I've put Praying Mantis back in. I've sparred with many of them, their Chin Na is awesome, and a huge part of their style, the praying mantis bug's arms seizing their victims the way they do. It is also a big part of the style I study, but it doesn't predominate, so I don't include T'ai Chi in the article, for example.Fire Star 19:47, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
I hope it's not in bad taste to mention one school, but everything I've heard about Yang puts him head and shoulders above anybody else. RussNelson 04:52, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm not going to change it but the last line does look awkward and random. It feels like an advertisement although I am sure you did not intend for it to be so.69.181.82.210 06:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
- I will change it. While Yang's books are relatively famous in the West, to say that he is highly regarded by the international martial art community compared to other practitioners isn't necessarily accurate. Qin na is a style of training that is found in most Chinese martial arts, I train it and teach it myself. If anything, there should only be a listing of Yang's book here, Yang himself should more accurately be mentioned at the White Crane Kung Fu complex of articles.
