Praying Mantis

  Praying Mantis is a combination of a set of sophisticated deflections, counters, and grappling movements with Monkey style footwork (see Monkey style, below). The fundamental strategy of Praying Mantis is to wait patiently for an opening (often in the form of an attack), then tie the opponent's arms with a grappling technique and strike into soft areas and nerve centers.

Monkey

 The monkey uses a lot of throat, eye and groin strikes as well as tumbling and falling techniques. It incorporates a lot of false steps to give the appearance it is defenseless and uses a lot of off balance strikes. The Monkey is an advanced method that demands much of its practitioners. The monkey assumes that the opponent is larger and stronger, and compensates by making it hard to reach or hold onto its practitioner. The Monkey stylist jumps, flips, rolls, and climbs to avoid his attacker. He attacks from peculiar angles, and contorts his body to strike when the opponent believes himself safe. the Monkey likes to tease their opponents into rash action and take advantage of their rashness.

Bear

The bear represents power, fearless determination, supernatural strength, and ability to resist pain. The fight of the bear is to take pain, to give pain. The bear knows only one direction, and that is forward. It fights to the death.

Eagle
The Eagle is an animal method derived from the grappling art of Shaolin Chin Na. It relies on very powerful seizing, pinching, twisting, and locking techniques to immobilize or punish an attacker. The Eagle develops its grips to facilitate application of painful locks and nerve pinches. Like jujutsu, the Eagle employs leverage and joint manipulation to defeat an opponent.
