It’s too hard man!!! I still practice and yes it is too hard, but that’s the beuty of it. mind you I am about 100 lbs over weight. I LOVE IT!
