As to the mantis fight thing... It does look like these guys do northern mantis. You can actually see the style to some degree. However, there doesn't seem to be much rootedness nor any body connectivity in their "strikes".
But they are sparring, so hey... -

1) the strike is to the eye socket or temple.
2) No, mine did, but she was losing it by then. The last fight demo was way cooler.
3) The last fight showed quick drawing into springing punches, true to form.Give to Haiti relief. text "haiti' to 90999

It didn't look like hung gar it looked like dance lessons
Secret moves such as hitting a thing with your hand and hitting a thing with your leg have been stolen and degenerated by arts like karate, boxing, muay-thai, Kung-fu, and basketball. -Epicurious

I figure fighting a group of chunners would be like water torture, its not the force as such, just the constant trickle of chain punches wearing down your sanity. -The Juggernoob -

Indeed. It actually looked like what I consider Chinese systems to have--rooting and connected power.2) No, mine did, but she was losing it by then. The last fight demo was way cooler.
It's always strange to watch sparring where I'd be unafraid of either getting hit or being taken down. The first two clips were like that. Furthermore, there was far too much feinting. . .which generates an idea for a thread.
After looking at the demo clip again, it does have the drawing (that's a better description than my "hooking grab"; mantis ain't my thing). Furthermore, even though it was a demo, it was pretty obvious their body structure was *far* better trained.3) The last fight showed quick drawing into springing punches, true to form.
As an aside, I like the new reasonable you.
