A Brief and Recent of History of Seven Star Mantis
A Brief and Recent of History of Seven Star Mantis
There are numerous versions of this style which originates in the northern Chinese province of Saan Dung (Shan Dong). There are many stories and legends attached to the style which repor- tedly arose around the beginning of the Ching (Qing) Dynasty (mid-seventeenth century). More details will be provided in a more appropriate area of this site (along with links to other sites with similar material)
Suffice it to say, over the centuries, a number of sub-versions of the original arose. We hope to offer information to interested parties from many sources that wish to share what they have with us, the main sect or sub-version that will be discussed here most quickly and in greatest detail is the one that was brought to the south of China – Gwangjau and Hong Kong – sometime after the end of the First World War by Lo Gwong-Yuhk, a native of Saan Dung Province.

2018, Notes on Anatomy & Physiology for Yoga Education
A bit more of western science in the context of yoga, to add to ones library, at least chapters 1-19, if interested.
Chapters of particular interest to current inquiries:
4. Bones, Muscles, and Joints
Pages 18-20 was a good refresher on certain topics that may influence certain physical movement practices.
9. Endocrine System
Of interest in the context of aspects of the Yellow Emperor’s Classic on internal medicine, but also the yoga concept of the three gunas.
Later chapters may be a bit too much for some.
Investigating further cultural and historical adaption in functional movement patterns in martial arts systems and styles.
The information on this site is useful data to incorporate into one’s current toolkit of analysis and exploration of martial anthropology and alchemy. It’s NOT an end in itself, but a channel of inquiry with useful elements.
It may not be useful alone for commercial martial businesses.

Interesting comparison of aspects certain Chinese Physical alchemy methods. The mention and analysis of 3 primary vessels and clearing was useful.

Interesting perspective on dimensions of awareness.

Related to studies on Chi Gung and Hatha yoga. Current focus of analysis is the 18 Lohan in its varied versions as compared to certain gnostic alchemy practices, as related body changes at certain times of day.
