I found this site by accident while looking for a Praying Mantis school in my local area I recently relocated to. Unfortunately there are none. My martial arts training comes from being ex military, and civilian law enforcement. Also I am a student of Wing Chun. Because of past training in Wing Chun solo practice is not difficult for me, so I figured I would give the online university a shot. I have found this decision to be one of the best decisions I have made regarding my martial arts education. What I have learned so far has been absolutely amazing. The immediate difference from Sifu Daily and other instructors I have had is that he describes the practical applications for every technique and how to use them in a real scenario from the start. For example: Sifu Daily explained in detail how the stances are actual tactical maneuvers, and not mere fixed fighting positions. He then shows how to use them for actual attack and defense. I have never experienced stances taught this way. This was the class that sold me on committing to the entire course. The realism of this course is cannot be understated! If you are looking for realistic Kung Fu training to defend yourself this is the course to take!

First off let me say great site, the lessons are layed out well and mr. daily and mr. hardy are both excellent instructors. ive purchased almost all of level one and it was worth every penny and now am planning on purchasing the dvds. Any idea when the level two material will be avaliable?

Thanks for the lessons. They are well thought out and informative. I wasn't able to keep training with my sifu and thought I'd never be able to learn again. You have given me an opportunity to keep up with my training I started long ago. I was surprised how well the lessons were taught, so thank you very, very, very much. I don't think I will ever get to the skill level that I have always wanted but now someday my son will because of you.

5 stars! That is quite a detailed explanation of the trapping and seizing aspects of mantis. I know a lot more now about it thanks to this video. All the best to you!

The Level 1 online curriculum that you gave me is also outstanding. To support your awesome work, and to build a nice Mantis instructional library, I just purchased Levels 2 and 3. Thank you for the excellent instruction. I grew up taking Kung Fu, some Mantis. I got frustrated because the teachers would rarely show me what a move was used for. Finally, I moved to Kenpo for 20 years. But, I've always had a love for Kung Fu, so, at 48, here I am, determined to learn Northern Mantis.
