Happy holidays to all!

Is there a wooden dummy form in 7 Star Mantis?
I have seen a form in some of Lee Kam Wing’s book’s and was wondering is this a “wooden dummy form” or is it just a couple of techniques put together?

Does anyone here use the wooden dummy in their mantis training? and how has it helped them?

Thank’s

dummy form.

HH’s to you SM.

Tai Chi Praying Mantis has a wooden dummy form,

it consists of 108 moves combining hand/leg strikes,pulling,pushing,jamming,sweeping,elbows,knees,shoulders,done while sticking close to the dummy.

   As far as benefits are concerned,other than a partner the dummy is the best trainning aid to hone your techniques on,

 not to mention being a great conditioner,cheers.;)
