The third installment in the Mantis Ring series focuses on the pinnacle of solo practice, form training. The Mantis Ring Form has over 50 technique combinations with a breakdown of each movement from different angles as well as slow motion sequences. The Mantis Ring form allows the practitioner to utilize the material from the first two videos into one solo practice. The form utilizes a variety of combat ranges. Emphasis is placed on sensitivity, balanced hands, single and double bridge striking, technique flow, and transitioning. Ring training is valuable for conditioning, hand positioning, and sensitivity. Rings are in the same class of training tools as punching bags, iron palm bags, and wooden dummies. The ring is not a weapon but an essential tool for solo training. The ring is a universal tool that any fighting style can benefit from. The goal of this training series is to provide you with tools to adapt the ring to your primary art. Even though this video draws directly from Southern Mantis Kung Fu you will see how to use the ring in your own practice. Video 3 Contents: Sequences 1-5 Mantis Ring Form Runtime: 82 min Format: DVD
