WORK IN PROGRESS
The essence of Soft Spirit is its fluidity and adaptability, characteristics that have been meticulously captured in this compilation. This manual was conceived and developed by GM Huang Hanxun whose wisdom and experience have shaped its content. Prior to his passing he compiled a comprehensive and detailed description for each posture, including the essential transition movement, these translated descriptions are what have used within the pages of the manual.
Each technique presented here is a testament to the grandmaster’s dedication to preserving and transmitting the art of Northern Mantis Boxing. The meticulous attention to detail ensures that Mantis practitioners can faithfully practise the movements, capturing the spirit and essence of the style.
For the photoset we have used GM Huang Hanxun’s disciple. Grand Master Yuen Man Kai’s postures from Chinese Boxing Magazine Article ( publication and date unknown)
This compilation serves not only as a practical guide but also as a tribute to the lineage’s enduring legacy. Our teachings emphasize the importance of persistent practice and resilience, lessons that resonate deeply through each page of this manual. It is my hope that this work will inspire and educate, carrying forward the grandmaster’s vision for generations to come. Translation in progress, we hope to have this available to the community soon.
With respect and gratitude, D.McNaught
