A short cartoon about the origins of the northern praying mantis style with some liberties as to the "facts" of the legend.  Look for: Northern Staff, Southern Staff, Wooden Dummy, Plum Blossom poles, and the Shen Lung Mantis engarde posture.

There is, but you have to be of a certain rank to access it. I'm not sure what rank that is. It's apparently somewhere above novice, because I can't see it either.

Yeah, there's a yellow/green sash-level child board on there, so advanced students can discuss some of the later stuff, but there's nothing posted there yet, so you're not really missing out.  Everything else is pretty much on the main Mantis board - wait, do we have anything on there yet?  I need to stick up for review my mantis footwork notes one of these days, just to run by the rest of you guys.

very cool.  We should have a multimedia section dedicated to video and photo sources of reference.
